As successful as the first month of the Nintendo Switch 2 launch has been so far, it’s a bit barren when it comes to the games. If you’ve been keeping up with gaming over the last decade, most of the Switch 2’s library so far are just portable versions of experiences you’ve likely already had. This week, however, Nintendo is releasing the perfect antidote for those looking to expand their game library early on in the console’s life.
Subscribers to the Nintendo Switch 2 Online + Expansion Pack will get 2005’s Super Mario Strikers, the next GameCube virtual console re-release, for free. The arcade soccer game is an underrated classic in Mario’s pantheon of fantastic spinoffs. It’s also the perfect addition to the Switch 2’s multiplayer rotation, a much needed release before Nintendo’s next big first party release.
