Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console

The new switch has a whole button that doesn't work without a paid online subscription 🤪

Lemmy on Nintendo: "Why should I pay for online play?! It needs to be free, moderated, and exist indefinitely even after the obsolescence of the product. Otherwise, I'm entirely justified in pirating everything."

Really? I have the Wii U ones and they put up with a lot of abuse. The rubber on soke the sticks would have completely deteriorated but they still input accurately.
It's honestly what's made me so bitter about the Joy Cons.

Right, but he sub is shareable and a pretty cheap barrier for entry... and required to play those GameCube games anyway.
wrote 15 days ago last edited byNintendo opting to forgo selling retro games piecemeal and instead expecting consumers to rent access to them in perpetuity is an anti-consumer move. I have no problem paying for games when they're sold at affordable, reasonable prices, so until that's the case for Nintendo's library, better to just emulate as much of it as possible.

wrote 15 days ago last edited bySure, but that's a different issue; I agree with that. Don't forget that if you even are allowed to 'buy' them, they will close the online service for that platform in the future with no guarantee you can use it on another platform.

How I can't play N64 games without a subscription?

Yes, Nintendo! Please paywall my nostalgia of the very first game console I ever played! Charge me an exorbitant price during a economic crisis to satisfy my childlike need to regress to a time before I understood what money was!

I bought the one they released for the Wii U and it only worked for Smash
wrote 15 days ago last edited byThat one was a reissue of the original GameCube controller with the original connector and everything. It works on the original GameCube and Wii and with the USB adapter that was released with it, you can use it or any other GameCube controller on the WiiU, Switch and maybe even Switch 2.
This new controller looks like a GameCube controller, but is something entirely new. It is a modern wireless controller that mimics the GameCube controller shape and button layout but won't work on the original GameCube, at least not without some additional adapter hardware

I guess they don't want your money if you're not buying the switch. Strange move, but I guess it's their prerogative to alienate more consumers.
