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 game library will launch on the same day as the Switch 2, June 5th, and will be available as part of the Nintendo Switch Online: Expansion Pack.

The Switch 2 direct wasn’t just about all the shiny new games you’ll play, there was also a much requested update to Nintendo Switch Online focused on some great old ones too! Yes, GameCube games are finally coming to Nintendo’s online games service. The major caveat being that this is exclusive for Nintendo Switch 2.
