GameCube Games are Coming to Nintendo Switch Online, Exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2
[summaraize]
Nintendo is finally bringing GameCube games to its Nintendo Switch Online subscription, and its first wave is bringing some of its greatest hits, though you’ll need a Switch 2 in order to play the games.
Additionally, Nintendo is launching a GameCube Nintendo Switch 2 controller for those who want to relive the console’s glory days.
GameCube Games Are Finally Coming to Nintendo Switch Online
As revealed during today’s Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, the first initial wave of GameCube titles to arrive the same day as the Switch 2 launch are:
- The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
- Soulcalibur 2
- F-Zero GX
Further titles will be added at a later date, with the following ones confirmed so far:
- Super Mario Sunshine
- Super Mario Strikers
- Luigi’s Mansion
- Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
- Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness
- Pokémon Colosseum
- Chibi-Robo!
Additionally, Switch 2 owners will have the opportunity to purchase a GameCube Wireless Controller for the Switch 2. This controller will be fully compatible with GameCube games and have some Switch 2 features added to it. It will be released on the same day as Switch 2’s launch and retail for $64.99.
All I can say is that it’s about time, though sadly, you’ll need a Nintendo Switch 2 to play these. Still, I’m glad to see them get added, and I cannot wait to see what other games get added to the service. My fingers are crossed that we see Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, a remake of the original Metal Gear Solid, added to the service, as it’s one of the few Metal Gear Solid games that has yet to get a re-release of any kind.
Other than that, what GameCube game are you hoping to see eventually become available on the service?
