This week’s Nintendo Switch 2 Pre order, both in the US and abroad, offered more perspectives that how popular would it be when Nintendo’s new handheld console is launched on June 5. Already, it seems that consumers are ready to cut their tongue and are ready to leave the successor above $ 450 on the original switch.
If you are lucky enough to buy a device, you are staring at the barrel of $ 70 or $ 80 game, as well as $ 100 for additional controllers First-sided item of nintendo. Third-party accessories are cheaper, but the license set to sell along the switch 2 as well as the more Ala peripheral nintendo seems inferior to some ways compared to the official gear of the peripheral nintendo.
For example, if you are looking for the most authentic retro experience on Switch 2, you will have to trade practicality for value. Gamecube controller’s return – then – first looks like a big win for gamers. But then Nintendo offered the misleading cavet that it would only work with a gamecooube title available through a nintendo switch online + expansion pack membership.
Confirm Nintendo lifeNintendo clarified that you can actually use the gamecube controller to play other switch 2 games, as long as they eat for left bumper button deficiency and a correct analog stick deficiency that is a nipple -shaped. Nevertheless, the new gamecube controller will not work with any other console but switch 2.
When asked for clarification, Nintendo sent the following statements to Gizmodo:
Nintendo gamecube controller is designed for use with Nintendo Gamecube – Nintendo Classics Collection of Games and an alternative way to play those games. Since it does not have all the buttons and characteristics found in other controllers, which can be used with a nintendo switch 2 system, there may be some issues when playing other games. Nintendo gamecube controller can only be used on nintendo switch 2 and is not compatible with nintendo switch.
Nintendo recently Updated listing For your gamecube controller on your website. Initial reports suggested that the controller of the controller would be $ 65, but the product page now only states that it will launch with switch 2 on 5 June. Only those who undergo priority sales of Nintendo at My Nintendo Store may be an option to buy it on May 8 on May 8. Gizmodo reached Nintendo to confirm a final retail value, and we will post it if we hear more.
Nevertheless, even though the controller eliminates retailing for $ 65, it is much cheaper than the new $ 85 Pro Controller and $ 95 Joy-C2 (Nintendo recently hit each peripheral price by $ 5, citing US tariffs). Both those first-sided controllers feel great at hand, but premium prices only add the cost of one price switch 2.
Switch 2 gamecube controller is not the only accessory that cannot work in your view. If you have paid full attention, the April 2 can withstand other issues with delay and mild images while streaming friends by using the $ 55 1080p-resolution switch 2 camera of the direct suggested gamers of Switch 2.

Hori, which makes a licensed nintendo product, is selling a Piranha plant camera that retails for $ 60. You think it costs more than the official switch 2 camera that the resolution may be better, but no, it is really worse! Adorable, Piranha camera is only 480p resolution, which is also not standard HD.
Hori has another low-cute camera compatible with switch 2. You can find Amazon’s Japan Webpage, But it is also limited to 480p resolution. Its price is 3,981 yen, or about $ 28 in the US, although we can only assume that the tariffs will have high prices at home. On the contrary, both the cameras of Hori can plug the USB-C port of Switch 2, while the handheld, which cannot do some nintendo official camera.
Until we tried cameras, we will not know how they compare nintendo. It is possible that low resolution on Hori cameras can mean less interval and the quality of the image is negligible on the screen of switch 2.
Nintendo’s store page mentions that you on switch 2 “prefer any compatible USB-C camera, which you like,”, which you should be able to use the third-party webcam, but the company has not yet confirmed it. If so, you may have more camera options.
Why did Nintendo not update the Game Cubub Controller to do more work like a modern gamepad? Why is Hori cheaper on the resolution of her cameras? I wish I had real answers. So before you get out and buy any switch 2 items, just make sure you know what they can do.
