Virtual Console Dreaming: The Super Mario Strikers Update
Super Mario Strikers by Next Level Games and Nintendo
I was going to open this piece by saying that we were “already” getting another GameCube title dropped in our laps, but then I realized the Switch 2 launched almost a month ago.
Nintendo announced this evening that they’re adding Super Mario Strikers to the GameCube Switch Online library. I haven’t played this one yet, but I’m a big fan of the arcade sports games of the era (NBA Street, my one true love).
If you’re a subscriber, it will be available starting on July 3rd. It might be the perfect thing to sneak in a few matches here and there between comforting your anxious pets as fireworks blast all day and night.
Anyway, here is my wishlist for the service.
There have been no additions since the last Virtual Console Dreaming article. We need to start receiving more than one title a month if we’re going to 100% the list. Get on that, Nintendo. We deserve to play P.N.03 on the beach.

I’m still covering showcase season so there are plenty of trailers on the site if you missed them the first time. I believe I’m down to my final three articles–but we’ll see. Video games are very good.
In the meantime, I posted a fantastic talk with the dev of Gunmetal Gothic and I’ll hopefully have at least one more interview coming soon.
Thanks for reading. Make sure you’re drinking water and staying out of the sun.
