GCN Controller

A Nintendo Switch 2 version of the Nintendo GameCube controller is also materialized to coincide with the app's release. It maintains the same look and feel of the original, but with additional minature buttons including access to the "Home" menu and "C" button for live chat, as well as wireless and charging capabilities. Additionally, the port on the back of the controller was filled, making it incompatible with the Nintendo GameCube accessories.
