Nintendo Switch Online continues to grow its value proposition for subscribers with the Expansion Pack, offering access to a rich library of classic titles from Nintendo’s storied history.
The service, available exclusively for Nintendo Switch, has delighted fans with an expanding GameCube catalogue, allowing a new generation to experience beloved games.
Recently, the community has been abuzz with discussion following the discovery of an image on retailer Walmart’s website featuring Pikmin 2 and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes—two titles not currently confirmed for the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack. The image, which showcased various Nintendo offerings and prominently displayed the Nintendo Switch Online service, caught the attention of attentive visitors.
Notably, Pikmin 2 and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes—originally released for the Nintendo GameCube—were shown among the showcased titles, raising hopes that these iconic games could soon join the Switch Online Expansion Pack catalogue.
Pikmin 2, developed by Nintendo, is a celebrated strategy adventure first released in 2004, while Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, developed by Retro Studios and published by Nintendo, is a critically acclaimed first-person adventure released the same year. A representative summary of the situation stated that the inclusion of Pikmin 2 and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes in the retailer’s visuals does not serve as an official announcement from Nintendo.
The appearance of these titles could potentially be the result of a merchandising error or placeholder content on Walmart’s site rather than confirmation of upcoming releases.
As such, it remains essential for the gaming community to exercise caution and await official communication from Nintendo regarding new additions to the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack GameCube lineup. Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack has established itself as a key service for retro gaming on the Nintendo Switch platform, regularly rotating in fan-favorite titles from the Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance, SEGA Genesis, and GameCube eras.
The service’s growing catalogue has contributed to user engagement, with Nintendo reporting increasing subscription numbers since the Expansion Pack’s introduction in October 2021. As anticipation builds, fans should monitor official channels—including announcements via Nintendo Direct presentations and updates on the eShop—for confirmation regarding future releases.
Until then, images surfacing online should be considered unofficial unless verified by Nintendo.
For now, Pikmin 2 and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes continue to stand as some of the most-requested additions to the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack’s ever-expanding collection.
