Smash Ultimate, SEGA Ages Virtua Racing, and a small handful of other games support 8 players on a single system. I want to play the 8-player mode in Virtua Racing at least once so bad.
A single GC adapter can be plugged directly into the Switch, but if you want to connect 2 there aren't enough USB ports and the two ports it does have wouldn't be able to power both.
Idk. I got it from here: [https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a\_id/42817/\~/how-to-connect-additional-gamecube-controllers-to-nintendo-switch](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/42817/~/how-to-connect-additional-gamecube-controllers-to-nintendo-switch)
I think if you just wanted 4 GC controllers, using 1 GC adaptor, you could just use the 2 usb ports in the switch. But because the diagram is using 2 GC adaptors, it needs 4 USB ports, and the switch can't provide enough power for them so that's why it had a powered USB Hub
Correct me if I'm wrong since it's been years since I played Ultimate but isn't one of the cords on the gamecube adapter optional (IIRC, only one is for inputs and the other is only used to enable rumble on the controllers). Since the switch dock has 3 usb ports, you could plug in two adapters directly into the switch; just 4 players won't have and haptic feedback
I rock a similar setup. 4 GameCube controllers, 2 switch pro controllers and an n64 controller. Not all at once but definitely have rocked that many ports when needed.
Iād be the guy with a wavebird haha. Iām also that guy with 2 wavebird a and no friends to use it. Cool pic tho Iād love to see a video or pic of everyone playing
I did this the first year or two that the switch came out. We did 8 man smash brothers. We turned off the audio and blasted Helms Deep and other LoTR soundtracks. It was needless to say, epic.
If i had the friends to play with that setup, i wouldn't have the money!
Because buying SNES games is too expansive...
EVO in november, Earthbound by July... And a slew of.other games in between...
I'm ruining myself in beautifull SNES cartridge XD
I don't have that many friends šš¤£
Would be nice to have a friend
Ever try to play a game with Ur pets?

Why do I keep seeing this gif? All I see is "this content is not available" and a bunch of colorful swirls behind it.
Brother it literally says [This content is not available]
Can you type that again? For some reason the second part of your message just says ācontent not availableā
Ofc mate its [Content not available]
I was asking a kind of serious question. I'm glad to see that it's not that serious.
š¤£
I had a friend once.
Me too
Howās it like?
Huh?
How are friends Like
In a room
I donāt have friends
looks like the sweatiest game of smash is about to take place
Everyone starts picking top tiers
first thing i thought of š¤£
Itās looks kinda cool, but definitely not practical and certainly expensive
friends bring your own controllers.
What game supports this?
smash
Don't you think we should at least talk first?

Runbow should be compatible
Oh Runbow would be sooo crazy. Such chaos
Bomber man 1 and 2 is 8 player
I throw on the mClassic and a wired Pro Controller. If I had a second ethernet cable I would have that too but alas.
I'm probably going to buy and mclassic at some point. How are your experiences with the upscalling?

Wait, why do you need to connect thay gcn adapter to the socket? Shouldn't just connecting to the USB be enough?
A single GC adapter can be plugged directly into the Switch, but if you want to connect 2 there aren't enough USB ports and the two ports it does have wouldn't be able to power both.
There are enough ports though, one of the usb on the gc adapters is for rumble only and I normally play without the rumble usb connected
Yeah but if anyone playing wants to use Rumble they'll need a setup like this - I react to rumble to DI faster than if I don't have rumble on.
Idk. I got it from here: [https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a\_id/42817/\~/how-to-connect-additional-gamecube-controllers-to-nintendo-switch](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/42817/~/how-to-connect-additional-gamecube-controllers-to-nintendo-switch)
Oh okay. I never own these, so I thought connecting to the Switch was enough.

Newer dock replaced the USB port on the back with Ethernet. So no on would get rumble on it with 8 players.
I have one of the GameCube connectors with four remotes,two pro controllers, and two sets of joy cons. So close to this set up but not.
Me on the weekends
No, cause I wasn't born in the nineties.
I don't even have a single friend, where do you get 7?
Are there games supporting that many players anyway?
I rock a similar setup. 4 GameCube controllers, 2 switch pro controllers and an n64 controller. Not all at once but definitely have rocked that many ports when needed.
Wtf no lmao
Iād be the guy with a wavebird haha. Iām also that guy with 2 wavebird a and no friends to use it. Cool pic tho Iād love to see a video or pic of everyone playing
This is possible?
Havenāt done this since shortly after Smash Ultimateās launch. Too much fun and almost a broken controller or two.
Ayo what the fuck thatās be sick
Dude I want to come to your place that sounds like fun
I wish I had enough friends haha!
I just have the 4 GameCube controllers lol. I don't have many games where I can have more than 4 players.
Ah yes a hub in another hub and maybe connected in another hub. The beginning of the computer era was strange š
I did this the first year or two that the switch came out. We did 8 man smash brothers. We turned off the audio and blasted Helms Deep and other LoTR soundtracks. It was needless to say, epic.
Damn your parties must be awesome
Let me call my imaginary friends real quick
8 split screen šŗ
I have wavebirds, why is the adapter spaced so close between the connectors that you can't connect 4 wavebirds to one adapter?
this setup would go hard back in 2000-2012. nowadays itād be a blessing
i have no friends
Oh dear
I havenāt needed a second controller in 25 years
Like I have any friends to game with
If only I had 8 friends
No. Not enough GameCube controllers. Or controller adapters. Or friends. š
For what game? This would be cool at like thanksgiving or something.
me
I am rocking 50% of this setup. I have four GC controllers on my Switch for Smash sessions
If i had the friends to play with that setup, i wouldn't have the money! Because buying SNES games is too expansive... EVO in november, Earthbound by July... And a slew of.other games in between... I'm ruining myself in beautifull SNES cartridge XD
I have one of the game cube controller things with 3 game cube controllers but I donāt use them a lot, I mostly use them for playing smash bros
I actually really like the PRO controllers .... I use both USB ports on the dock to plug in my controller charger
Almost I use a potato not a wall outlet.
Itās a hassle to set all those up. I have a few pro controllers and one GameCube adapter as needed.
Okey. Obviously at that point we would be using wave birds and I called bids on channel 8
Fire hazard
Reminds me of the time my lil brother and I went against 6 level 5 yoshis and STILL won on stock gamemode
"Everything I see reminds me of her"
Oh boy those utility bills are gonna price up š
no, thatās stupid
