But Twitter user <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link-external\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OatmealDome\/status\/1516179053870563332\">OatmealDome<\/a> noted that the Git repository used for the project indicates that the image of the EZ-Flash cartridge was added by a Nintendo Europe Research &amp; Development employee\u2013whose name and email address is listed\u2014on August 7, 2020. While faking a Git repository and setting specific email addresses and names when making commits (a snapshot or milestone along the timeline of a Git project) is technically possible, doing so would apparently take a lot of time and effort. Traces of code in the Game Boy Advance emulator also <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link-external\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OatmealDome\/status\/1516167254265798657\">appear to indicate<\/a> it was co-developed by Panasonic Vietnam.<\/p>\n<p>As for what this all means\u2014the speculation is that these are emulators tested for an eventual inclusion in the Nintendo Switch Online subscription service, which currently features games across the Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo Emulation System, SEGA Genesis, and Nintendo 64 libraries. But whether that ends up true remains to be seen.
