Which GameCube games are coming to Switch 2?
Pokémon Colosseum
Nintendo lists Pokémon Colosseum under “Upcoming games,” confirming it for Nintendo GameCube – Nintendo Classics. The current page gives no release date, so there is no confirmed launch window to report. It is not part of the page’s included-games list.

Star Fox Adventures
Star Fox Adventures is already included, not merely upcoming. Nintendo says the original GameCube game was released in 2002. Its September 2026 announcement said it was joining the Classics library, and the current product page now lists it among the included titles. Nintendo Singapore’s September 16, 2026 update gives the original release-year context; Nintendo’s September 9, 2026 Direct announcement announced its addition.
How do you play GameCube games on Switch 2?
These games are accessed through the Nintendo GameCube – Nintendo Classics app, which Nintendo says is exclusive to Switch 2. A paid Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership is required; the base Nintendo Switch Online membership alone does not meet that requirement. Nintendo’s launch announcement explains the Switch 2 and Expansion Pack requirements in its June 6, 2025 service overview.
Rank #2
- Blast off on a high-octane adventure to save a star system from invasion
- Tear through space, soar across planets, and shoot loads of foes out of the sky at every step of the way
- A cinematic take on the Star Fox 64 story, featuring fully voiced dialogue, an epic orchestral soundtrack, and a complete visual overhaul for the Nintendo Switch 2 system
- Enter first-person mode to experience the action from inside the cockpit, and even use mouse controls to fly
- Invite a second player* to join you as a gunner using Nintendo Switch 2 mouse controls
Nintendo lists a 13 GB file size for the app, not for each individual game. The app supports TV, tabletop, and handheld modes. Check Nintendo’s service terms for your country, since availability and online features may differ by region.
What features do the Switch 2 versions include?
Nintendo describes the games as having clearer image quality and higher resolution than the original versions, and says the service supports saving at any time. Local multiplayer, local wireless, and online play for up to four players are available in compatible games; those features are not stated to apply to every title.
Rank #3
- Explore a vast underground world—by smashing your way through it!
- A brand-new 3D platforming action adventure starring Donkey Kong and Pauline
- Bash through just about anything in groundbreaking exploration! Crash through walls and carve tunnels—the more you smash, the more areas open up to you
- Pair up with Pauline to use Bananza Transformations: smash through obstacles with the raw strength of Kong form, gallop with incredible speed as a Zebra, and more
- Team up with a friend in two-player co-op as Donkey Kong and Pauline! Blast foes and terrain alike with Pauline’s voice as you explore together
For selected titles, Nintendo offers a choice between North American and European versions with localized text. That option is title-dependent, not a universal setting for the entire library. See the Nintendo Australia product page for its current feature and catalogue details.
Independent reader supportYour contribution helps us test, update, and keep practical guides available for everyone.Is the GameCube controller required?
No. Nintendo’s GameCube controller is an optional wireless accessory for Nintendo Switch Online members; it is not a requirement for accessing or playing the Classics library. Nintendo says the controller includes a C Button for GameChat. Nintendo Australia’s controller page has the accessory details.
