That's not my point. I know I'm an outlier. I'm not arguing that the Wii Remote is better than the GameCube remote, or that the Wii Remote should be supported by the Switch. What I was trying to say is that no matter what controller was my favorite, be it a popular or unpopular choice, assuming it's outdated, I would never expect Nintendo to continue to support it for the sake of one single game. I might be upset that I have to move on to a new controller (though, in his case, I may not be, because I think I like the Joy-Cons better than the Wii Remote), but I would deal with it.
And for the reasons we have stated previously, it's not surprising to see the GCN controller still working.
