Hey, classic game fans! Nintendo GameCube™ – Nintendo Classics is now available exclusively for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership with the Nintendo Switch™ 2 system. Three classic games have been added, and more will be released in the future—so without further ado, let’s get to it.

Nintendo GameCube – Nintendo Classics

The Legend of Zelda™: The Wind Waker™

An evil wind is rising...

When a monstrous bird kidnaps his sister Aryll, Link must set off on the seafaring adventure of a lifetime to save her. Using the magical Wind Waker conductor's baton to control the winds and sail across the Great Sea, Link will face formidable foes, meet unforgettable characters, and delve into mysterious dungeons. Enter the immersive world of this cel-shaded classic originally released for the Nintendo GameCube™ system in North America in 2003, and help Link rescue his sister!

F-Zero™ GX

Zoom through circuits of fast-paced hovering action aboard the most technologically advanced machines around in this title originally released for the Nintendo GameCube™ system in 2003. Race for glory in the F-ZERO Grand Prix, known as the fastest and most extreme race in the universe, or take on the role of Captain Falcon in a series-first Story mode. You can even modify or create machines of your own design with Customize mode, adding yet another way to play!

SOULCALIBUR II

A tale of souls and swords, eternally retold...

Draw your weapon and engage in one-on-one combat against other seekers of the demonic sword Soul Edge in this fighting title released for the Nintendo GameCube™ system in 2003. Skillfully utilize four attack attributes—high-level, mid-level, low-level, and special mid-level—and techniques like Throw, Guard Impact, and Soul Charge to achieve victory. The tripartite relationship between vertical strikes, horizontal strikes, and 8 Way Run gives even more opportunities to deepen your strategy. Complete battles and collect weapons as you adventure throughout the world in Weapon Master mode. The weapons you collect can even be used in Extra mode, which will appear on the Mode Select screen if certain conditions are met.
