Panda Global announced an incoming Kickstarter project for a portable Switch dock that includes four GameCube controller ports for playingSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateon the go. Dubbed the “Panda Global’s Ultimate GameCube Adapter,” this will make playingUltimateon the go with a GameCube controller far less convoluted. The Kickstarter will launch in early/mid January.The adapter will cost roughly $45 USD and will ship internationally. Panda Global tweeted out a teaser video that shows the adapter working with a Switch in handheld mode. The team followed up with a few answers to some frequently asked questions. The questions and their answers are below.

“1. Will it brick? – No.

  1. What is it? – A GC adapter and stand in one! Works docked or on the go. Can charge through the stand too. 3. How much? – Roughly $45 (final price pending).

4. Where? – Kickstarter is set to launch early/mid January!

5. Why? –

6. Ethernet port? — Looking into it!

  1. USB? — Same as above

  2. I have an adapter tho

— This adapter uses ONE USB PORT! The Switch dock only has three usb ports and the Nintendo GC adapter takes 2 USB ports. So you’re able to play 8 player with GC with ours + Nintendo’s!”

By “will it brick,” Panda Global means that this adapter will not double as a dock to output the Switch to a TV since third-party docks have a tendency to break (also known as brick) Switch consoles. There will possibly be an ethernet port on the back to provide LAN support for online play.

Another option for using GameCube controllers with a Switch, outside of Nintendo’s official adapter, you may buy8BitDo’s wireless GameCube controller adapter, but it only supports one GameCube controller.
