There's been a few exciting developments this week, including insiders claiming that an N64 emulator on Switch is coming and an update released that finally lets us connect wireless headphones directly to our Switch consoles.

A few weeks ago, we learned thanks to insider Nate the Hate's podcast that Game Boy and Game Boy Color games are coming to Nintendo Switch in the near future.

Going along with this escalation, Nate the Hate and his guest MVG talked this last Wednesday about the likelihood of N64 games coming to Nintendo Switch as well, and at one point he even said, "one of the platforms that will be coming to the Nintendo Switch Online in the future is the revolutionary Nintendo 64.".

As such, it isn't likely that these games will make it to any N64 emulator on Switch.

With the kind of anticipation N64 titles create, a separate N64 emulator subscription could launch alongside Nintendo Switch Online and would likely be somewhere between a yearly $20 and $35 payment.

However, keep in mind that Nintendo already excludes certain classic games from previous emulators, so it's likely the same would happen for this N64 one.

Super Mario 64 would also be on this emulator, considering it was already made available on Switch for a limited-run physical copy via Super Mario All-Stars.

With the 13.0.0 update Nintendo released on Tuesday, night we can finally connect Bluetooth headsets directly to the Switch without needing an intermediary accessory.

Keep in mind that this update does not apply to microphones on headsets, which isn't surprising given that voice chat isn't readily available on Nintendo Switch games.

It just took four years since the Switch launched for Nintendo to flip the switch and make an ability it's been capable of all along go live.

This update launched suspiciously close to the OLED Model's release date.

Now the question becomes, why did Nintendo suddenly decide to make Bluetooth headphone connectivity available out of the blue on a Tuesday evening.
