I recently acquired a Gamecube. I noticed that every single component is labelled "made in japan" except the controller, which was made in China. I can't verify that the controller is the one originally in the system box.

Does anyone have a USA model "made in japan" Nintendo brand controller (of the indigo/purple color, if it matters)? I am curious if they were all made in China, or if I just got a controller from a later production run.
