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

        They said it about the DS at the time. It was meant to run in parallel with the GBA as a “premium” thing for adults. They said it about the SNES, too, actually.

        This bit of random outrage is fun to me because it’s something that has been Nintendo’s official stance since the early 90s, but it’s swung back around due to Don Mattrick being such a charisma black hole that what used to be the natural, go-to response to “how come the new, more advanced version is more expensive” has now become a genuine snafu.

        PR is not about reality, it’s about perception.

    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.

    In particular it would be absurd if this new GameCube controller doesn’t work with Smash Ultimate.

      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’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.”
