A Nintendo Direct presentation set to fully unveil the upcoming Switch 2 is right around the corner, and potential details regarding what Nintendo could announce at the event are continuing to come in at a steady clip.
Leaker NateTheHate has, for instance, claimed that Nintendo is set to add GameCube games to the Nintendo Switch Online library in the not-too-distant future. Speaking during a recent episode of his podcast, the leaker stated that Nintendo will begin adding GameCube titles to the subscription service at some point within the Nintendo Switch 2’s launch year.
Interestingly, the leaker suggests that GameCube games could also be available to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers on the Switch 1, not just on the upcoming next-gen console. What isn’t mentioned what its pricing structure will be. Presumably, it will be offered with a new and separate tier, similar to what Nintendo has done in the past with N64, Genesis, and Game Boy Advance titles, which are available only with Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.
The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct will be roughly an hour long. Nintendo will also showcase new gameplay footage for several titles on Treehouse: Live events scheduled for April 3 and April 4.
