Dataminer finds mention of 4 emulators in the Switch Online NES app

Dataminer Oatmealdome has been snooping around inside the Switch Online NES app, which has lead to the discovery of something very interesting. In the source code, the app makes mention of 4 different emulators. Those emulators are...

- Kachikachi (NES Classic)
- Canoe (SNES Classic)
- Hiyoko (???)
- Count (???)

The Switch Online NES app plays NES games in almost the exact same way that the NES Classic does, which makes it no surprise to see the same internal emulator being used for the app. Following that, it's not too surprising to see the SNES Classic emulator 'Canoe' mentioned here, as a big list of SNES games was just discovered in the app by dataminers earlier today. As for what Hiyoko and Count are, the only thing we know is that they're emulator names/codenames. Now what platforms they emulate remains to be seen.
