Switch 2 GameCube Controller Works Outside Of Switch Online, But Could Run Into "Issues"

The Nintendo GameCube Controller for Switch 2 will work with games outside of Nintendo Switch Online, Nintendo has confirmed

The Switch 2's GameCube controller was revealed alongside the addition of GameCube games to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack during the April 2 Switch 2 Direct. It features a very similar layout to the original GameCube controller, but works wirelessly and has the Home, Capture, C, and ZL buttons present on the Joy-Con 2 controllers. A disclaimer in one of Nintendo's trailers suggested that the Switch 2's GameCube Controller wouldn't work with other games, which is why Nintendo had to clarify this in the first place.

This new GameCube controller will become available for preorder on the My Nintendo Store the same day as Nintendo Switch 2. Currently, that date appears to be May 8. You should also check out GameSpot's Switch 2 preorder guide if you plan on picking up Nintendo's new system.
