The Switch 2’s Online Expansion Pack tier will include the GameCube library at its debut, and alongside this, Nintendo plans to introduce a new wireless GameCube controller, crafted based on the original model with additional buttons.
A video has now been launched on its Nintendo Today! mobile app, offering fans a closer insight and emphasizing some of the new buttons atop the controller, like the ZL button and other Switch 2 controls.
There’s even some ASMR action featuring the satisfying sounds of button clicks and analog stick rotations. If you don’t have the app, check out this preview, courtesy of ‘Stealth40k’ on social media:
Regarding the upcoming GameCube Switch Online collection, Nintendo has also released additional gameplay footage of SoulCalibur II. This will be one of the launch titles on the app, along with Zelda: Wind Waker and F-Zero GX.
For those interested in a GameCube controller for Switch 2, you’ll need to check your local My Nintendo Store for availability. This controller is also compatible with other games, although some issues may arise according to Nintendo.
