Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 2 Comments
Target tends to hold a “buy 2, get 1 free” deal around the holidays. This weekend, the offer will be back once again, but with a notable exception.
Target’s sale officially starts on October 29. Almost every game is eligible – except for Switch. None of the console’s titles will be included. On the bright side, 3DS will be represented here, and presumably Wii U as well. An early flier highlights Pokemon, Super Mario Maker, and Smash Bros.
The sale should last through November 4.
Switch’s 4.0.0 update now allows for GameCube controller support with Wii U GameCube Adapter
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in GameCube, News, Switch, Wii U | 100 Comments
Here’s something very neat about Switch’s new firmware update. If you’ve installed the new 4.0.0 update, you can get GameCube controllers to work with the console. You just need the Wii U GameCube Adapter that Nintendo sold back in the day.
Once you’ve plugged the adapter in, you can pair the GameCube controllers to your Switch in the main menu. On the controller settings page, press L+R as you normally would. And that’s it! It should be working when you’re back on the main menu, and can work with games like Fire Emblem Warriors.
The only issue is that the GameCube controller doesn’t have a left Z button – there’s only the one Z button on the right, and only has a start button, so you can’t go back to the main menu. But hey: maybe GameCube controller support could be brought back for the eventual Smash Bros. Switch or theoretical GameCube Virtual Console?
