They already have a game cube controller that will backward compatible. So no, joycons just for Smash is dumb. Let's be real, you can't really play Smash Brothers in the portable configuration. It's a multiplayer game. Couch co-op is negated in the portable scenario. Don't get me wrong, people will play portable, but do we really see a big enough marketplace for people that want joycons with game cube button locations to warrant Nintendo creating this? If the 3rd party controller manufacturers start making a profitable one, then Nintendo will entertain the idea. But they aren't going to make that investment without the market data that would pay for the tooling and design costs for a different product.
@@rolando_j_ I think GameCube joycons would sell really well. Wouldn’t cost that much since they already have molds for both GameCube and Joycons. Esp if Nintendo starts to do GameCube releases on Switch online. Online Smash via Handheld would be really cool.
@@joshuasommer6548 missed opportunity for sure if Nintendo doesn’t do it. Would be an amazing release with a new Smash game, GameCube Controllers, and GameCube Joycons.

They wont be. Its Nintendo we're talking about. They might re-release gamecube controllers again for the switch 2, but thats about it.
