Nintendo Announces Super Mario Sunshine Release on Switch 2 for August 13, 2026

Nintendo confirmed that the GameCube classic *Super Mario Sunshine* will join the Nintendo Switch 2 library on 13 August 2026. The game will be available through the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription, the same service that provides access to other GameCube titles on the new console. No separate purchase or physical release is planned; only members of the Expansion Pack will be able to play the original version, without graphical upgrades or altered controls.

The announcement includes a new trailer and fulfills Nintendo’s earlier promise to gradually integrate GameCube games into the Switch 2 ecosystem. The rollout is part of the company’s broader strategy to expand its retro‑gaming catalogue for subscribers worldwide.
