Nintendo has revealed a major Nintendo Switch Online update planned for next month, expanding the service with more retro content and new platform features. The announcement points to additions tied to both GameCube and Virtual Boy, signaling a broader push for classic Nintendo libraries on Switch.
One of the biggest highlights is Super Mario Sunshine, which is scheduled to arrive on August 13. Its addition gives subscribers another well-known Mario release to revisit through Nintendo Switch Online, and it is likely to be one of the main draws of the update.
The update is also notable because it will include Virtual Boy content, with the headline indicating that previously unreleased Virtual Boy games are part of the plan. Alongside that, Nintendo says the service will gain new games and features connected to GameCube, suggesting that the retro offering is being expanded on multiple fronts at once.
While full details were not included in the initial snippet, the announcement makes clear that Nintendo is preparing a sizable refresh for Switch Online in August. For subscribers, the biggest points are the arrival of Super Mario Sunshine and the addition of new GameCube and Virtual Boy material.
