Nintendo GameCube was home to a plethora of great games despite its smaller install base. Some are obvious, such as games like Resident Evil 4 and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, but there are other gems that might not immediately spring to mind. One such title is legendary developer Treasure’s Wario World, which originally came to the console in 2003. If you’ve never played the game, or if it’s been a while, it has come to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack—take a look:
Wario World is a bit different from the character’s Wario Land games, as the gameplay takes place in 3D with a strong emphasis on brawling alongside the platforming. Here’s how Nintendo describes the game:
Go on a garlic-fueled rampage in this action title released for the Nintendo GameCube system in 2003! Wario’s journey begins with a promise of vengeance against a powerful and cursed black jewel that’s warped his castle and nabbed his treasure. Defeat enemies, collect coins and treasures, and rescue Spritelings trapped in boxes as you progress through four stages. Wario’s got some mighty powerful moves, like Wild Swing-Ding and Piledriver, that aren’t just good for attacking—they’re also slick at clearing path-blocking traps.
If you’d like to play, you’ll need to have an active Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription. It’s also a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive, as the GameCube library is only available on that system. If you have both ready to go, then get to downloading and playing today!
