If we get a Gamecube mini at some point

If the N64 Mini is coming, I fear were not getting Virtual Console for a long time. At least anything beyond NES.
How many people are really going to want a $100+ N64 mini, on top of going through the hassle of trying to get another limited production item? We're already at $80 for the SNES mini.
I just want the games on the Switch versus having to buy these different systems. If Nintendo had plans on making a N64 mini, then I would imagine that they would want to keep it a secret versus trademarking the controller logo this early. The Switch controller logo also being trademarked has me leaning towards VC.
If they use the actual N64 chipset but reduced in size to a SoC like the iQue, then I could easily see it being in higher demand than either the NES or SNES since the N64 is so hard to properly emulate. People are already shelling out a lot of money for RGB and HDMI mods on N64's so this would be a no brainer.Yes, I don't get the appeal, maybe because I already own the original hardware, but I don't want a bunch of systems hooked up to one TV.
I'm dying for virtual console games to come out on switch.
Considering the iQue was an official Nintendo product, I think there's a possibility this is the controller we could get. It's probably also worth looking at the library released for it as well.
I asked this once before, didn't get an answer:
How "mini" could the N64 mini even be if it includes 4 player support? The linear configuration for the controller ports would require the ports to be squashed up next to each other and even then would probably make the unit larger than either the NES/SNES mini.
The 'controller ports' on the SNES mini are false- they fold down to reveal smaller ports. I imagine something similar would happen for an N64 Mini.

The GoNintendo.com article where I originally found this info speculated it may be related to VC and not Classics. I don't know really. It seems like it could relate to both.
Looking forward to them discontinuing it before I even get a chance to buy one

The funny thing about Switch is that Nintendo could sell custom made (I mean beyond the colors) joycons to earn more cash.

I'd love to see things like Goldeneye and Perfect Dark on there, but not at their original framerates
I'm not a framerate snob but they were diabolical. PD was a slideshow on multiplayer with bots.
It was a Famicom controller, not an NES controller, they filed a trademark for. Whether it's a PAL SNES or Super Famicom controller the other application is for I don't know. Here are the photos anyhow:Can you share those photos? They also filed trademark applications for the NES and SNES controllers in Europe back in February (016361751 and 016361784). The application for the latter was withdrawn.
