Nintendo Switch Online lets you play online multiplayer with a Switch or Switch 2, and it also offers a slew of free games, including one of the most valuable games for the Nintendo GameCube.

That is if you have the right membership.

Originally released in 2005, Path of Radiance was the only Fire Emblem game to be released on the GameCube. Fans of the series consider it to be one of the best games in the franchise, and it’s also one of the hardest to find since it was released late in the GameCube’s run.

What’s the difference between the Nintendo Switch Online tiers?

The standard Nintendo Switch Online subscription costs $20 a year, and along with online multiplayer, it also allows access to a library of NES, SNES and Game Boy titles. For the higher price of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription, members get access to Nintendo GameCube games, Nintendo 64 games, Game Boy Advance games and Sega Genesis games.
