❌ Nintendo Store | Check Stock Currently, the Switch 2 Pro controller isn't available to pre-order straight from the US Nintendo Store. The official store just states "releases June 5" and has no pre-order option available.

As reported by VGC, the small print featured at the end of the Switch 2 GameCube trailer reads, "The controller is only compatible with Nintendo GameCube - Nintendo Classics," seemingly confirming that the gamepad won't work with any other Switch 2 games.

The new GameCube controller features some nice upgrades, but there's a major drawback to it.

Switch 2 preorders were originally supposed to go live today but were halted by Nintendo in the U.S. and Canada after President Trump’s latest round of tariffs threatened to torpedo its original $450 price.

Experts are starting to chime in that over time, Switch 2 prices may be 20% higher if Nintendo is impacted by tariffs to a significant degree.

Now, the reveal of the Switch 2's Joy-Cons are giving the publisher a real chance to compete in the shooter market once again. Nintendo hasn't strayed from porting major FPS games to the Switch. Classic games Doom and Quake are available alongside contemporary titles like Superhot and Dusk.
