Nintendo is bringing the Super Mario Strikers GameCube game to the Switch 2 next week. On 3 July, Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion subscribers will be able to download the classic game through the GameCube app. It should be live from 3 July.
This is the first new addition to the GameCube app since the Nintendo Switch 2 console launched on 5 June. At launch, the app included Soulcalibur 2, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, and F-Zero GX.
Nintendo plans on adding even more games to the service in the coming months. New additions will include Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness and Super Mario Sunshine.
Super Mario Strikers is one of the better sports games in the Mario series. While it was recently “remade” for the original Switch console in the form of Mario Strikers: Battle League, the GameCube version was where the series made its debut.
Mario and friends clash in this extreme soccer game originally released for the Nintendo GameCube™ system in 2005. Matches unfold with white-hot speed, intensity, and familiar items, like shells and mushrooms, to give you a boost in crushing your opponent. But the real key to winning is the Super Strike, a powerful shot that can net you two points at once! Jump right in with simple controls, hone your techniques, and hit the pitch with Mario and his friends! Available exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2 for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members!
