Now that the Nintendo Switch 2 and its initial wave of accessories have made it into fans’ hands, players have been surprised to discover that Nintendo’s GameCube controller for the Switch 2 supports gyro controls.
The new controller, available exclusively through Nintendo Switch Online and at select physical Nintendo stores, looks almost exactly like an original GameCube controller but features some key upgrades. The original c-stick doubles as the Switch 2’s new C-button, which will open GameChat, and the internals have been re-arranged for a more responsive d-pad, according to a parts breakdown on Reddit.
