<p>If you’re one of the countless <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/super_smash_bros_ultimate"><strong>Super Smash Bros. Ultimate</strong></a> fans who insist on playing with a traditional GameCube controller (or like using one, at least) then you might want to keep an eye on this little project.</p>
<p>eSports team Panda Global has revealed that it will soon be starting a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for an all-in-one GameCube adapter, charging station, and portable stand for the Nintendo Switch called the ‘Ultimate GameCube Adapter’. The Kickstarter is expected to launch in mid-January, with backer pledges being set at $45.</p>

<p>Stand + adapter in one. Playing your Switch on the go with your GC controller has never been easier.</p>
<p>Roughly $45 USD<br />Ships International<br />Kickstarter in January</p>

<p>As you can see, the setup is designed to make on-the-go GameCube controller play a much easier and more convenient option. An FAQ posted on Panda Global’s <a class="external" href="https://panda.gg/pages/adapter">website</a> (where you can also register your interest to receive a Kickstarter discount) assures fans that the accessory will not ‘brick’ your Switch, noting that the product “works the same way as Nintendo’s GameCube adapter”.</p>
