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. 

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance is the newest game added to the Nintendo Switch Online and Expansion Pack tier, according to a post from Nintendo on Thursday. 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.
