If you’re wondering what could be on the way to the Switch Online’s GameCube library in the future, you might want to read on…<\/p>\n

What appears to be official promotional material has been discovered on Walmart’s website for the Switch Online + Expansion Pack ‘Nintendo Classics’ library. Alongside multiple existing releases, there are two GameCube games featured that haven’t even been announced for the service.<\/p>\n

This includes Metroid Prime 2: Echoes<\/a> and Pikmin 2<\/a>, which were both locally released on the GameCube in 2004. Here’s our own screenshot of this advertising material from Walmart’s website. You can see Metroid Prime 2 on the first row, and Pikmin 2 is on the second row.<\/p>\n

Nintendo has accidentally leaked upcoming NSO games<\/a> in the past, so it wouldn’t necessarily be a surprise if this did lead to the eventual release of these titles on Switch 2’s GameCube service. Of course, there’s always a chance this could be some sort of blunder on Walmart’s end.<\/p>\n

There are currently eight titles available for the Switch 2’s GameCube library, with three others confirmed to be on the way. These upcoming releases include Pok\u00e9mon Colosseum<\/a>, Pok\u00e9mon XD: Gale of Darkness<\/a> and Super Mario Sunshine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Do you think we could see these games added to the GameCube library at some point? What other titles would you like to see join this service? Tell us below.<\/p>\n
