Reliable journalist Tom Phillips has heard from his sources that the Nintendo Switch will have GameCube titles on the Virtual Console. Emily Rogers has also reported something similar and says that Nintendo is listening to fans requests about Virtual Console and emulation.
GameCube Virtual Console for Switch is indeed a thing, heard from at least 3 people. Working on report now on 1st games, thinking behind it.

THANK GOD!!! PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING BE ON THE SWITCH!!!
I REALLY NEED MY PATH OF RADIANCE ON THE GO!!!!!!!
Now if they’ll only listen to the Paper Mario fans… When they see how many more people re-purchase Thousand-Year Door on Switch’s Virtual Console, in comparison to how many people bought Color Splash on Wii U, maybe we’ll finally get that TTYD sequel everyone’s been so desperately craving for the last 12 years.
Does this mean that the Switch has analog-enabled shoulder buttons? I always assumed that was the reason we never GameCube VC on the Wii or Wii U; if you can’t control Luigi’s Poltergust or Mario’s FLUDD, that’s half the reason for GCVC gone right there!
And Melee! (light shielding, l-canceling without risk of air-dodging/early techs)
I hope all GC games will be available and not limited.
||I’m confirmed for Switch…||
Nobody wants faggots in gaming :,D
Then get out then.
What the fuck…wtf?
Says the puppetmaster, a person whose entire job is to stick their hand up someone elses ass. Why dont you do us all a favor and shut the fuck up. Faggot is a hate word, and you’re a hateful person who has no business on a Nintendo fan site. GTFO of here.
Am not going anywhere, Sickr is a good friend of Obinna. Obinna made this website famous.

Will there be Wii U games on VC?
No they just get re-released. Example: Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon
I just want Mother 3 ;_;
And I want to legally play Rhythm Tengoku but that’s not happening either.

Please let this be true. I’d love to play Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door as well as Chibi Robo on the go.
Eternal Darkness and Rogue Leader please! And while we’re dreaming, PN03!
Don’t hold your breath for Rogue Leader. Hell! We have N64 VC but the first Rogue Squadron that was on N64 is nowhere to be seen.
I already have a virtual console for the Gamecube. It is called Dolphin. It is also free.
Its also illegal.
you say that like it matters lol
||We will make it matter…||
Called nintendont
PLEASE LET THIS HAPPEN
What do we think? N64 games are $10 and Wii games are $20. So $15 for GameCube games? Maybe closer to $20 because Wii games are so similar to GameCube games?
Remember they say that you can use other joysticks on the Nintendo switch, maybe there will be some with analogue shoulder buttons.
The shoulder buttons are rumored to already be analogue. What I’d like to see is a Joycon designed to resemble the GameCube controller. Kidney buttons, C stick and all.
Super mario sunshine and im there day one
and i just realized that it will be on the go.
That’s gotta be on there…It’s the only 3D Mario game on the Gamecube
its the only game i really care about. melee i might buy just because I play a lot of smash 4 so if comes out before smash 4 on the switch that will hold me over
If this is true it would actually mean that the Switch is likely quite a lot more powerful than the Wii U.
Why? Perfectly emulating from an different architecture requires an great amount of additional power in comparison to the original hardware. This is also the reason, why the normal 3DS can not even run emulated SNES games perfectly (Yes, this is most likely no nintendo bs. Perfect emulation is no joke!)
The Wii U does have additional hardware to be backwards compatible even though it is not a completely different architecture.
GC VC would be a legitimate console seller for many people.
Nintendo Switch sounds good so far. I just hope they keep it up and this could be the best Nintendo console yet.
Somebody by my collection and you literally have every game you want for the GameCube…. component cables and all😉
And how many gamecube games are going to fit on a console that only accepts 32gb SD cards as memory?
Hopefully not only GameCube VC but also a better, bigger Virtual Console library!
