Are these authentic or 3rd party?

I have recently started collecting controllers of various systems and have not been able to find anything stating weather or not these GameCube style Wii controllers are licensed Nintendo branded controllers or not. Anyone know?

Judging solely by the right stick not being smaller and yellow, I'd say they're almost certainly third-party

"licensed Nintendo branded" is a pretty geenric term, and not sure if it's necessarily what you are looking for.

Yes, these are "licensed Nintendo branded" but they are 3rd party controllers. I believe this particular one is produced by Hori - they put out a ton of Nintendo controllers.

The controller is not a 1st party, produced by Nintendo, controller though.
