Rumor: Dataminers Found SNES Games, New Classic Console Emulators Planned For Nintendo Switch Online
It seems Nintendo plans to add new SNES titles including new console emulators for the Nintendo Switch Online service.
According to Kapu, a dataminer, the latest Switch update apparently added SNES games to be included for the service in the future. All in all, 22 classic SNES titles have been found:

In addition, @OatmealDome shared he found more Nintendo classic console emulators on the NES Switch app. Four emulator types have been datamined:
- Kachikachi (NES Classic)
- Canoe (SNES Classic)
- Hiyoko (???)
- Count (???)
This might mean Nintendo could be planning to roll these out to spice things up for the service in the future.
I was looking through the NES Switch app with @KapuccinoHeck and @Simon1844. I found four emulator types:
Kachikachi (NES Classic)
Canoe (SNES Classic)
Hiyoko (???)
Count (???)This could mean there will be two new Classic consoles and/or three new consoles for Switch Online.
