      It’s so stupid. I have literally plugged GC controllers into my Switch with an adapter hub, and they worked with non-GC games. This is deliberately worse.

        “We’ve updated this article to note that Nintendo has made similar disclaimers with its previous retro controllers, which have ended up working with other Switch games.”

            Oh, so it’s just ragebait and they’re reporting on nothing? I fell for it.

            Just read the article for a change and you’d see that it was a later update to the article.

            Edit: That’s also literally in the part I quoted.

              You just got done telling me they are reporting as fact something that is likely not so, and now you are scoffing at me for not having wasted my time. If there is any reason for this article to still be published or even discussed, it has eluded me.

                Nintendo said it might not be compatible. People reported on what Nintendo said, with the caveat that they have said similar things in the past that did not turn out to be true.

            No, they’re reporting that Nintendo is saying it, and also reporting that in the past it’s hasn’t been true. Consider it a warning, and to set your expectations if you buy a Switch 2.
