Hey, Smash Bros. fans: This 2DS works with a GameCube controller

Someone actually recently asked me what my favorite controller ever was. Without thinking, I said the GameCube’s. I then immediately received a funny look.

OK, the GameCube controller might not win any beauty pageants, but it’s incredibly functional and comfortable, something every Smash Bros. fan can attest to (unless you’re one of those weirdos who likes the Nintendo 64 version best). So when I saw that someone was able to mod one to work with Nintendo’s 2DS portable system, I kind of freaked out.
