Relive your Melee days: Brook’s new Switch dock with GameCube ports

Brook, an accessory company specializing in making old controllers work on newer hardware, is putting out a dock for the Nintendo Switch that lets you use your old GameCube controllers.

The device, which launches in June 2020, has two GameCube controller ports on the front along with a couple of USB inputs. This allows the nostalgic among us to use our nearly 20-year-old GameCube controllers to play Super Smash Bros. Ultimate or any other Switch game. Along with the ports, the GameCube-shaped dock is fully functional, allowing the Switch to charge while you play it, and allows up to two Bluetooth headsets.

According to a hands-on from Nintendo Life, the input lag is negligible, but some odd design choices, like the start button being the home button, keep it from being a must-have device.
