@JaxonH Pretty sure that's just a custom named folder.
That being said, I agree, VC isn't coming back, or at least as we know it. Them avoiding that term is likely for a reason. I think the Classic Games Selection attached to the online subscription and perhaps some collections will replace the traditional VC. Either that or the VC service does return, but the "Virtual Console" branding gets dropped completely.
That's unbelievable.If It is indeed fake and surely it must be,how on earth have they pulled that off?That's got to be the most convincing fake I've ever seen,even with the couple of errors that have been picked up.
We are hearing word that the icon used is just a dummy icon used in testing and not the actual application of Mario kart 8 Deluxe, hence the lack of it in storage.
But on top of that it's been noted that while the YouTube logo in the media folder is indeed the old one...it's also that logo on PS4..
Guys it could maybe real. I really, really don't know.

@OorWullie IF this is real. In the what the hell event this update is real it will answer all the complaints about the online service, as it will be available via your phone, but not mandatory.
It will be an OS level lobby system.
Folders, yay. Themes yay. Internet yay.
I mean...this is Nintendo....they wouldn't suddenly answer all our requests at once...right...

The idea that they'd add basically EVERYTHING that's been requested in one update though? Way too good to be true.
Seriously, if that's real, they'd be adding:
Themes
Folders
Icon Sorting
On system voice chat
Party Chat
Messaging
Cloud storage
System level microphone support
Internet browser
Not to mention an implied VC and the launch of more media apps.
There'd literally be nothing left that I can think of other than improving the video recording. It'd honestly make me concerned about future system updates where they do stuff for the sake of it and it leads to a slow bloated mess.
When's the last time we got 2 new Zelda games on the same system back to back the year after? Not since the CDi days, which is a poor example at best. So really, the NES was the last time.
"Same system" is completely meaningless given the fact that Nintendo effectively has one platform now. I'd argue that you should probably throw that part of the equation out of the window. And in any case nobody is talking about two big 3D Zeldas launching in the same year. We're talking about a 3D Zelda and a 2D Zelda coming out with almost a two year gap between them. Which, when you look at it like that, has been more or less what has happened consistently for the last two decades.
Also, this doesn't look fake. I'm not saying it's real but this looks legit. Do you know how hard it would be too fake this? Dang near impossible imo. Just, everything about it seems authentic. Hard to believe because it seems too good to be true but it does seem genuine.
It's very slick but it's just a menu so it'd be super easy to fake. And given they show it on a monitor in a poorly lit room they wouldn't even have to fake a working menu. They'd just have to edit footage captured from the Switch menu and put it on a monitor. And that's the thing that made me think it was fake. Not the inconsistencies in the menu but the fact that they decided to record it off-screen on a monitor.
In any case there is only one scenario I can think of where the "leak" would make sense. If NoA was sent footage of the new menu so they could look over it to check that it makes sense to an English speaker. Remembering that NoA wouldn't be developing or testing system software. So there being inconsistencies would make sense, what they'd get would be mockup. Even so there are still two things that don't make sense.
1. If you had footage wouldn't it be easier just to leak the file itself?
2. If you worked at NoA why would you risk your job, especially for system software.....

For me, that's being madly in love with fictional characters. Plz don't judge.
Yes, my first anime was High School DxD. Don't ask or judge!

@skywake Again, the thing I was specifically talking about wouldn't be a new game. It's A Link Between Worlds, the 2013 game, in HD. A port. A remaster. Not a new game.
A moot point given I was trying to argue that it wasn't crazy for it to be a thing even if it was a brand new game. If it's a HD remaster that's even less unprecedented than a new release. If you include remasters we've had basically one Zelda every year for almost 10 years.
Even so, I think it would make more sense if they did something new in the style of A Link Between Worlds in HD. Like what Majora's Mask was to OoT or Spirit Tracks was to Phantom Hourglass. And if you think about it A Link Between Worlds was built on A Link to the Past. Why not do A Link's Awakening equivalent on Switch in HD?

I'm that guy who gets way too excited about rumors and believes every one, so I'll address all the reasons people think the video is fake with explanations from Reddit. (It's probably fake though.)
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe takes up the wrong amount of space.
It's possible that, since this would be a test system if real, the games are simply dummy files meant to see if games load properly on 5.0.
The YouTube app has the wrong icon.
PS4, Apple TV, and Xbox One use that icon.
The "g" in "Legend of Zelda" is in the wrong font.
I actually cannot find a really good explanation for this, but something I noticed is that the g's in "Online Lounge" and "Messages" is correct. This leaker is kind of stupid if they got the font right before and then got it wrong. The explanation I found on Reddit (from a game dev, no less) was that Nintendo just forgot as this is still a beta.
Too good to be true, I think. I could never imagine they have the resources and technical know how to pull all of that off with a single update. If they could, it makes me wonder what the point of even putting effort into that online app was for, considering they probably knew their plans for their online service long before this leak
