A GameCube Controller Comes With Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Limited Edition

@genji_shimada: they had a pro controller on the wiiu aswell, worked great just like thew switch, only issue was that the wiiu didn't sell well

@genji_shimada: why not just make a new controller... Microsoft does it all the time.

@Daveof89: People aren't rational about GameCube controllers, Smash, or really even the Switch in general. : p

@Daveof89: that's only if you're ignorant enough to acknowledge the fact that Nintendo already confirmed the controller is compatible with other games like MK8. But then again, people have been paying over 300$ for a throttle and a flight sim controller or a racing wheels + pedal + shifter just for one game so how is it anymore excessive than what people have already been doing for over 2 decades? Moreover, this controller is only 30$; only 90% cheaper than those expensive racing wheel/flight sim controller and it's totally optional. Pro controller will do the exact same job for everyone who isn't a pro smash player (in essence, more than 99.99% of the Smash crowd won't see a difference playing with Pro rather than gamecube controller).

@Flyin3lvl: You also have to keep input lag in mind, these are primarily targeted at competitive smash players. Competitive fighting game players on the whole prefer wired controllers as a means of reducing input lag.

@Flyin3lvl: probably. But it's also easier and cheaper to start manufacturing again the same product than asking to build a newer model which house the exact same features as the original design but with the addition of a wireless option.

@Pyrosa: I don't understand why anybody would ever want to use an GameCube controller if they didn't have to either.
