Nintendo has announced that a selection of classic GameCube titles will soon be accessible on the Nintendo Switch Online service, but this offering is exclusively reserved for the new Nintendo Switch 2. The update comes ahead of the console's official launch.
Individuals who maintain an active Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription will have the opportunity to enjoy three beloved games starting June 5, the day the new system debuts. The featured titles include:
- The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
- SoulCalibur II
- F-Zero GX
It is important to note that these releases are solely intended for the Nintendo Switch 2 and will not be available on the original Nintendo Switch. Additional GameCube titles are set to roll out in future updates. Alongside the game releases, Nintendo is also planning to offer a wireless controller inspired by the GameCube design, featuring its own dedicated C button. This accessory will be available for purchase on Nintendo’s online store.
