Summary
Thethree GameCube games on the Nintendo Switch 2 at launchareThe Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker,F-Zero GX, andSoulcalibur 2. These are heavy hitters and considered some of the best GameCube games of all time, so it’s no surprise that many Switch 2 fans want an authentic experience. While other controllers can be used to play GameCube games on the Switch 2, Nintendo is giving fans the chance to purchase wireless GameCube controllers for its next-generation home console/handheld hybrid.
Nintendo Fans Put in Waiting Room While Trying to Buy Switch 2 GameCube Controllers
Based on various social media posts, there are those who successfully managed to pre-order aSwitch 2 GameCube controllerthrough Nintendo’s website. Unfortunately, it appears the vast majority of people that want a GameCube controller for Switch 2 are currently out of luck. For reference, I have personally been stuck on the Waiting Room page for about 40 minutes at the time of this writing and have yet to be given a chance to buy a Switch 2 GameCube controller.
It’s quite likely that Nintendo will sell out of its stock of Switch 2 GameCube controllers and fans will have to wait for a restock down the line. This wouldn’t be unlike what happened with theSwitch 1 Nintendo 64 controllers, so it’s a little frustrating that there doesn’t ever seem to be enough supply to meet demand for these items. It seems Nintendo vastly underestimated demand for the Switch 2 and its accessories, but hopefully there will be plenty to go around come launch.
