The Best Ever Game Controller May Be Set for a Comeback

The GameCube controller is one of the best joypads Nintendo has ever released.

Launched alongside the diminutive GameCube in 2001 , the controller beautifully refined the inputs of the N64 's.

Its main thumbstick and D-Pad were aligned for easy reach, while the four C-buttons of its predecessor evolved into their final form, the C-stick, a long-overdue second thumbstick that allowed for better camera controls.

Nintendo might be bringing the GameCube controller back in some fashion.

Killscreen has recently revealed its " CubeSense " controller design for the PlayStation 5 , a customized version of the DualSense controller kitted out in GameCube 's signature indigo color scheme.

Rumors suggest Nintendo may add GameCube titles to the Switch Online retro gaming catalogue.

Nintendo needs to bring some of its GameCube games back in digital form.

Switch 2 is expected to be released this year , but the company hasn't confirmed a release date or specs.

If GameCube legacy titles were potentially exclusive to Switch 2 , that would likely seal the deal.
