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

Initially. Still annoying but title is misleading.
Well that got me all worked up for no reason, didn't it.
Thanks for the clarification.
COME ON, OP!
-
I need a fucking online subscription to buy a controller???
A controller that is useful only when you have that online subscription to play the back catalogue, yes.

Lol yeah. It makes sense. You don't want your peripheral for the console to sell out to buyers that just want to use it for emulation.

But... I want it for emulation.... Any good reliable 3rd party out there?
-
But you don't have the sub (cheap when sharing a family pack) so you can't play the N64 games anyway.
How I can't play N64 games without a subscription?

PowerA did a good wireless one that also had a second Z button on the other side

using last-gen hardware in their consoles
I mean thereâs nothing inherently wrong with that (if only they charged last-gen prices as well lol)
but anyways hereâs a bunch more shit theyâve done:
- killing emulation projects
- patenting basic gameplay elements
- sued a man so hard he was forced to pay them part of his income for the rest of his life
- charging full price for basic rereleases
and for a few older ones, just to show that theyâve been shitty this whole time, actually:
- attempting to kill game cheating devices (like the game genie)
- preventing 3rd parties from releasing games on competitorâs consoles, essentially giving themselves a monopoly
- attempting to kill video game rentals
I wouldn't go as far a stating that it's mainly a systemic problem. Individual choices also matter to some degree.

In another bullshit move by Nintendo this time around.
Bullshit. They are doing that to cause a fever of pre-orders in the US despite the tariffs. Within a year, they will be on shelves.

Nintendo keeps shooting themselves in the foot. On one hand, as a PCMRer and massive fan of Valve, I'm glad to see how many are open to moving over here. On the other hand, Nintendo was the last console manufacturer I actually liked (despite their anti-emulation crusade) and so it's like a death of an era.
The future really is in console-like PCs a la the Steam Deck and Valve's upcoming Fremont.

Or they will be worth their weight in gold like GameCube Component cables

I can't buy any of their classic controllers here in Norway. Never understood why we were left out.

Lol gimps trying to squeeze as much profit as they can get from the people
-
Can you think of a better way to keep it mostly out of the hands of scalpers?
Put the onus on the retailer to limit how many units a single customer can purchase. Why would Nintendo give a single fuck about scalpers, anyway?
-
Remember, Nintendo tried to sue a grocery store in Costa Rica. Maybe donât support them.
Remember Nintendo⌠please feel free to list the hundred other crappy things they did here.
-
People are going to buy it anyway. There is no amount of abuse a Nintendo fanboy wonât endure.
Youâre totally right

NYXI Wizard maybe

I bought the one they released for the Wii U and it only worked for Smash

Yes, itâs the same for their other classic controllers.

I have the version that was made for the OG Switch and the build quality is garbage tier. Developed stick drift in both sticks in less than a month.
