Obviously not....The controller was brought back specifically for Smash..

So if it is the same controller then that mean it is the same game as well?

That makes a whole lot of sense.

I can use my 2001 GameCube controllers for the smash ultimate, does that mean ultimate is a port of melee???? cmon man lets use some common sense here.

Yup it makes no sense logically I just love busting on Nintendo 😁

Well I see new N64,NES,SNES controllers in game shops now. Seems none of them will die.

And for good reason too. It's truly the only way to experience competitive smash. Even casual smash isn't the same without a gamecube controller. And it's pretty damn durable too. My friends have had theirs for almost 12+ years, and they still work awesome. They're indestructable.

Until switch they never had acceptable controls since gc. So makes sense. I don't think smashes button layout works well outside n64 and gc controls. A button and b button placement going back to SNES layout threw the smash layout into limbo. They should stick with a layout similar to gc Atleast. Like Sony stays similar to dual shock.
