It is not required to play F-Zero 99 in order to claim these rewards. 12 character icons are up for grabs, as well as 12 backgrounds. Each character icon is redeemable with 10 Platinum Points on My Nintendo, and each background for 5.

Today, we’re going over a bunch of popular GameCube games and how likely they are to come to Nintendo Switch Online on Nintendo Switch 2.

In somewhat of a surprise move, Nintendo recently announced that titles from that console are coming to Switch Online + Expansion Pack members exclusively on Switch 2. The reason this is surprising is that GameCube games on the service sort of run counter to Nintendo’s strategy with GameCube games on the current Switch. Up until now, Nintendo has been content to release individually-packaged GameCube games as standalone titles – or remake them altogether. Pikmin 1, Pikmin 2, Metroid Prime, and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door are all playable on Nintendo Switch already. That may knock out quite a few titles from Nintendo Switch Online, though it’s technically still possible that they could get a release later.

That information was shared in a new podcast published today. He said that he’s heard about Nintendo’s plans to bring GameCube support to Nintendo Switch Online, which is “a question of when, not if.” While not fully committing to that news being shared during tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct for Switch 2, it’s apparently “very likely”.
