Data For Virtual Console Has Been Found in the Nintendo Switch Digital Shop

One thing we’ve wanted for the Switch is the Virtual Console service. Even though the Nintendo Switch Online service is sort of a replacement, some fans wanted the library of classic games we’ve become familiar with with recent Nintendo consoles. Well, it might be interesting to note that a cunning and clever data miner by the Twitter handle KevDoy has found some references to the Virtual Console service, along with some formats such as “SNES”, “Gameboy Color”, “Nintendo 64” and more inside the Switch shop’s Javascript Object Notation (JSON for short).

Many people pointed out that it might be Nintendo just standardizing the JSON, but there is a slight chance that we will see the Virtual Console service on the Switch. Here’s hoping for the best.

What do you think? Has the dream finally come true or could it mean nothing? Let us know in the comments!
