Nintendo has filled fans with some seemingly false hope of a Switch 2 and Wii crossover (or, perhaps just me) after posting an official support page for an accessory that doesn't exist – the "Nintendo Switch 2: Wii Remote."
If you're anything like me, then you have fond memories of the Wii. Standing as one of the most successful (and nostalgia-inducing) Nintendo consoles to date, it's hard not to love the platform that brought us gems like The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and, of course, the ever-legendary Wii Sports.
So, it's unsurprising that some sort of comeback via the new Switch 2 wouldn't exactly be unwelcome – but it's probably not happening, at least, not right now.
Yes, an official support page on Nintendo's website has gone up for the currently nonexistent Switch 2: Wii Remote. However, when you actually attempt to click on any of the links for said "Wii Remote," you're redirected to the Nintendo Repair Center and not a specific sublink with details about the accessory.

That's not all, either. There also appears to be another Wii Remote page floating about… for the *checks notes* 3DS?
The "Nintendo 3DS: Wii Remote" is apparently a thing, too, which further solidifies that this is likely all an error or glitch on the company's side with its website. But, nonetheless, fans are going with it – and I love it.
On a post about the strange pages, someone comments, "Wii coming to NSO confirmed?" Someone else chimes in, "Hey, I would have no problem with it if they made them compatible." Same, anon. Same.
Other replies see folks in complete disbelief that this whole "Wii Remote" thing is real – which, yeah, it almost certainly isn't. "This doesn't mean anything," as one person points out. "They're just having problems with the website."
It would be nice, though, wouldn't it? A bit of throwback Thursday chaos (except on Friday, I guess), and with a little resurrection of offline consoles like the Wii and 3DS thrown in… sign me up.
Need something to wishlist? Here are some of the most exciting upcoming Switch 2 games to look forward to, if so.
