According to data miners and via AGD, every single Nintendo Switch since launch has a secret NES emulator hidden among its firmware code. Not only that, it also has a full NES game installed and ready to play: Flog.

Flog is the codename for Golf, which of course is one of the NES's most beloved classics (even if it wasn't included with the NES Mini). What is even more interesting is that the game is apparently fully playable by both players with both digital buttons and Joy-Con motion controls, perhaps hinting at some sort of evolved Virtual Console. However, again, it's hidden from the public, so you can't simply run it on your system.

For now, the only official announcement regarding classic titles for the Switch has been the just-revealed Arcade Archives by Hamster.

Here's some gameplay we captured back in the day from NES Open Tournament Golf, Golf's 'sequel' that featured Mario:
