Leaked documents from developer iQue reveal that the Nintendo Switch was originally planned to feature the classic Virtual Console emulator. Nintendo fans often mention missing Virtual Console when discussing the Switch's offerings, but the company hasn't seemed to budge on the idea since canceling the service and any support for it. The developer iQue worked with Nintendo on creating its Virtual Console emulators, and the company was completely bought by Nintendo in 2013. Leaks from 2023 suggest that iQue developed the Nintendo 64 emulator used within Nintendo Switch Online.
