Starting this month, Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass members can play games initially launched on the GameCube, such as “The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker”, “Soulcalibur II”, and “F-Zero GX”. Although these titles form a relatively small collection compared to other Nintendo Classic apps, they are highly esteemed. Eager fans are now curious about which games will be added next, and the company has recently disclosed information regarding the forthcoming addition, including its expected release date.
Hey there, fellow gamers! I’m excited to share some news about a classic title that’s now available on the Nintendo Classics app – it’s none other than the soccer-themed spin-off, “Super Mario Strikers”! Released way back in 2005, this was the debut of the series, developed by Next Level Games, who later gained fame for their work on the Luigi’s Mansion sequels.
This game has been highly praised over the years, and now’s your chance to find out why! The game will be accessible starting July 3rd, so mark your calendars! To get a sneak peek, check out the Nintendo Switch Online trailer for the game below. Enjoy the nostalgia trip!
It’s not entirely unexpected that Super Mario Strikers is being added to the Nintendo Classics app for GameCube, given that it was among the games hinted at during April’s Nintendo Switch 2 presentation. Alongside it, titles like Pokemon Colosseum, Super Mario Sunshine, and Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance were also revealed as upcoming additions. Many of these games have not been re-released on a later Nintendo platform, so this addition should provide a cost-effective way for players to enjoy them again.
It’s important to mention that only individuals with a Nintendo Switch 2 can access the GameCube games offered through the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. This is because those games are exclusive to the newer system, even if you have a higher-tier subscription. However, it’s worth noting that there are indeed several classic and not-so-classic GameCube titles available on the Switch, thanks to ports and remasters. The list of these games is quite extensive, and many of them likely won’t be released through the Nintendo Classics app since they include third-party games like “Tales of Symphonia” and “Star Wars: Bounty Hunter.
Throughout its market tenure, the GameCube didn’t manage to attract a massive user base. It wasn’t a complete disaster like the Wii U, but it also didn’t become a major success. Over time, however, it has earned more respect from gamers due to its impressive library of games. Here’s hoping that this appreciation persists with the release of the Nintendo Classics app!
