Awesome, one of my favorite controllers sees the light of a new generation yet again. I was bummed that you couldn't use the GC adapter for the Wii U VC - it made me hesitant to transfer my Wii data over since I used GC controllers for all the multiplayer games.

I'm just glad that seems you will be able to use it for most of the Switch's games, unlike the Wii U where you could only use it for Smash Bros...

I might play BotW or Odyssey with the GC controller now.

Kudos to Nintendo for supporting a controller for so long (literally 16 years now, holy shit). But I've never understood the enduring love for the Gamecube controller. The Wii Classic Controller Pro was better, and the Switch Pro Controller is the best one Nintendo has made yet.

I can't find the GC controller port on my switch. I tried jamming it into the SD slot, but I may have broken something.

Even if you have it plugged in the dock you can control it on the handheld screen? Dude that's so tight

Am I the only one who finds it funny that a 14(?) year old controller works on a "next gen console"?

It's the last good controller they've had. ;)
(Actually the Pro controller was fine)

So, do you need that stupid port thing for the Wii U to use them on a Switch? Had no interest in a Switch before, but being able to use a decent controller that doesn't cost 70 fucking dollars or whatever definitely makes it more appealing.

Controllers haven't really evolved past gen 6 in terms of buttons.

Remember losing Smash games because the shield buttons were analog and not buttons?

Yes. Yes I do.

Thw WiiU Gamepad is my all-time favorite Smash controller, no doubt. My one bud I frequently play smash with, of course, still rocks the GC controller.

Meh, never liked the GC controller that much. It always felt too small, and I don't even have big hands.

Plenty of games use it. Regardless whether it's stupid or the best idea ever, it's still an "evolution" of the controller.

Depending on the game it can be up to 3 different buttons.
