Happy December, everyone! If you’re a Nintendo Switch Online member, your subscription just got a whole lot more valuable. Nintendo is wrapping up 2025 with a “trove” of new content—including some heavy-hitting classics and fun ways to celebrate the holidays.
Here’s the scoop on everything that just landed!
GameCube is Growing: Wario World is Here!
The wait is over for fans of the “garlic-fueled rampage.” The cult classic Wario World has officially joined the Nintendo GameCube – Nintendo Classics collection! It’s Wario’s first 3D platforming adventure, and it’s just as weird and fun as you remember.
Note: Just a heads-up that GameCube classics are exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2 system, so make sure you’ve upgraded to dive into these 128-bit gems!
We also saw some love for the older consoles this month. You can now play:
- Game Boy: Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters and BIONIC COMMANDO.
- NES: Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos and the famously difficult BATTLETOADS.
New Online Adventures: Marvel & Street Fighter
Looking for something modern to play with friends? Two big titles are stealing the spotlight:
- MARVEL Cosmic Invasion: This intergalactic brawler is perfect for family game night. It features an adaptive drop-in/drop-out system, so anyone can join the battle locally or online at any time.
- STREET FIGHTER 6: Experience the pinnacle of fighting games with rollback netcode, ensuring your online matches feel as smooth as if your opponent was sitting right next to you.
Relive Your 2025 with Nintendo Music
Think of it as your “Wrapped” for gaming tunes! For a limited time, the Nintendo Music app is featuring a 2025 Year in Review. It’s a fun way to see which tracks you had on repeat while commuting or relaxing this year.
Plus, don’t forget to grab new themed icon elements to customize your profile! These are being updated weekly until December 25, so keep checking the NSO app on your console to collect them all.

It wouldn’t be the holidays without an “ugly” sweater party! Nintendo is sharing official custom designs for festive sweaters in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. You can grab the Jingle Sweater, Bells Sweater, and Wreath Sweater by visiting Nintendo’s official island via the Dream Suite.
