Nintendo Switch fans could be treated to Gamecube and Wii Virtual Console releases very soon.
It was recently revealed that Super Mario Galaxy, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Punch-out!! are coming to the NVIDIA Shield.
The bad news is that the games will only be available on the device in China.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii is said to run at 1080p, while games will cost RMB 68 (£7.60).
While it’s unlikely we’ll see these games on NVIDIA devices outside of China, it’s worth pointing out that the Nintendo Switch uses Nvidia’s Tegra chip technology.
It’s possible, therefore, that we’ll see these games make an appearance when the Virtual Console hits the Nintendo Switch.
And Virtual Console support could be coming soon, as Nintendo adds Gamecube controller support for the Switch.
The recently released update 4.0.0 lets users use classic Gamecube controllers via USB.
This will almost certainly be followed by Gamecube games on the Virtual Console when it launches next year.

It’s been a good week for Nintendo Switch fans, who have been treated to some fantastic games news.
Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi recently said that he wants to work on consoles again, before praising the Nintendo Switch.
Capcom, meanwhile, announced plans to release Mega Man 11 on Nintendo Switch next year.
Likewise, Mega Man Legacy Collection and Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 are being released on Nintendo Switch in Spring 2018.
