Gaming GameCube VC may be on Switch

[nmkd]

Meh, my WiiU master race console is already running Wii, GC and wholealottashitofotherretroconsoles.

But it's not a handheld.

Inventors like NERD (Nintendo European Research and Development) are pretty able to assist nintendo with heavier work such as writing Backwards Compatibility stuff.

We just got information from Eurogamer, as well as a few other sources, that the Switch will support Virtual Console, and GameCube will be featured alongside the platforms. Four games may make it to the Switch not only for the first time on the Switch VC, but as a welcome to the Virtual Console as a whole, as we haven't seen any GameCube games on Wii U. Those four games are Super Mario Sunshine, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Animal Crossing, and Luigi's Mansion.

We have also heard that NERD (Nintendo European Research and Development) is engineering the Switch VC. This is NERD we're talking about, the same studio behind the DS Virtual Console on Wii U, as well as the NES Classic Edition (or NES Mini). We may also get support for the Wii U's GameCube controller adapter, although we are not sure as of yet.

Conclusion is, if this GameCube VC rumor is true, then I'll be so hyped for it.
What do you think?

Skies of Arcadia Legends and Tales of Symphonia on the go...... *drools* That'd be awesome.

If this is gonna be confirmed, I'd rebuy Melee, Mario Party 7 and Kirby Air Ride in a heartbeat.

Gamecube games on a portable console? Count me in!

If the switch's joy cons can be used as individual GameCube controllers then that means easy multiplayer for everyone! And four-player with an extra par, or a seond Switch.

I've always wondered how shoulder buttons would work in horizontal mode...

It has extra shoulder buttons on the side.

It has extra shoulder buttons on the side.

I don't think so, judging by the footage and patents

 

[Futurdreamz]

That's because they are not visible

I find it difficult to get excited over Gamecube VC rumors. Not only because it's just rumors.
First: It will be quite expensive.
Second: The games will be released one or two games at a time, and will mostly be games that everyone already played.

But then again, I'll probably fall for it and buy a game or two. (Especially if they release Paper Mario TTYD.)

Watch again. Specifically the sliding onto the switch scene, and the Mario kart scene where the extra shoulder button is used to drift. I'll link a YouTube video within an hour.

I'd appreciate that, actually.

Edit: if you're referring to the trailer I can just watch it myself

I was referring to the trailer, but there's also a video that zooms in on it, but I have to rewatch all the switch-related videos in my history to find it.
