Nintendo will release another GameCube Adapter for Smash Ultimate on 12/7, costs $20

GameCube controller is the one of the most beautiful pieces of electronics.
We'll be using it for every subsequent Smash Bros. title, I imagine.

Maybe Nintendo will try to get these controllers spread wide enough and starts finally releasing those Gamecube games.
Not a Smash guy, but I love the gamecube controller. Maybe the most comfortable controller ever(for my hands, anyway). Something about the L/R buttons was just so comfy haha. Wish there was a modern version that let me play most games with, but it would need some changes to adapt to today's standards. Mostly a second "Z" button to account for L1, and replacing the c-stick with a second analog one...but then again, I don't know if the controller would stop being so damn comfy if it had a second stick. Still, a guy can dream of an ideal world where there's a controller with the same comfort as the gamecube one but all the functionality of the modern ones right haha?
To this day no controller feels better in the hands. Not a single one.
I'm a little disappointed by the fact that it doesn't have other buttons in the middle so i'm assuming you can't use it for other games or it will be limited just like if you attach a gamecube controller on your Switch right now.
And most importantly still no ZL button. Why? I get they want to keep it like the original but man, just add one button and make it a fully functional controller for all games.
Like this could have been a very cool and cheap way to get a decent d-pad for many classic games.

In the WiiU era I agreed with this, but I absolutely preffer the Switch Pro controller.
Erm did you ever use the Gamecube d-pad? It's tiny, stiff and isn't really good for anything.
More like a testament to how much no one wanted to play Smash with a Wiimote lol.
Last time i touched a Gamecube controller was like 15 years ago, and i didn't have one so just played randomly with friends.
Is it Gameboy level of stiffness? cause i liked that one much more than Pro Controller's d-pad that goes all over the place.
I just dont understand tho atm. Okay lets face it, the pro controllers for both wii and wiiu where pretty much garbage, so i totally understand the necessity of the gc controller then. But the opposite is true for the switch pro controller, its one of the most comfortable controllers i have ever played. What is the use for it in 2018 with a good gamepad available to the playerbase?
The Switch Pro controller is great but for Smash i don't find the shoulder buttons to be anywhere near as comfortable as the GameCube controller. Plus the analogue stick on the GameCube is much tighter. I feel like if i played Smash too long with the Switch Pro controller the analogue would just wear itself out and eventually come off.
I think it works so well with Smash because most attacks are centered around the A button. It was huge on the GCN and now I actually get confused when i use any other controller for Smash.
I tried using the WiiU pro controllers and i'd get confused which button I was pressing. Dumb but true.

The GC Controller is still popular because the Wiimote was bad for playing Smash, so it managed to last two whole Smash "gens" and then people got too used to it.
The Wii also supported classic controller, classic controller pro, wii remote + nunchuck.
Gonna get that new controller. Maybe a second adapter as well. They could go a bit wild and release multiple colors, like the orange one that I wanted to get back in the day but never did. Oh well, at least new controllers get made at all.
Meanwhile, the only DS3 controllers I'm able to find are fake ones, that look and are packaged just like the real deal. Already got screwed like that by a local shop as well, for full price. Damn you Sony.

They didn't make enough of them for Smashh WIi U, NES classics, or SNES classics (they're getting better though). They also heavily pushed Amiibos and never stocked them properly (They did over stock Animal Crossing ones however)
Expect a lack of them on launch, but maybe 3-6 months down the line to be on store shelves.
thats probably never going to happen, if that was the case we would have seen signs on the internet by now just like with the dual shock 4.
But nostalgia doesnt automatically make something better. I loved sonic adventure 2 back in the day, but i know that if i would play it today it would probably not be the same game i remembered. And SA2 is not an exception in this i think
Managed to snag the last adapater GS had in stock in my area this past weekend. Guess I'll just wait for the new controller instead of shelling out for the Wii U re-issue. (Though I like how the Smash logo looks on that one better)
Are they releasing Gamecube controllers themselves again, or just that thirdparty licensed one?
OK thanks. So the game, all the amiibos and a new Gamecube controller will suffice at launch. Fuck me.
I already have 4 GCN controllers and the adapter, however I'm still excited about this.
New official controllers means I have an easy source of parts to restore my Wavebirds!
I've been thinking about buying new analog sticks for mine, and now.i don't have to go with sketchy eBay ones.

I expect the new controllers to be built like the last batch, and not be as nice as the original gcn pads again.
The shoulder buttons are probably going to suck again

It wasn't an issue to switch to the Wii U pro controller last gen. I honestly preferred it. Ended up selling my adapter after only a few uses. Nostalgia be damned.
It's not that the GameCube controller is perfect, I don't think anyone will say that. But it is perfect for Smash Brothers.
The buttons are perfectly raised for fast inputs, unlike the Switch Pro controller.
The analog is extremely tight, with a hex gate, perfect for Smash Brothers.
The C-Stick is just the right size and can be flicked quickly.
Not to mention Nintendo doesn't actually have a controller with analog triggers anymore.
