Nintendo is releasing a GameCube controller

When are GameCube games coming to Switch 2?

GameCube games will be available on Nintendo Switch 2 from its launch date on 5th June 2025.

Since Nintendo first released NES and SNES games via Nintendo Switch Online, players have been hoping that games from its famous purple box would join them.

And while they didn't make it in time for the original Switch, we are finally getting our hands on some ports with the Switch 2.

Which GameCube games are confirmed for Switch 2?

At the moment, there are only three games confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2. These are:

• The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

• Soul Calibur 2

• F-Zero GX

While these are the only games confirmed so far, there will undoubtedly be more added in the future, though maybe not for the Switch 2's launch.

Other titles we would expect to see down the line include The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 1 and 2, and Pokémon XD and Colosseum.
