Should Nintendo make controller adapters (like their current GameCube one) for Switch?

EdReedFan20 · Jul 20, 2019

I would love for Nintendo to make adapters for all their controllers to join the current GameCube adapter, especially if they add games from SNES and onward as part of the Switch Online service. Still having my original controllers, I would love to be able to use them. I know they sell an NES controller exclusively for Switch Online subscribers, but I would rather use my originals. In a perfect world, they'd create a controller hub, which would have inputs for NES/SNES/N64/GC.

They should at least support the NES and SNES Classic controllers. The d-pad situation on Switch is pretty bad.

I would say yes, but 8bitdo seems to be covering that pretty well. You can even use your GC and Wii Dongles wirelessly with their peripherals.

I tried to find the GCN adapter like a month after launch and they were gone

I hear the Mayflash adapter works well, too, and provides another USB port.

If they made Wii port controller adapters that would cover a lot of options at this point.

The image of someone playing the Switch with an N64 controller is funny. Maybe for Turok?

I just saw a third party one at my Best Buy, so I'm surprised to hear this.

I guess I lucked out. I got mine new from Amazon just before SSBU's release.

Edit: Available, but expensive

I wouldn't say lucked out, they were available for a week or two. As long as your plan was to get one at launch it wasn't a big deal.
