    The remaining data stored in Super Mario 3D All-Stars emulators, potentially hinting that N64 Switch Online is coming soon?

    Not long ago Nintendo announced Super Mario 3D All-Stars, a collection of three Super Mario titles getting the HD treatment for the Nintendo Switch. The titles are Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy. Unfortunately, gamers are unhappy that the games are just better ports than full-fledged remakes, because everyone wants to dive into the nostalgia playing a Super Mario 64 in Full HD.



    Interestingly, this title has already been leaked online, and it looks like all three games are using new emulators developed by NERD (Nintendo of Europe). In addition to this, some leftover data stored in emulators that should have been deleted, which holds many mysteries for the future of Nintendo Switch Online.

    Strings in All Stars N3 64D Emulator, Nintendo Switch Online?

    Titles included in the channels are Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Mario Golf, Mario Story, Mario Tennis, Perfect Dark, and Pokemon Snap!

    The Nintendo 64 emulator used for 3D All-Stars is the same one used for N64 Online, so with those implications, does that mean Nintendo 64 Online could be coming to the Switch soon? Many gamers have been waiting for N64 games to come to the Switch, especially titles like Perfect Dark and Pokemon Snap. What's important to realize is that the data strings above aren't even the full list of games; it's just data that shouldn't be there. This means that several other titles may have been included but were removed, possibly titles such as Banjo Kazooie, or even Paper Mario.



    Two of the emulators were built from scratch, the Wii and the Gamecube; this could mean things could already be in motion for those coming to Nintendo Online. Nintendo is laying the groundwork for the future of the Switch's online features, and with the details of these emulators unfolding, who knows what else they're planning.
