Should Everyone Expect SNES Surprises?
Similar to all Nintendo Direct announcements, no further information was given. However, industry reports suggest that 40 minutes provides Nintendo a significant time to provide at least a few surprises for Switch fans.
Earlier this year, personnel of Nintendo was spotted at the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, filing a document for what may look like a Super NES-style wireless controller for Switch.
A figure of the document features a drawing of the back of the wireless device, which is positively a SNES controller. Also, the shape has model numbers and FCC ID, which include the letters HAC.
Bear in mind that the “HAC” phrase is usually found in model numbers for Switch hardware and accessories.
The FCC filing of Nintendo may give further proof to the addition of Super NES games for Switch Online.
In January of this year, members of the modding community discovered evidence for SNES titles for Switch Online. Among the titles include Pilot Wings, Super Mario, and The Legend of Zelda.
The addition of SNES games for Switch Online would enhance the gaming experience as evidenced by the addition of Vice: Project Doom and Kung-Fu Heroes. At present, Nintendo sells Switch wireless controllers, which has a SNES controller design.
