GameCube comes to the Switch!
5 Stars
GameCube comes to the Switch!
This adapter is great for adding GameCube controller capability to the Switch. It's functionally the same as the Wii U's GameCube controller adapter, so you could still use your old one if you have it around.The adapter still requires two USB ports to be plugged in for the full 4 controller and rumble features to work. If USB ports are a premium, you only need to plug in the black USB cable for basic controller functionality with no rumble. This can help if you only have one spare USB port available. Luckily the Switch has 3 USB ports, so you can use the side two for the adapter, and the remaining one for a LAN adapter or charging cable.

5/5. This GameCube controller adapter has the official Nintendo logo on it, so you know it’s the real deal. I had no interest in getting a cheap third party adapter, so this is perfect. It works and it even arrived sooner than expected! Fantastic experience overall.
