AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Nintendo Switch Online currently has only one more GameCube classic officially confirmed for the service, with fans awaiting the arrival of Pokemon Colosseum.
As Nintendo continues rolling out legacy titles for its subscription tiers, subscribers are reaching the end of the current roadmap. According to reporting by Game Rant, Nintendo Switch Online currently has just one more GameCube classic officially confirmed for the service. Following recent drops like Super Mario Sunshine, the remaining slate leaves fans wondering what is coming next for the retro catalog, especially for players utilizing the Expansion Pack perks on current hardware.
The sole remaining confirmed title is Pokemon Colosseum, though it has not yet arrived on the platform. Interestingly, its predecessor, Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness, landed on the service first. Industry rumors suggest that Pokemon Colosseum might finally drop around October, aligning with potential releases for the Gen 3 Game Boy Advance titles like Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald.
This timing makes strategic sense given the historical hardware connection between the GameCube titles and the Game Boy Advance cartridges, allowing players to recreate classic trading and battling loops. Nintendo has a history of clustering these nostalgic ecosystem drops to drive holiday engagement and subscription renewals, particularly when paired with heavy hitters like the rumored Ocarina of Time remake. While nothing is officially dated yet, the impending arrival of the last confirmed title means Nintendo will likely announce a fresh wave of retro classics soon.
