How to Reset a GameCube Controller

The Nintendo GameCube, much like other sixth-generation home gaming consoles, makes use of a controller with one or more joysticks, or control sticks. If these controllers are improperly plugged into gaming consoles, gamers may experience problems with their control sticks, which can only be resolved by resetting the controller. If you notice that your character keeps moving while you are not touching your controller, you can reset your controller easily.
