Another GameCube game is making a surprise entrance onto Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass. Wario World is currently available to play on Nintendo GameCube: Nintendo Classics.

Wario World wasn’t advertised in the initial game release schedule for Nintendo GameCube: Nintendo Classics. It’s a brand new surprise, which shows there are more plans beyond the scheduled games to support the exclusive retro service for Nintendo Switch 2 in the future.

Ready to rumble with Wario? You’d BETTER be ready! Throw punches, charge through crowds, and pummel foes in Wario World, available now on #NintendoSwitch2 for #NintendoSwitchOnline + Expansion Pack members. pic.twitter.com/mlpu3YLP7p
