Switch 2 GameCube controller pre-order date revealed – and you don't need an invite

If you want the Nintendo Switch 2 GameCube controller, here's your chance to grab it

Nintendo Switch 2 will finally bring GameCube games back to the masses on June 5. However, along with a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription, you'll want the updated GameCube controller to get the best experience when revisiting classic titles like The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and F-Zero GX. However, you'll need to meet Nintendo's strict criteria to get a pre-order invite, which includes clocking 50 hours of Switch playtime before April 2, having a one-year active Switch Online membership, and being signed up for marketing emails.
