The biggest direct event of Nintendo Nintendo Switch 2 was full of game releases, but forget about Mario de Mario KartTHE NEW OF FROMSOFTWARE The anhuskbloods And that sweet five seconds of Silksong footage for a minute and join me to celebrate the two largest real ads: Colosse Pokémon and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness They are reaching the new console (along with other Gamecube games).
With limited opportunities to capture and train your Pokémon Companions who add a real challenge compared to the central series, combined with incredible music and a unique plot, these spin -offs are my favorites in everything Pokémon series.
And after missing my copy of NCO OF THE DARK (Which is very expensive to replace in the secondary market) I am more than excited to be able to reproduce both titles soon.

Attend
They are launched through a new incorporation of Gamecube into the Nintendo Switch Online +Expansion Package. This enlarged version of the online subscription includes access to DLC and exclusive libraries of classical console games (including N64 and Gameboy Advance) for $ 49.99 / £ 34.99 / AU $ 59.95 per year.
The only inconvenience of Pokémon Fans is that, although it has been confirmed that these two best spin-offs in their class will be launched in the service at some point, they will not be available at the launch of the new console.
Instead, Zelda’s legend: Wind Waker, Soul Caliber 2, and F-Cero GX It will be the first trio of Gamecube titles to reach the service on the release date of Switch 2.
One thing to keep in mind is that it seems that Nintendo Switch Players original with a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack will not be able to access these Gamecube titles. Instead, Gamecube’s expansion will be exclusive to the last Nintendo console.
Complete the Gamecube configuration
To capture Gamecube’s authentic experience, Nintendo announced that it will launch a Gamecube wireless controller (complete with the new button c) by £ 58.99 (probably around $ 75 based on exchange rates; Nintendo has not yet confirmed a price of the United States).
It will only be available through the online store of Mynintendo and, to do the most frustrating things, you can only book one if you are an online member of Nintendo Switch, and initially “only the guests will be offered to book a Nintendo Switch 2” console according to the Mynintendo UK store.
Presumably, this is a movement to prevent students from absorbing the entire stock before any other person can react, so prepare to jump through some hoops if you are eager to obtain this Switch 2 Gamecube accessory.
