While Nintendo goes through its nostalgic phase, we’d love these GameCube titles on the Switch.

Nintendo has been answering the calls of nostalgia fans over the last few years. The Nintendo Switch Online and Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass memberships include retro games available directly to the Switch. These include beloved titles like The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword that have been remastered and built for the new console. Watching the company go on this roll has us wishing they would bring back some more classics from the GameCube era.

The Nintendo GameCube came out in 2001 and while it didn’t sell as well as it was anticipated to, it is still a favored system among many Nintendo fans. There were many games created for the system before it was discontinued in 2007. Here are just a few that we wish would make a reappearance on the Switch.

GameCube classics that should come back:

Animal Crossing
Beyond Good and Evil
Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem
Luigi’s Mansio…

To unlock the iPad Pro with biometrics, you need to set it up Face ID. You can set up, change, and customize Face ID at any time.

Ever since the iPhone X, Apple has moved away from the Home button-enabled Touch ID for most of its iPhone and iPad devices. In its place is Face ID, which is Apple’s biometric facial identity scanner that lets you unlock your iPad Pro, as well as recent iPhone models like the iPhone 13 Pro.

You can also enable Face ID as another layer of security for certain apps, like your password manager or note-taking app, use it for things like Apple Pay, and so much more. Here’s how to set up Face ID on an iPad Pro and pretty much any other device that uses Face ID.
