We're not complaining, however.
When Nintendo apparently added GameCube controller support on the sly to the Switch’s firmware in 4.0.0 everyone got a little bit excited. Was Nintendo planning GameCube Virtual Console support, was Smash Bros coming back soon? Turns out, it was just a happy accident.
Speaking to Kotaku, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime was asked about the support and what it all meant.
In our latest system software update, it enables third-party peripherals to work on Nintendo Switch. As a result, the peripheral for Wii U that allows it to attach GameCube controllers also works. I think it’s fair to say, Stephen, that that peripheral working was as much a surprise to us as it was to consumers.
Oh well, just means it’s not GameCube Virtual Console support this time… right?
More than half of this week's releases are utter rubbish.
