Wario World Joins Switch 2’s GameCube Classics Lineup

Nintendo has expanded its GameCube Classics collection for the Switch 2’s Online + Expansion Pack subscription with the addition of Wario World, a 3D platform game.

A Celebration of Antithesis Characters

The author expresses their appreciation for antithesis characters in video games, with Wario being a prime example. Wario World, developed by Treasure, was Wario’s first non‑handheld game, inspired by Mario 64 but with a fixed camera and a greater emphasis on combat.

Reception and Legacy

While the game was well‑received in 2003, its short length and premium price were criticisms. However, these issues are less relevant now that Wario World is part of a subscription service.

Joining the Classics Lineup

The game joins other classics like The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Super Mario Sunshine, with more titles expected soon.

Final Thoughts

Wario World is a solid addition to the GameCube Classics collection, offering a fun and action‑packed platforming experience for Switch 2 players.
