Over the last few months there were a few major updates to the Nintendo Switch Online game collections that NSO subscribers were hoping for. One wild theory was that the “C” button would allow players to Cast their game to the TV, turning the handheld and the TV into the two screens of the Nintendo DS. This turned out not to be the case, as we now know that it’s the Game Chat button. Perhaps the simpler theory, and the one that turned out to be true, was that Nintendo would release a Nintendo GameCube classics collection. This collection arrives on the same day as the new console, June 5th.
Nintendo announces the launch of the GameCube collection for NSO subscribers
This collection of classic Nintendo GameCube games won’t be available to just anyone. Not only will s need to have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, but they will also need to subscribe to the second tier, Expansion Pack. This is where s will find other benefits like free DLC for major games like Animal Crossing: New Horizons, as well as other classic collections like the GameBoy Advance and the Nintendo 64 collections.
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. This classic cartoon-style, cel-shaded entry in the legendary series has had an HD port to the Wii U, but this will be the first time it arrives on the Switch.
Super Smash Bros. Melee so far.
Alongside this announcement, Nintendo shared a new GameCube controller that works with the new console. It will be wireless, including the new Game Chat button, and presumably a microphone or audio jack as well. The controller will be available on the My Nintendo Store on June 5th, the same day as the Nintendo Switch 2 launch, and will only be available to Nintendo Switch Online .
