The GameCube library is making a comeback next month on the Switch 2’s Online Expansion Pack tier. Along with this exciting news, Nintendo is also set to release a new wireless GameCube controller, inspired by the original design but with some extra buttons thrown in for good measure. A video showcasing the controller has already been released on the Nintendo Today! mobile app, giving fans a closer look at the new features, including the ZL button and various other Switch 2 buttons. The video even includes some ASMR moments with satisfying button clicks and analog stick rotations. If you’re not into apps, you can still catch a glimpse of the controller thanks to a social media post from ‘Stealth40k’.
GameCube enthusiasts will be thrilled to know that alongside the new controller, Nintendo has shared some gameplay footage of SoulCalibur II, one of the release titles on the upcoming GameCube Switch Online library. Other titles set to be included in the library are Zelda: Wind Waker and F-Zero GX. If you’re interested in getting your hands on a GameCube controller for Switch 2, make sure to check your local My Nintendo Store for availability. While the controller can be used with other games, Nintendo has hinted at potential issues that players may encounter.
