The latest addition to the Switch 2’s GameCube Classics Library indicates that Nintendo knows this as well. Super Mario Strikers is the first post-launch drop on the company’s subscription service, and it's a smart one. In fact, most of Mario’s weirder one-offs from twenty years ago would be a perfect fit for the handheld. NintendoWhile many of these sports-themed party games have sequels on modern consoles, there’s one reason why I’d opt to play older ones — Nintendo games rarely drop in price. I hope Super Mario Strikers is a sign of things to come.
