My goodness, Nintendo has packed in a lot of news this afternoon, hasn’t it.
Along with a closer look at its upcoming Switch 2 console, we also got a peek at some new games coming to the platform, including FromSoftware’s The Duskbloods, which our Matt has described as looking like “Bloodborne meets Sekiro meets Dark Souls, with jetpacks and dinos thrown in” (what’s not to love?).
But, while newness is, of course, very exciting, Nintendo also announced that some classic Nintendo GameCube games are also coming to Switch 2, via Switch Online. So far, the company has revealed that The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, Soulcalibur 2 and F-Zero GX will all be available for those who have Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members, starting on 5th June.
While those three are just the start, more titles will be added to the Switch Online GameCube library as time goes on. Any favourites you want to see popping up?
In addition, Nintendo has announced that a dedicated wireless controller which has been designed after the original GameCube controller will be available for purchase by paid Nintendo Switch Online members. This chap will also be available on the same day as the Switch 2 launches.
You can check out a trailer for all of this GameCube goodness below.
