Nintendo UK store email states that the GameCube controller adapter for Switch has been delayed to May 2019
There’s a bit of a strange situation going on with the GameCube controller adapter for Switch. Over in North America, the device has been available for a couple of weeks. The same can’t be said of the UK though, and the wait for the adapter could be a long one.
Earlier today, the Nintendo UK store sent out email to customers who pre-ordered. It states that “due to unforeseen production issues,” the adapter won’t be ready until May 2019. It’s unclear what could have caused such a lengthy delay at this time.
The full message reads:
