“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.
The headline is not misleading in any way. That’s exactly what Nintendo said.
It’s somewhat misleading. It’s not providing the additional background information, and it leads the headline with the claim (not that Nintendo is making a claim).
I don’t think it’s a bad headline. It’d be hard to include all the information in the headline. But if someone only reads the headline (something like 73% of people), they could end up with a mistaken conclusion. And those people will have been lead in that direction (so, mislead).
Huh? My actual GameCube controller works with all games on the Switch 1, although it doesn’t have all the buttons used by some games.
Lol pathetic
I guess I’ll just skip this generation like with the WiiU.
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
Boo.
I want an N64 controller for my PS5.
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.

“We are also pleased to announce that, next year, we will be adding support for Gamecube games other than Super Smash Bros. Melee.” /s
I doubt it. Why wouldn’t it just be a modified Pro controller like every other classic controller they’ve released. My guess is they are just managing expectations that it won’t be automatically usable with every game and mapped correctly.
I doubt I’ll ever connect this to my Switch 2, it’s going to be a replacement for the aging used WaveBirds that are hooked up to my Wii. With BlueRetro as the receiver, my guess is they’ll work day 1 or shortly after. For that, they’re awesome options.
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.
i C EMUlation is the way to go, huh doug?

Every time I hear a new piece of news about the Switch 2 it’s disappointing. Bummer

Didn’t you hear? Just buy a switch 1 if you can’t afford or care for the switch 2.

You can also buy this controller and use it with PCs for an authentic emulation experience.

It’s hilarious that it will work with any game on the Steam Deck.
