Kirby and I will fight anyone that dares advise the Nintendo GameCube did n’t preface one of the good restrainer excogitation of all metre . CountlessSuper Smash Bros.devotees agree with that persuasion , which is why Nintendo has even re - released it . But it’s8Bitdothat ’s created the in effect agency to really utilize a classic GameCube controller with your Switch .

If you ca n’t find your original GameCube computer hardware out front of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate ’s release on December 7 , and decline to play the game with anything else , Nintendo willhappily trade you a corded replacementfor just $ 30 . However , in lodge to connect it to your port - less Switch , you ’ll need to also bribe a$20 four - interface GameCube adapter from Nintendo , which can only be used while your electrical switch is dock in TV mode , which negate the cabinet ’s portability .

8Bitdo’snew GBros . adapter , which also trade for $ 20 , come out to be a better solution for playing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with your old GameCube hardware . Using a Bluetooth link , it allows the controller to be used with the Switch in portable or docked mode , and with the latter configuration , where your Switch is on the other side of the way next to your television receiver , the GBros . adapter let in extra home and screenshot button so you’re able to still easily navigate the cabinet ’s UI .

If you ’re also intro retro gaming on the Switch , the GBros . includes two ports so in addition to connecting a GameCube comptroller , it also works with the Wii ’s Classic Controller , and the tetheredNESandSNESgamepads design for use withNintendo ’s miniature all - in - one throwback solace . It regrettably wo n’t work with the original controllers from either of those authoritative system , butupgrading those with wireless capabilitiesis now superficial . Lastly , the adapter can also be toggled into a received Bluetooth controller way for utilization with emulators on a estimator run Windows .

The 8Bitdo GBros . wireless adapter is n’t the perfect solution , however . Nintendo ’s tethered adapter is the same Leontyne Price , and it allows up to four GameCube comptroller to be connected to the Switch with just the one transcriber . If you mean to meet Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with three other friends all huddled around the same covert ( as it ’s intended to be play ) locomote the wireless GBros . route will cost you $ 80 — unless you may convince everyone to buy and bring their own ironware .
