The GameCube is joined by the existing Console Virtualizations and Play Classics (which the group now calls “Nintendo Classics”), all of which have also arrived in Switch 2. However, GameCube titles are only available on Switch 2, and on Switch 1, they will not start with the subscription.

The introductory trailer also reveals some games that can be played on the Switch 2 from day 1. Nintendo highlights the titles’ “clearer textures” and “higher resolution” than the original versions. Some titles, such as F-Zero GX, also support local and online multiplayer.
