===GameCube Controller Adapter=== | ===GameCube Controller Adapter=== | ||
As of version 4.0.0, the GameCube Controller Adapter originally developed for the [[Wii U]] can also be used for compatible games on the Nintendo Switch such as ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', allowing the user to connect up to four [[Nintendo GameCube#Nintendo GameCube Controller|Nintendo GameCube Controller]]s. Like on the Wii U, there are two USB ports on the Switch dock into which the adapter is plugged. All games recognize the GameCube controllers as a wired Nintendo Switch Pro Controller without motion controls. | As of version 4.0.0, the GameCube Controller Adapter originally developed for the [[Wii U]] can also be used for compatible games on the Nintendo Switch such as ''[[Super Smash Bros.

All games recognize the GameCube controllers as a wired Nintendo Switch Pro Controller without motion controls, with the exceptions of ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' and the ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' remaster in ''[[Super Mario 3D All-Stars]]'' (as of the version 1.1.0 update), both of which have native GameCube Controller support. The control stick ({{button|gcn|Stick}}), the {{button|gcn|C}} stick, and the {{button|gcn|Start}} and {{button|gcn|Z}} buttons are treated as the {{button|switch|leftstick}} and {{button|switch|rightstick}} sticks and the {{button|switch|plus}} and {{button|switch|ZR}} buttons, respectively, making the GameCube Controller have slightly limited controls compared to the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller in some games due to the lack of {{button|switch|minus}} and {{button|switch|ZL}} buttons (as well as the button functionality of {{button|switch|leftstick}} and {{button|switch|rightstick}}, to a lesser extent). The player also cannot return to the home menu, take screenshots, or use the amiibo functionality, due to the lack of {{button|switch|home}} and {{button|switch|capture}} buttons and an NFC touchpoint, respectively. | |||

The Nintendo Switch also uses optional parental controls, being controlled from a smartphone via an application named '''Nintendo Switch Parental Controls''', in order to control and monitor a minor's playing time, as well as restricting certain features of the Nintendo Switch. Nintendo has released a video featuring [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] detailing the functions of the application in multiple languages, with the former monitoring the latter's playing of ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. | The Nintendo Switch also uses optional parental controls, being controlled from a smartphone via an application named '''Nintendo Switch Parental Controls''', in order to control and monitor a minor's playing time, as well as restricting certain features of the Nintendo Switch.
