FLUDDs of tears. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\nNintendo has released a new update<\/a> for Super Mario 3D All-Stars which adds in another fan-requested feature: GameCube controller support for Super Mario Sunshine. <\/p>\n

Nintendo Switch supports the GameCube controller via its separate adaptor, and Sunshine was made to be played by the GameCube’s controller – which led people to wonder why it wasn’t possible to play Sunshine as intended. <\/p>\n

Thankfully, Nintendo has listened – as it did with the introduction of an inverted controls option<\/a>, which is also now available. <\/p>\n

But while inverted controls are now available for Mario 64, Sunshine and Galaxy, the GameCube controller support is just for Sunshine. <\/p>\n

Obviously, you’ll need a GameCube controller adaptor to plug in your old pad, and you’ll need to be playing on an original Switch in TV mode, rather than in handheld, or on a Switch Lite. <\/p>\n

Now, how about that patch to add Galaxy 2?<\/p>\n
