Last week’s Nintendo Direct hit us with some exciting news and more gameplay footage for upcoming titles. Super Mario Odyssey is set for release in just over a month’s time along side its new Nintendo Switch bundle and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 finally got an official release date. The company is also planning to start porting its classic arcade titles over to the Switch and is even bringing the NES Classic Edition back from the dead.

Speaking of retro Nintendo, keen data miners have unearthed some odd files laying deep within the Switch operating system. On top of what appears to be an NES emulator, hackers have also found an old NES game that looks an awful lot like the 1984 classic: Golf.
