During the E3 Nintendo Direct presentation today, it was announced that Smash Bros. Ultimate will support GameCube controllers. It makes sense then that Nintendo is preparing a new GameCube controller adapter.
GameSpot heard from a Nintendo representative that the accessory will be released alongside Smash Bros. Ultimate in December. Additionally, it will cost $20.
A new line of Smash-branded GameCube controllers are also planned for later this year.
The official website for Smash Bros. Ultimate saw its grand opening today. It houses pages for every character confirmed thus far.
On the character pages, each portrait is accompanied by a stage. It’s here that nine more returning stages have been discovered.
Xander Mobus was the announcer in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. For Smash Bros. Ultimate, he’ll be reprising his role.
Mobus shared the news on Twitter today:
So I guess there was a gaming conference or something with some cool stuff announced? Either way…I'M BACK, BABY! pic.twitter.com/tdaCMvx20D

Thanks to a listing on Amazon, we have the boxart for Luigi’s Mansion 3DS. As you can see, there will be some sort of amiibo support. Also, while Nintendo has been moving away from it as of late, stereoscopic 3D is in as well.
You can pre-order Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna – Golden Country on Amazon here.
Nintendo has updated the release schedule on its platforms for the week of June 21. Here’s a look at the upcoming digital download schedule:
