Smash Master
A lot of people are buying Smash Ultimate, so that means a lot of people are buying GameCube Controllers and adapters. Even people who don't have anything else to use it on.
Well, I just don't think it's very wise to only get a controller for only one game, a really good controller it may be. So; what else do or can you use your GC controller for?
I know the Switch has limited generic support for it in other games, but these are fairly few and can't easily be picked out on the surface. So which are they?
Basically, suggest Switch games, PC games that can be used with a driver, other things you can do with it... anything to make people get their full money's worth out of the controller and not feel like they got their caveats emptor'd.
General rule of thumb:
• The game in question can't be hindered by the missing buttons. The function of the ZR, -, and stick buttons must either be accessible in some other way or completely trivial.
Please test and add a game if you don't see it here.
(Tip: to change software with a GameCube controller despite the lack of a home button, put the console into sleep mode, wake it up, press to go to the news screen, and then from there will take you to the home screen.)
