You'll Be Able To Play GameCube Games On The Nintendo Switch 2

Nintendo almost certainly has the richest library of games from any developer or publisher. Stretching back over 40 years now, the company's back catalog includes Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, and dozens more of gaming's biggest franchises.

all i could think about, was that modders hopefully bring the emulator to pc haha

darthv7264d ago

Im sold... now i wont have to deal with emudeck and dolphin on my steam deck. its always getting out of whack with each update.

Cacabunga64d ago

I don’t get it why it’s not WW HD

Chard64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

I like the original cel shading but would it kill them to implement a widescreen hack?

Tacoboto64d ago

Super Mario Sunshine will be another interesting one for those new to the Switch ecosystem.

I do hope WW and TP HD return as 4K60fpsHDR ports in time. Which is crazy to say that there's actual Nintendo hardware capable of that finally.

Redgrave64d ago

Classic Nintendo decision making

Ignore the calls for Switch ports of WW HD and TP HD for the entire generation, porting almost everything else

Give us the GameCube originals instead in the new generation but behind a paywall

lukasmain64d ago

I wonder how many they will start with? Then obviously they will only roll out like 2 games a month onwards

gold_drake64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

probably with the ones we saw gameplay of. so a handful

Muigi64d ago

They gotta add Sonic Adventure 2 Battle

Neonridr64d ago

hopefully Rogue Leader and Rebel Strike!

darthv7264d ago

^^man, I kept hoping things would change and that Rogue Squadron trilogy that was originally in development for the Wii would get a new lease on life for Switch.

Good-Smurf64d ago

WOW I can do that right now and then some with Dolphin on PC, I also don't have to wait for Nintendo to drip feed the games overtime and tethered to subscription fees too.

darthv7264d ago

...same here on my steam deck, but every update to either the SD or emudeck always breaks the various emulators so im tired of having to go back in and fix them.

andy8564d ago (Edited 64d ago )

Congrats. I could pirate games for free if I wanted which is what you're doing. I don't

Shiore2u64d ago

Paying to access something you probably have already owned for two decades now. Very impressive.

BlackCountryBob64d ago

Great that those games will be available, but assuming will still locked behind the tiered online subscription rather than allowing gamers to buy what games interest them outright, which kinda sucks. Hope I’m wrong though

I love Nintendos love of their history and back catalogue, I hate that they use gamers love of that back catalogue of games to prop up an otherwise ropey subscription offering.

Pergele64d ago

It's not expensive. You can get it for like 10$ a year if you find someone who can share a family plan with you.

BlackCountryBob64d ago

That’s true, but I and I think many others, would rather drop £10-£20 to buy Ocarina of Time once and own it on that system in perpetuity instead of subscription.

I take long cruises for holidays, I don’t buy the WiFi, so after 7 days I couldn’t use anything Switch online subscription based as the system has to assume my sub expired

All I want for Pokémon's birthday is Pokémon Ranger on the Switch 2

The Switch 2’s release and Pokémon’s 30th anniversary could create the perfect storm for a Pokémon Ranger revival after 15 years of silence.

nice improvement to the clarity. Really makes everything look less blurry, especially in the distance.

really hope we see more free improvements like this on Switch 1 games.

Jin_Sakai14h ago

First game I played on Switch 2. Much sharper and cleaner image compared to the original.

Snookies1213h ago

A lot of games that have no official Switch 2 update already run WAY better just from the hardware itself. It's fantastic getting to play all these games in a much better state. So glad I hardly played any of my Switch collection over the years, lol. This will make experiencing them for the first time so much better.

Levii_9213h ago

A nice resolution upgrade to one of my fav games but i’m still not buying the Switch “2”

darthv7213h ago(Edited 13h ago)

This and Mario/Bowser are ones I will pop in later. I hope other devs offer some patches, like xenon racer on SW1 is 30fps and it really is better at 60.

Goodguy0112h ago(Edited 12h ago)

Great it was 60 frames on switch 1 though. Definitely sacrificed resolution however.

Neonridr11h ago

I mean it targeted 60 on the Switch 1, but it wasn't always solid.

GhostScholar11h ago

I’ll never know why fans let Nintendo get away with not competing graphically and never putting their games on sale.

Chard8h ago

Unfortunately the games are fun. They’ve got us by the balls

GhostScholar6h ago

I’m a fan of their exclusives as well but if the hardware had the same capabilities as the x and ps5 and I could have all the third party stuff plus the Nintendo exclusives it would be my main console
