The fact that GameCube controllers work with the Switch is incredible. Hopefully that means that GCN games are incoming.

It wouldn't be a video game forum without the sarcastic remarks towards stability. It feels good to be home. :3
My Switch isn't working with the Gamecube controller adapter.
I have it plugged into both ports on the side of the Switch dock and the Gamecube controller plugged into multiple ports and L+R aren't picking up the controller.
Am I doing something wrong?

Have you watched any of the videos on YouTube about the setup process? You need to go into the recognize controller screen from the system menu. It also only works with the official Nintendo adapter, third party ones have apparently been hit or miss.
Yeah, I'm having problems getting my Switch to read my GCN controller adapter again, even pre-update. I somehow got it to work last time I tried, but now it's not working again.
I tested the adapter on my Wii U, and it works fine there. And I've confirmed that both of the outside USB ports on my Switch dock work. So I have no idea what's wrong.
EDIT: I am going to the Controllers > Change Grip/Order menu to try to pair them. And the adapter I'm using is the official one.

Yeah, I'm trying to do that, with the official Nintendo adapter and no dice. Multiple Gamecube controllers too.
I did the system update with no adapter plugged in, so it wasn't plugged in when the system booted. Then I plugged the adapter in, then plugged a GC controller in the port 1. Then I went to the controller screen on the home menu, selected the "Change order" option and pressed L & R on the Gamecube controller. Worked on the first try. If that doesn't work, maybe Power Off the system completely and reboot it with the adapter unplugged, the plug it in on the home menu and try again?
If it matters, I was using the Switch Pro controller to start the process.
Thank you for your feedback. That wasn't my intention at all, however, thank you for the insight. I edited my post!
Honestly, Switch is my favorite console this gen. It's the console of fatherhood for me. I'll gladly accept dat stability.
I got a Switch this week, my first Nintendo console since the NES and I love it. I haven't played local multiplayer games at all, mainly because the controls are just too complicated for my fiance, but we had a blast today with Mario Kart and the Snipperclips demo.
I have a question.
I haven't used my Switch in docked mode; only in portable mode.
Was the OS updated to be rendered at 1080p while docked?

Nintendo is going hard to make sure they keep everything as up to date as possible. This is much appreciated.
Yeah, like Akoi said, makes too much sensse. It would be a nice gesture towards all those WiiU owners that stuck with Nintendo in bad times.
Thanks for the heads-up.
I'll have to get everything set up to be ready for Mario Odyssey on Friday.

I just tested with the Nyko dock and the update does NOT fix the wake up from sleep issue. Nyko has said they will have a firmware update to fix that though. Also, maybe I'm imagining it but the overall volume output seems lower when docked now. I had to turn up the volume on my TV today to hear it.
Still no firmware fix for dodgy battery indicator. I don't like Nintendo's fix.

There was a bug introduced in 3.0.2 that prevented the Switch from waking from sleep in handheld mode. You would have to force power off and then restart.
This got fixed in 4.0.0 but that introduced a new bug which was similar but for docked mode.
I hope 4.0.1 fixes that now.

I just discovered that this update has rendered my 3rd party AC adaptor incompatible.
Fantastic fucking timing, Nintendo. I can't play Odyssey and won't be back home for another eight days. Fucking hell. Why.

I've been having issues with my Vizio TV when turning on after sleeping. Hopefully this fixed that.
EDIT: Oh wait this was on Wednesday... Nope still having issues.

I love a bit of stability, but Nintendo still haven't fixed the issue that they introduced with 4.0.0 related to display resolution problems (mostly with people using DVI inputs on older monitors, but some old television owners are also suffering even with HDMI input). What happens is that, since 4.0.0, affected Switch owners can no longer select any resolution above 480p
Does anyone here have this problem?
