Good news Switch 2 GameCube lovers! Nintendo has announced that Super Mario Strikers is coming to the Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) service, very soon.
Originally released in 2005 on the Nintendo GameCube, it is a Super Mario take on five-a-side football (soccer). You get to use power-ups and classic Mario items (such as shells, banana skins) to get in the way of your opponents. You also get to employ the ‘Super Strike’ which is a charged up and super powerful shot on goal. So powerful that it counts as two goals, if successfully scored!
Super Mario Strikers will be added to Nintendo Switch Online on 3 July 2025. It is only available on Switch 2, and you need the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pak tier of the service.

Super Mario Strikers joins the small but growing list of Nintendo GameCube titles that are being made available for Switch 2 NSO owners. It joins:
