Says Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé

The Nintendo Switch recently saw the implementation of its 4.0 update, which added 30-second screen capture functionality, save data transfers, and more. Surprisingly, 4.0 also added GameCube controller support by way of the adapter that allows players to connect said controllers to the Wii U.

Needless to say, this immediately got people speculating on things to come. Is Nintendo gearing up for a GameCube Virtual Console? Is Super Smash Bros. Melee finally getting a Switch port?

Unfortunately, it seems that this newfound controller support is not a direct indicator of anything GameCube-related coming to the Switch.

Kotaku caught up with Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé to discuss several things related to the company. Fils-Aimé was asked about the GameCube controller support, and he provided an explanation.

Kotaku followed up by asking if support for Melee might be inbound. Naturally, Fils-Aime noted that there is nothing to announce.

The GameCube controller is often revered as the best controller for playing games in the Smash Bros. series. You can currently use GameCube controllers to play Switch games (by using the Wii U adapter), however, you might have to deal with a missing button or two.
