Nintendo’s new Switch 2 gamepad updates the classic GameCube Controller with a wireless design, a GameChat button, and USB-C. However, it only works with GameCube titles available through the Switch Online Expansion Pack.

It proved a massive hit with Nintendo fans, and the GameCube controller subsequently became one of the most beloved pads of all time; a feat bolstered nicely by the fan-favourite wireless ‘WaveBird’ variant.

The Nintendo Switch 2 GameCube Controller is a great-feeling recreation of a classic gamepad, furnished with some extra hidden buttons to make it a shade more modern, but it’s too limited to use outside of the Switch Online game library.
