Snake Pass looks really cool, Digital Foundry compared the PS4 and Switch versions and they were basically the same except for resolution, pretty impressive and also bodes well for other Unreal 4 games.

@J.K. RikiI'm really, really excited for GCN VC on Switch. Having a mobile version of Metroid Prime would be insanely cool (nothing against Hunters it's an excellent DS game but a far cry from the original GCN classic).

Pikmin 2 may be my all-time favorite game. I 100%'d that game, and damn proud of it.

@deathly_hallowsDid they announce GC games will be on Switch? I feel like I've heard that, but it might just have been a rumor.

@Hero_Of_HyruleJust a rumor for now. Seems like, should the VC continue on future Nintendo consoles, it is inevitable at some point down the road.

I'm curious if the Switch is powerful enough for GCN or Wii emulation, though I haven't looked into it.

@J.K. RikiBut how can the switch replicate the L and R buttons on the GC controller? Like how in Mario sunshine, the further your press down the trigger, the greater the water pressure. And once they click down, then you can aim with the control stick. The switch has two shoulder buttons on each side, so one can be the light press and the other can be the click. But does one of those shoulder buttons slowly press down, or is it a digital "pressed" vs "not pressed" deal, like with the 3DS and Wii U?

The only thing I can imagine is that Nintendo will use the USB Gamecube Adapter they used on Wii U. I can't see them using any other solution. They're not going to release a Joycon with analog triggers. UNLESS they make one with analog triggers and a DPAD. Something like a "Retro-Con." But yeah...another expensive accessory.

@Hero_Of_HyruleNot that many games used the analog triggers, plenty of others could still be emulated.
