Given the library of NES games along with these new controllers, the Nintendo Switch looks like it's on its way to making the NES Classic console obsolete. The NES Classic offers 30 games in one compact throwback console, and if Nintendo adds more classic games to the Nintendo Switch Online service, it may overtake the NES Classic's library.

The wireless NES controllers will work with the Nintendo Switch console with the ability to slide onto the sides of the Switch just like a standard Joy-Con and charge up their battery.
