Rumour: Switch Online GameCube Releases Might Have Been Leaked

If you’re wondering what might be on the way to the Switch Online’s GameCube library, you might want to read on…

What appears to be official promotional material has been discovered on Walmart’s website for the Switch Online + Expansion Pack ‘Nintendo Classics’ library. Alongside multiple existing releases, there are two GameCube games featured that haven’t even been announced for the service.

This includes Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Pikmin 2, which were both released on the GameCube locally in 2004. Here’s our own screenshot of this advertising material from Walmart’s website:

Nintendo has accidentally leaked upcoming NSO games in the past, so it wouldn’t necessarily be surprise if this did lead to the eventual release of these games on the Switch 2’s GameCube service. Of course, there’s always a chance this could be some sort of blunder on Walmart’s end.

There are currently eight titles available for the Switch 2’s GameCube library, with three others confirmed to be on the way. These games include Pokémon Colosseum, Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness and Super Mario Sunshine.
