Mayflash GameCube adapter now works with Switch
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in GameCube, News, Switch | 10 Comments
Nintendo’s official GameCube adapter doesn’t work with Switch, but Mayflash’s offering does. Updating the controller’s firmware to the version that supports Pokken Tournament will allow you to use it with the system.
Note that the adapter only supports one controller. While you can plug in all four, they’ll all work as the same player. Some games also work better than others. It’s not really a good fit with Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but something like Puyo Puyo Tetris seems to work better. Basically it’s acting like a Pokken Tournament controller.
Here’s a look at it in action:

EA “exploring other products” for Switch, has to consider “player differences”
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 29 Comments
As of now, EA has just a single game lined up for Switch – that being FIFA 18. A big question going forward is how much the publisher will end up supporting Nintendo’s console.
EA executive VP of global publishing Laura Miele commented on bringing FIFA 18 to Switch and EA’s plans in general while speaking with GamesIndustry. EA is said to be “exploring other products” and “are looking at other IP and what the technology connections need to be for that.”
Miele mentioned:
“FIFA is the largest game in the business, so the offering and expansive footprint FIFA has around the globe will help connect Switch hardware to gamers as well. So I think it’s a strong mutual partnership with Nintendo. We love the mobility of the Switch and I think the content they’ve put out is really strong on it so far. We’re going to continue to watch how the hardware does. We are exploring other products. We are looking at other IP and what the technology connections need to be for that.”

Konami has been rolling out these TurboGrafx-16 games pretty regularly. We should be seeing these titles in the weeks and months ahead.
