Nintendo has announced that the first post-launch Nintendo Switch 2 GameCube game is coming for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members on July 3rd.

The game is Super Mario Strikers, which is one of the most beloved GameCube games and one that I’ve been personally keen for. I got to play it at the Nintendo Switch 2 event in New York City, and it looks and runs great on the Switch 2 in widescreen with enhanced graphics.

This will bring the current batch of GameCube games available to four (Zelda: Wind Waker, F-Zero GC and Soul Calibur II), but we also know that the below games are coming in the near future as well:

Super Mario Sunshine

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance

Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness

Chibi Robo

Luigi’s Mansion

Pokemon Colosseum

In terms of when these other games will come, I predict Nintendo might drop one or two games each month, as it does with the other platforms.

Here’s how Nintendo describe Super Mario Strikers:

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!
