The Nintendo Switch 2 is here: all of the launch news
A Reddit user opened up one of Nintendo’s reissued GameCube controllers for Switch Online members and discovered the D-pad internals are redesigned. They note the original controller’s D-pad sat further from the board, requiring a shaft to accommodate the gap. The new model’s main board is closer to the surface, which they claim improves accuracy.
Nintendo’s other surprise upgrade for its $64.99 controller include support for motion controls.
