Here’s something very neat about Switch’s new firmware update. If you’ve installed the new 4.0.0 update, you can get GameCube controllers to work with the console. You just need the Wii U GameCube Adapter that Nintendo sold back in the day.

Once you’ve plugged the adapter in, you can pair the GameCube controllers to your Switch in the main menu. On the controller settings page, press L+R as you normally would. And that’s it! It should be working when you’re back on the main menu, and can work with games like Fire Emblem Warriors.

The only issue is that the GameCube controller doesn’t have a left Z button – there’s only the one Z button on the right, and only has a start button, so you can’t go back to the main menu. But hey: maybe GameCube controller support could be brought back for the eventual Smash Bros. Switch or theoretical GameCube Virtual Console?

this is pretty big

The Smash 4 ones shield dropped really well and had the crispiest snap back once they were worn in. After a week of grinding I had mine almost as good as these fucking perfect OG ones I’ve been holding onto.

Could the rumours of GCN games coming to the virtual console be true?

Also I think we should all collectively start calling the "Switch" the "NS".

That's pretty cool. I'd love to see some compatibility for Xbox 360 controllers on XB1 someday.

Nice

All this console needs is a few more games, 3rd party app support (YouTube, Netflix, Crunchyroll, etc.) and backwards compatibility to be perfect. In the words of the immortal TBlocks, "This is some space-age shit" and I've loved every minute of playing it on the go. Today I had to wait an hour and a half for my brother to finish at the gym. I adjusted my steering wheel, took off the joycons, and placed the screen leaning on the horn to play in the comfort of the driver's seat while I waited. This is something I fantasised about in the eight grade: a portable home console.

"killer app"?
the game that's most likely to cause a torrential downpour of switch sales and be the primary reason people will be getting a switch, like halo: ce was for xbox

you might say botw was that, but i think most people just played it safe and bought it on wii u instead

oh, i thought you were being ironic or quoting a shitty reviewer or something because of the quotation marks.

yeah people have been saying it looks great but i only watched the announcement trailer so... just like botw im going in blind.
