Nintendo is adding another classic GameCube game to its Nintendo Switch Online service, and it’s coming at a great time! When the Switch 2 launched, Nintendo started offering GameCube games to Switch Online subscribers, but the selection was limited to titles like Super Mario Strikers, Chibi-Robo, and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, among a few others. Now, in just over a week, another beloved GameCube title will be added to the list.
Nintendo announced that Luigi’s Mansion, a beloved GameCube classic from 2001, will be available on Nintendo Switch Online starting next week, October 30th. The game, where Luigi fights ghosts in a haunted mansion, was previously announced for Switch Online earlier this year, but a specific release date wasn’t given. Releasing it just before Halloween is perfect, considering the game’s spooky theme!
Adding the original Luigi’s Mansion to the Nintendo Switch Online service is significant because it means you can now play every game in the series on one platform. The HD remake of Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon and Luigi’s Mansion 3, often considered the best in the series, are also available on Switch. This makes it easier than ever for fans, or newcomers, to experience all the Luigi’s Mansion games.
Just a heads-up: you can’t play GameCube games with the standard Nintendo Switch Online subscription. They’re only available if you upgrade to the more expensive Expansion Pack, which also includes games from Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Advance. Plus, even with the Expansion Pack, you can only play GameCube titles on the newer Switch 2 console. If you’re still using the original Switch, you won’t be able to play games like Luigi’s Mansion.
