Nintendo fans celebrate, as the long -awaited GameCube control for Switch 2 is about to arrive! However, it will take a little patience (and an active signature of Nintendo Switch online ) to ensure yours. After all, iconic control remains one of the most beloved in the history of games, and its return promises to please, especially, the Super Smash Bros and the nostalgic of the GameCube classics.
The control, which will cost $ 64.99 (about $ 368.49 in the current price), will be fully wireless and compatible with Nintendo Switch online + Expansion Pack , allowing a more faithful experience when revisiting legendary titles. However, getting one of these controls is not as simple a task as going to a store or doing a common prewear.
How to ensure GameCube control on switch 2?
First, the lucky ones who receive an official Nintendo invitation to buy Switch 2 directly from the company will have priority in the acquisition of the control. These invitations will be sent between May 8 and 12 . Later, on May 13 , 2025, all members of Nintendo Switch online will be able to buy the control, with the limit of a unit . However, free service subscribers will not be eligible for purchase.
Therefore, it is good to be aware: the forecast is that the control runs out quickly, similar to what happens with Nintendo 64 controls, which often disappear from stock within minutes. Although GameCube control is not mandatory to play classic titles on Switch 2, it offers a special charm for new generation.
In addition, the official release of Nintendo Switch 2 takes place on June 5, 2025, accompanied by three GameCube games: F-Zero GX , The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Soulcalibur 2 . In addition, other classics like Luigi's Mansion , Super Mario Sunshine and Pokémon Colosseum are already confirmed, but no set date.
