In the past, the approach taken for the speedrun.com platform names of classic games on modern Nintendo consoles was to add VC at the end, the abbreviation for Virtual Console. This resulted in "WiiVC," "WiiUVC," and "3DSVC," which I really liked.
However, now Nintendo has revealed their online service plans for the Switch. There has been no mention of the Virtual Consone brand at all. But, they have still advertised that classic NES games will be playable on the system, and therefore can be speedran, and will need a platform of their own on speedrun.com. However, I don't think simply adding "SwitchVC" to the platform list will cut it - Nintendo has specifically avoided the phrase for a reason, even if that reason may not be obvious to us. So, I was wondering what would be a good alternative. Just leaving the platform as Switch would work, although it would be bland, and I think "SwitchClassic" would be too long and clunky. I'd like to hear your thoughts and maybe ideas.
Considering the actual service is called Nintendo Switch Online, perhaps "Switch Online" would be fitting.
Regardless of if it's called VC or something else it's still emulation, regardless of title.
Switch Digital? Switch Download? Nintendo calls it the eShop, so maybe something like that?
As long as it's obvious, I don't think it matters what we call it here, and VC is fairly easily identified as Virtual Console even if Nintendo is avoiding that name.
