    “We’ve updated this article to note that Nintendo has made similar disclaimers with its previous retro controllers, which have ended up working with other Switch games. While this is no confirmation that the same will be the case with the GameCube controller, it does at least provide some hope that it won’t be as locked-off as Nintendo says.”

    Well at least they got their clicks.

      It’s so stupid. I have literally plugged GC controllers into my Switch with an adapter hub, and they worked with non-GC games. This is deliberately worse.

            Oh, so it’s just ragebait and they’re reporting on nothing? I fell for it.

            Just read the article for a change and you’d see that it was a later update to the article.

            Edit: That’s also literally in the part I quoted.

              You just got done telling me they are reporting as fact something that is likely not so, and now you are scoffing at me for not having wasted my time. If there is any reason for this article to still be published or even discussed, it has eluded me.

    That makes no sense to me, it has ZL button from what I’ve seen and that leads me to believe that it’s more like a pro controller

    “We are also pleased to announce that, next year, we will be adding support for Gamecube games other than Super Smash Bros. Melee.” /s

    That sucks since it has analog triggers and a lot of people I watch were hoping it could be used for certain shooters.

      They’re just not officially supporting it. I hope Reto will informally make Metroid Prime 4 work with this the same way as MP1. I don’t like twin stick controls and mouse controls are not feasible on the go.
