Just a month after the launch of the Switch 2, Nintendo has added a new game to the Expansion Pack Gamecube library.
Joining the likes of Wind Waker and F-Zero GX, Super Mario Strikers aka Mario Smash Football is out now for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers.
The news was announced by Nintendo on X, alongside gameplay footage of the cult classic football game.
“Go for goal on Nintendo Switch 2!” reads a Nintendo post. “The Nintendo GameCube classic Mario Smash Football is available now with Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.”
Mario Smash Football made its Nintendo Gamecube debut all the way back in 2005. Featuring a number of iconic Nintendo characters, the game features 5-v-5 arcade-style action, complete with power-ups and special abilities.
Like most Mario Sports games, it features a colourful art style and is easy to pick up and play, making it ideal for multiplayer.
Unfortunately, there’s no way to purchase the game individually, as it’s only available with a Switch Online subscription.
As a reminder, Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack costs £34.99 for an annual membership, or £59.99 as part of a Family membership.
As part of the subscription, members can play Gamecube titles such as Wind Waker, F-Zero GX and Soulcalibur 2.
That’s on top of N64 titles like Super Mario 64, Star Fox 64 and Sin and Punishment on N64, as well as Zelda Ocarina of Time and Mario Tennis.
SEGA Mega Drive games are also playable with the Expansion Pack tier, alongside Game Boy Advance titles.
Mega Drive games include well known classics like Sonic the Hedgehog, Streets of Rage 2 and Gunstar Heroes, as well as cult favourites such as Crusader of Centy (Soleil), Musha, Pulseman and Alisia Dragoon.
Then there are the Game Boy Advance releases, which include everything from Zelda: The Minish Cap and Metroid Fusion, to Kuru Kuru Kururin and the Japanese version of F-Zero Climax.
