Earlier this month, Hyperkin revealed a new GameCube-style controller known as the “ProCube”. The plan is have it work with all games that support the Pro Controller on Wii U.

Hyperkin ended up showcasing “handmade” prototypes of the ProCube at EVO 2015, and gathered feedback from gamers. There’s good news to report: the controller was very well received.

Hyperkin product manager Chris Gallizzi told GamesBeat:

“The results are very positive. Every single person loved how comfortable the controller is. [Evo attendees] commented on how they love the fact that it will work on all pro-controller supported games. The one thing that stood out to all survey takers was the bumpers and triggers. Since they are digital, not analog, they feel as if they get a more immediate response then the original GameCube controller.”

When the ProCube was first unveiled, Hyperkin said the controller would move into production depending on how it was received. There’s a high chance then that the product will eventually be sold on the market.

Footage has been uploaded to YouTube showing Luigi’s Mansion Arcade, which recently came to Japan. We’ve posted the video below.

In the footage, you can see the new bomb item. This can be thrown at shielded Greenies to break their defense and make them immediately susceptible to capture. It’s a bit different compared to how things were handled in Dark Moon, since Luigi usually needed to reveal them using the Dark Light first, weave his way behind it, flash it with the strobe light to make the Greenie drop its armor, and then repeat flash it again to activate the capture sequence.
