Switch 2 GameCube Nintendo Switch Online latency

Nintendo Switch 2 kicked off its launch with GameCube games on Switch Online, but unfortunately, it’s not entirely perfect with some issues having been noticed – particularly with latency.

Right now the emulation Nintendo has in place isn’t up to snuff compared to the original GameCube releases. Everything available right now – F-Zero GX, Zelda: The Wind Waker, Soulcalibur 2, and Super Mario Strikers – is affected.

Switch demos

Thousands of games are currently available on Switch, and there are a ton of demos out there for many of them. Not just Nintendo, but also third-parties are offering demos. We’ve now put together a comprehensive list of what’s out there.

Since our reader base is English-speaking, that’s what we’re focusing on here. In other words, we’re highlighting Switch demos that you can find in North America and Europe. Japan has a few extra demos on its end, but a majority of them are for titles that are not currently being sold in the west and are only playable in Japanese.
