Wasn't he adamant that GC on Switch could never ever be done??

Not sure I'd bother with GX on Switch 2. I don't want to buy a GC controller for the console and GX with digital triggers...Comment

NSO emulation is definitely not top-draw (Virtual Console was quite clearly superior because Nintendo made more of an effort with it). Are we definitely sure that the NSO GC controller is digital triggers?Originally posted by Neon Ignition View Post
Also, Nintendo have confirmed that the GC Controller Adapter can be used with original GC controllers for GC on NSO.

That's good that the GC pad adapter can be used, especially as it was really a WiiU peripheral originally.
I liked using that to play Sunshine on the Mario 3D Allstars collection. Although there is a lot of gipping on pricing with the Switch 2, they remain pretty generous in terms of controller compatibility.Comment

Nintendo haven't yet found a way to justify charging €60/£70/$80 for a Switch 2 port of Wind Waker HD refuse to rule out bringing Wind Waker HD to Switch 2.

Honestly when I saw that that was the first game they were bringing for GC I thought it was absolutely nuts when you consider they already did an HD version.
It worked great on WiiU too. It was so useful having the map on the gamepad screen for the sailing parts. Shame they didn't include wireless docking on the Switch 2 so the same thing could be done on it.Comment

I think the NSO version of the GC pad has analogue triggers, but I'm not willing to pay for a controller specifically for a handful games on GC that use it - which is a shame as games like GX are great but it really highlights the continued stupidity of maintaining digital triggers as the default for Switch 2.
For Wind Waker - I had the same reaction, knowing HD exists and the rumours of it being lined up for rerelease along with Twilight Princess, the move to put it out on NSO is an odd move for Nintendo as it really kicks the legs out from HD getting a rerelease, it's the version I'd have preferred to have seen come out despite the cost.
For me, I think one of the issues with GC NSO is that I can't shake a sense that Nintendo left it too long. There's not actually that much I'm bothered about revisiting anymore.Comment

Nah. I can see what you're saying, but GC on NSO will always be wanted by the diehards who were calling for it back in the day. Just like the rest of the NSO service, classic game emulation is a nice convenience to have and nothing more.Originally posted by Neon Ignition View Post
I will say that the fact that GC on NSO is Switch 2 only pours a fair bit of cold water on it for me. Splintering the NSO subscription service even further to cynically entice people to upgrade their hardware is p1ss-poor.

It's ironic that it's seen as an incentive as well, and I guess how strongly supported the controller has been considering the general lack of success and love the actual system enjoyed. This is the fifth generation in a row the GameCube controller has had support or a rerelease. I guess it makes more sense this time due to NSO rather than catering to just Smash Bros Brawl fanatics who can't move on from it.

Now THAT is shocking. It defies belief. I'm guessing that an NSO sub will give you access to the DLC for Switch 2 BOTW (cba to check) but that still doesn't justify this decision.Originally posted by Neon Ignition View Post
I'm just glad I managed to get a copy of the JPN complete version of Switch 1 BOTW.Last edited by Nu-Eclipse; 10-04-2025, 12:37.Comment

One of the first things I saw online was people lining up to say they were going to sell their Switches immediately because it was redundant in the face of the Switch 2 but stuff like this helps cement why my OLED will remain. The number of games that will be worthwhile potentially paying extra for on Switch 2 will be a drop in the ocean, I don't think I care enough to add the expense and lose the peace of mind having a Switch that I feel more comfortable being out in public with.Comment

£90 and the f*****g gall to not include the expansion content either for what’s effectively a WiiU game, absolutely outrageous.Originally posted by Neon Ignition View PostComment

You don't need an NSO account to purchase and download stuff from the store. I assume I should be able to redownload the Zelda DLC on my new Switch 2 when it arrives?Originally posted by Nu-Eclipse View Post
I still have my original Switch Zelda carts, or am I missing something?Comment
