US Prices and 3D Model for The Switch 2 GCC
Small update again, we finally got the MSRP for the US release of the controller – $64.99usd. It somehow does not show up on the online store’s page itself, it gives a greyed out “Releases June 5th” button. But if you go to another accessories’ page, it’ll pop up at the bottom.

Platinum GCC Hybrids, Quick Update
That’s a funky one; a few days after posting the previous blog about those weird Platinum hybrid shells, a friend found a standard platinum controller, but with a darker logo. The controller is a standard T3, regular grey shell with the pretty silver paint sprayed on top of it. However, the logo stamped on theContinue reading “Platinum GCC Hybrids, Quick Update”
Platinum GameCube Controller Hybrids
There’s a mention on Wikipedia that Nintendo of America kept selling Platinum GCCs on their online website up until 2012. Only one out of the five standard US colors, weird.
