Nintendo GameCube comes to Nintendo Classics

From launch, Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members playing on Nintendo Switch 2 will gain access to upgrade packs for both The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, allowing them to enjoy the Nintendo Switch 2 Editions of these games at no additional cost****.

Changes to the Nintendo Switch Online app

The name of the app will be changed from Nintendo Switch Online to Nintendo Switch App in late May 2025. It’ll continue to offer voice chat when playing supported titles on a Nintendo Switch console*****, as well as game-specific services for titles such as Splatoon 3 and Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

ZELDA NOTES, a new game-specific service that supports players on their adventures in the Nintendo Switch 2 Editions of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, is also on the way!

On Nintendo Switch 2, you’ll also be able to access your most recent 100 screenshot and video captures via the app, making it easy to share them with others.

Nintendo Switch Online and Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack both continue to grow, enhancing your gaming experience on both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. Follow @NintendoUK on X to stay up to date on the latest additions to benefits like Nintendo Classics, Nintendo Music and more!
