If you’ve been waiting for a chance to get your hands on Nintendo’s GameCube Controller for the Switch 2, now’s your moment. It’s back in stock for $64.99 from the My Nintendo Store website.
As before, it’s only available to Nintendo Switch Online members, and it’s made to play GameCube titles available through the Switch Online Expansion Pack, like The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Soulcalibur II. To place an order, simply sign in to your account and complete your purchase on the product page. Note that sales are limited to one controller per account.
Nintendo’s new GameCube Controller blends the classic charm of the original with modern upgrades, like wireless connectivity. It also offers Nintendo’s “C” button for opening up GameChat, a fun, Discord-like voice chat service that’s free through March 31st, 2026. However, as Nintendo said ahead of the new system’s launch, this controller “doesn’t have all the buttons and features found in other controllers that can be used with the Nintendo Switch 2 system, there may be some issues when playing other games.”
The controller additionally features a USB-C charging port and extra buttons so you can, for instance, capture screenshots.
