When Nintendo announced that it was adding GameCube games to its (inexplicably Switch 2-only) Nintendo Switch Online offering, people were understandably excited about the likes of Super Mario Sunshine and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker joining the service.

With a balance between modernizations and authenticity, the GameCube controller for the Switch 2 should be your go-to for any Switch Online games that drop moving forward.

The Nintendo Switch 2 GameCube game library - formally known as ‘Nintendo GameCube - Nintendo Classics’, because Nintendo is so good at naming things - arrived on June 5 alongside the launch of the new console.

The nature of the Switch 2 GameCube controller and its versatility make me hope we could eventually see more NSO peripherals.

Nintendo has announced that Chibi-Robo will be the latest GameCube game to come to the Nintendo Switch 2's classic library as part of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription. The rare and expensive title will be added to Switch Online's GameCube library on Thursday, August 21, 2025, bringing the collection to five games.
