Fans were wondering whether this was Nintendo laying the groundwork for some exciting things in the future, though no Virtual Console has yet materialized, there\u2019s been talk of GameCube games on the Switch. Also, for the inevitable Super Smash Bros., who wouldn\u2019t want the option to use the GameCube controller?<\/p>\n<p>In a recent interview with Kotaku, Reggie Fils-Aime talked a bit more on the included support, though his reply was rather amusing. Here\u2019s what he had to say:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>In our latest system software update, it enables third-party peripherals to work on Nintendo Switch. As a result, the peripheral for Wii U that allows it to attach GameCube controllers also works. I think it\u2019s fair to say, Stephen, that that peripheral working was as much a surprise to us as it was to consumers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So, there you have it, <em>everyone<\/em> was surprised by the GameCube controller support. Still, here\u2019s to hoping that doesn\u2019t mean GameCube games aren\u2019t involved in the Switch\u2019s future someday.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think?
