Rumor: GameCube games are coming to the Switch VC.

Game Cube VC?

So then the Switch does have analog triggers for shoulder buttons.

So it's likely that Wii U Pro controllers and Wiimotes might not be compatible. At least for several games, while some games might still support them, like any Wii U port or VC game from NES to N64.

Source Gaming: Melee is coming to the Switch VC within the first year, and Smash Switch is the definitive version with 2 new characters.

Nintendo Dream magazine asked Nintendo on why the name "Switch" and what Nintendo wanted people to take away from the Switch trailer.

“We decided that this name would be the best fit for our product for two reasons. It represents one of the defining features of the Switch, the ability to seamlessly ‘switch’ between the TV screen and Switch’s screen, while also embodying the idea of being a ‘switch’ that will flip, and change the way people experience entertainment in their daily lives.”

“We wanted to show people just how much of an enjoyable difference it will make in their entertainment experiences, by having them see and hear for themselves what it can do in an easy-to-digest manner. It allows people to enjoy a home console experience not only in front of a TV, but in rooms with no TV, or outside altogether. And because the controllers are detachable from the main body of the console, each of its forms offer different play experiences for people to enjoy.”

Eurogamer: Melee, Luigi's Mansion, and Sunshine are ready for Switch VC.

Also, there will be a small fee for upgrading already owned VC titles similar to what already happens between the Wii and Wii U VC.

That indicates that there'll be some way to carryover existing VC games?

Yep. That's not surprising at all since you could do that for 3DS > New 3DS and Wii > Wii U as is.

Sunshine is awesome, but I really want Kirby Air Ride.

Any chance of Eternal Darkness on VC? It and Sunshine are the only titles I'm interested in that I never got a chance to play.

I wonder if Melee (and maybe Mario Kart: Double Dash) would have Online Connectivity for the VC?

Probably not, but that'd be cool if they did.

I would have asked for Star Fox Assault, if I didn't already order a copy of it online. Doubt we'd see any/many third party games on the VC either. Shame, because there's a handful of games I want to come back to.

I've said it before, but if they really are doing GC games on VC... Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door. Please. I already have the GC version but I would buy it again anyway because it's one of my favorite games ever.

Also, time to theorize on who the two new Smash characters will be.

How will Lugi's Mansion and Sunshine work? Does the Switch have analog shoulder buttons?

[up][up]I would laugh my head off if they did that.

But seriously, I'm curious what route they'll go. One one hand, I could easily see them adding in characters like Inklings, given how popular Splatoon is. But given how much emphasis they're giving their third-party connections this time around, they might want to include some of those, just to drive up the hype factor. I mean, let's face, having, say, The Dragonborn in Smash would definitely draw in a lot of attention.

This would be a good opportunity to add Inklings to smash.

It's most likely Inkling and Ice Climbers.

[up][up]If they do that, I'd also like to see Radiant Dawn so I can play them both. Maybe do something so we can carry over save data, too.
