You’ll be able to play classic GameCube games on Nintendo Switch 2 the same day the console launches on June 5. That’s a sentence that still doesn’t feel quite real to me, but as someone who grew up playing the boxy purple wonder,

The GameCube era was full of pure magic games. It was a time when Nintendo was wildly creative (and a little bit weird, too). While the Switch Online service has slowly been drip-feeding us retro gems,

The GameCube titles coming to Switch 2 include Wind Waker, Soulcalibur 2, and F-Zero GX with online play. As part of the Switch 2 Direct, Nintendo has announced that GameCube games will come to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack for the first time--and they'll be exclusive to the Switch 2.
