Super Mario Sunshine is now available on the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, alongside its soundtrack on Nintendo Music.
Nintendo is diving into some welcome nostalgia this week with the addition of Super Mario Sunshine to the Nintendo Classics lineup, accessible through the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. According to My Nintendo News, this marks another expansion of the GameCube library available on the service. The launch is complemented by the release of the game’s soundtrack on Nintendo Music, celebrating its iconic tropical themes as players revisit Isle Delfino.
The game’s arrival provides a fresh opportunity for those who may have missed it during its initial 2002 release, and the soundtrack offers fans a nostalgic audio journey.
Switch 2 Sees a Flurry of Announcements
A number of titles are making their way to the Nintendo Switch 2, enriching its game library. Notably, Nintendo Life reported a surprise “shadow drop” for Everspace 2: Galactic Edition. Originally released on PC in 2023, this edition includes the base game and all DLCs, instantly available for £39.99 / $49.99.
Additionally, Playism and Indoor Sunglasses have announced the upcoming launch of Mind Diver on August 27, 2026. As detailed by Nintendo Everything, this detective adventure game invites players into the mind of a woman to solve a police investigation, offering an intriguing narrative journey.
Updates and Downloads
F-Zero 99 has received version 1.7.2 in its latest update, but as usual for Nintendo, the specifics are vague. Both Nintendo Everything and Nintendo Life highlight that the company merely states “several issues” have been fixed without detailed patch notes.
Lastly, the European Nintendo Download for August 13, 2026, includes a variety of new titles, like The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered and BlazBlue: Entropy Effect X, maintaining a robust addition of third-party games to the Switch 2 catalog.
New Nintendo Switch Online Features
Nintendo Switch Online continues to expand with new features and content. New icons for Splatoon Raiders have been added, allowing customization for your profile. As Nintendo Everything explains, these include characters, backgrounds, and frames, available for purchase with Platinum Points. This minor addition complements the ongoing evolution of Nintendo’s online services, offering personalization options to players.
