The Nintendo Switch 2 isn’t all about the future. It’s also bringing some special love for the GameCube, with a big addition to Nintendo Switch Online.
GameCube Classics are coming to the Expansion Pass for NSO, as an exclusive for the Switch 2, including games like Super Mario Sunshine, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, Soul Calibur 2, F-Zero GX, Luigi’s Mansion, and a lot more.

The list of games will be added to and expand over time, as has been the case for other classics like the GameBoy, GameBoy Advance, Nintendo, and Super Nintendo, so this is a win and big draw to add more s😼ubscribers to the premium online subscription.
In case you’re really feeling super nostalgic, the classic GameCube controller is also making a comeback, with full wireless support to be used on the Switch 2 for these classic games. Welcome back, Wavebird.
Nintendo did not detail potential price changes for the service, so it may be the same as it is now, but more information is expected leading up to the console’s launch on June 5.
