Nintendo’s Virtual Console, the service that offered classic video games from previous console generations and arcade machines, isn’t coming to Nintendo Switch. The company told Kotaku in a statement that it has “no plans to bring classic games together under the Virtual Console banner as has been done on other Nintendo systems.”

The fate of the Virtual Console on Switch has been unclear since well before Nintendo’s latest system launched last year. In the lead-up to its current console launch, Nintendo neither confirmed nor denied it would bring the Virtual Console, which first launched on the Wii in 2006, to Switch. It said it was “still undecided” on reviving the service for a fourth platform, and instead indicated that it would try something new: offering a selection of classic games as part of its online subscription service, Nintendo Switch Online.
