>I'm not sure why they don't lean in harder and embrace the design as the standard Nintendo controller.
I hope not; I've used it and a Switch Pro Controller and I much prefer the pro controller.

That doesn't happen for any other game, but there is just so much muscle memory for that specific game.
Also I still have a wavebird that is alive and kicking, shame it lacks rumble.
If you were to ask me whether I thought this was a good design concept, having never played any games on a Gamecube>>>Switch I'd say no, that seems wasteful and a cash grab on peripherals.
But I love it. Give me more ergonomic plastic things with buttons and games that use them.
The octagon gate on the GC controller is advantagous for Smash and other games that benefit from precise directional inputs... It's to the point where there are Pro Controller mods to add an octagon gate. The Pro Controller analog seems to wear out faster than that of the GC controller and it's a tricky replacement to perform (on an already expensive controller).
That's just because Nintendo ruined the design of their newer analogue sticks, though.
For shield drops you take it a step further and notch the gate.
Octagon gate also provides good reference point for MSDI.
