Nintendo Switch Supports Nintendo GameCube Adapter In Latest Update

The Nintendo Switch recently had a huge update in the form of Version 4.0. What wasn’t made clear or even listed in the update is that the update allows the Nintendo Switch to support GameCube controllers via the adapter. The news was discovered by Twitter user Master Mewking. You can use the GameCube controller with all Nintendo Switch games right now using the adapter. Could it be that the GameCube Virtual Console, which has been rumored for a while, is on its way?
