As we get closer to the next major Nintendo Switch unveiling in January, details about the new console continue to trickle out.
The latest is a report that claims the Nintendo Switch will be adding GameCube Virtual Console support to the upcoming console.
Sources claim that Nintendo already has Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, and Super Smash Bros. Melee working in an emulated form on the Switch.
Animal Crossing is slated to be next.
While Nintendo has included the Virtual Console — a store where emulated versions of legacy Nintendo games can be bought to play on newer hardware — on the Wii, Wii U, and 3DS platforms, none have offered GameCube games for sale.
It’s expected that Nintendo will continue to offer games from its NES and SNES consoles on the Switch, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
