New Nintendo GameCube Controller Not Compatible With Switch 2 Games, Just GameCube Classics

Users have learned that when the Nintendo Switch 2 releases, its new controller will primarily work with a restricted number of retro GameCube games through the Nintendo Switch Online service.

During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation, it was exciting to learn about the integration of GameCube in Nintendo Switch Online. This means that Nintendo’s collection of classic games is expanding further with GameCube additions. Famous titles such as Pokémon Stadium and Super Mario Sunshine will be part of the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack.

Officially, a series of Nintendo GameCube Controllers with the innovative C-Button will soon be available. However, it’s important to note that these unique controllers have certain limitations in their functionality.

You Can’t Use New GameCube Controller With Nintendo Switch 2 Games

The “Nintendo Switch 2 will host Classic GameCube games!” video on the Nintendo UK YouTube channel showcases the details of the upcoming GameCube Expansion features. Additionally, we get a sneak peek at the newly designed GameCube controller. However, a fine print notice appearing near the end may go unnoticed by some viewers.

At 2:13, a notification displayed at the top of the screen states: “This controller works with Nintendo GameCube and Nintendo Classic systems.

The controller isn’t budget-friendly and it’s quite an exclusive item. It can only be purchased by Nintendo Switch Online members on the My Nintendo Store. Unless you’re deeply passionate about Nintendo or GameCube, this could be another significant expense for hardware that works with a limited selection of games.

The total expense of the Switch 2 (its price), the games, and any additional tutorial fees can quickly accumulate. If you’re yearning for a fresh GameCube controller, or if you’re considering the new Pro Controller or Joy Con 2 instead, is this cost becoming too burdensome?
