Miyamoto: it’d be “great” if Switch played classic games

Shigeru Miyamoto mentioned how he feels about getting classic games on the Nintendo Switch in a recent interview with Game Informer.

“We have a version of Mario 64 on the DS, and as you mentioned there are Zelda ports on the 3DS, but rather than focus on trying to remake them,” Miyamoto said regarding the possibility of a Super Mario 64 remake, “I would rather if we were to think about porting them, focus on more recent titles, but using the unique gameplay elements of the Switch.”

That’s when the Nintendo legend revealed his desires for the hybrid console.

“When you think about the playstyle of the Switch it would be great if I could play all classic games on it,” he said.

Does this mean Virtual Console is on its way to the Nintendo Switch soon? The system does support GameCube controllers now, after all.
