Reliable and informative video game journalist Laura Kate Dale has revealed yet another nugget of information on Twitter. She says that the long-awaited Mother 3 Virtual Console release will actually be on the Nintendo Switch rather than the previously rumoured Wii U. The game will come to the Nintendo Switch Virtual Console during the second quarter of the year and will be one of the announcements at the January 12 event.
