I highly doubt it
They probably mean that you can only use a gamecube controller for the gamecube nintendo classics. So not for NES, SNES, N64, GB or GBA.
Not sure if this was a mistake because it wasn’t mentioned in other versions of the Direct, but since I’ve seen a lot of people mentioning they want to use the controller for brand new Switch 2 games, I thought it was important to bring up.
You can see that text here: [Youtube link to Nintendo UK announcement](https://youtu.be/AmMxMVyWgvg?si=c0DqbbtMKN4stSo8&t=135).
I look forward to using it with my original Gamecube. Cheaper than buying a Wavebird no doubt.
Making this work with Smash seems like a no-brainer given they already sold a Gamecube controller and adapter for the Switch 1 just for Smash.
Will the L R shoulder buttons be analog? It is needed for Mario sunshine
Considering that they bothered to add a (tiny) ZL button which a GameCube game would never use, I highly doubt that’s the case.
