Exciting news for Nintendo fans! The GameCube might finally be making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2.
Over the years, fans have been asking for classic GameCube titles to return, and while some, like Super Mario Sunshine and Metroid Prime, have already been re-released, many are still missing. The most requested games include The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess.
Now, ahead of the official Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation, new leaks suggest that GameCube games could soon be available on the upcoming console. Popular gaming podcaster NateTheHate has claimed that GameCube will be coming to Nintendo Switch Online (NSO)—it’s just a matter of when, not if. He has previously been right about the arrival of GameBoy and Nintendo 64 games on the service.
If true, the big question is how Nintendo will bring these classic games back. Will they be released as separate remastered versions, like Metroid Prime Remastered, or will they become part of a new subscription tier for NSO?
We might get more details during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation today, which will last about an hour. However, many expect Nintendo to focus on first-party games launching with the console rather than backward compatibility.
Fans will have to wait and see if their favorite GameCube titles are coming back. The presentation starts at 2 PM UK time—stay tuned for updates.
