This week, Nintendo fans received two critical information about the functionality of the Gamecube controller on Switch 2, which suggest that the original switch can have better support for the Gamecube controller.
Here is the first: the Gamecube Switch 2 controller will only work with games in the upcoming Gamecube library at Switch Online. Video Games Chronicle He noticed this information in a miniature print of the British version of the controller advertising, but it is not in other versions of the advertisement; We got to Nintendo to explain the situation and not hear yet. Secondly, the Gamecube controller adapter of the original switch – which connects via the USB port – will still be Compatible with switch 2.
Remember that we have not yet heard information about the Switch 2 update for Super Smash Bros. UltimateA game for which many people prefer to utilize the Gamecube controller instead of Joy-Cons. The game will continue to work on Switch 2 without official update, but in terms of the functionality of the Gamecube controller you will probably have to utilize the original switch adapter. In addition, Gamecube Super Smash Bros. Fight – which remains popular and has its own competitive scene to this day, despite the age of the game and the lack of support from Nintendo – it has not yet been confirmed that it will be included in the Switch 2 Gamecube, but this seems at least somewhat likely for this author. It would be one way to make Nintendo the Gamecube Switch 2 controller seems quite useful.
Regardless of this, it seems that Switch 2 SMASH fans can be slightly binding in this upcoming console cycle when it comes to organizing Gamecube controllers accessories. There will be a modern switch 2 controller, but it won’t work Smash Ultimate; You will have to keep the Gamecube adapter. As for whether Gamecube Switch 2 controllers will work even with this adapter, it is also not clear (again Nintendo has not yet answered Polygon’s questions on this topic). You can only hope the adapter I would do However, work with modern controllers.
To say all this, SMASH fans are an entrepreneurial group and have been maintaining the Gamecube controller for years despite the obstacles along the way. So I’m sure they’ll come to terms with it. However, it seems a bit strange that not only the Gamecube Switch 2 controller, which works in games outside the Gamecube library and requires an original switch accessory to allow it, but at least it seems that there is a way to utilize Gamecube controllers throughout the system.
