It's Second Model, the OT+, was released in Japan on May 30th, 2027. The system is backwards compatible with Nintendo Switch Cartridges.
The system is primarily controlled via the controls on either side of the device. The player can also use the touchscreen to enter and exit menus. The Nintendo OT+ Retained this functionality, however with additional stylus support and less delay. To play Wii Games via the Virtual Console, the Player has 3 Options:
*Forgo the Motion Controls and use the built-in controls on the device
*Connect a Classic Wii Remote via Bluetooth
*Connect an OT Rod for better accuracy (sold separately)
==History==
===Development===
The development of the Nintendo OT is estimated to have began in Late 2021, shortly after the Nintendo Switch OLED Model was released. It was codenamed "Tyris" after Tyris Flare, a protagonist in the Golden Axe series. This was most likely due to planned Sega Saturn and Sega Genesis Emulation. As seen on the back of both devices, they were both designed in Redmond, Washington, rather than Japan.
===Leaks===
The first major leak was of the Prototype Tyris Logo, posted as an article on FISHCOM News at 10:28 PM EST on March 17th, 2022. The article grew like wildfire, gaining an estimated 10 million views. This is in part due to the extensive proof given by the site. More leaks were given on March 28th from the Quaketendo News Site, uncovering a beta logo for Super Mario Bros. 91 and the inclusion of Kirby in Mario Kart OT. On June 2nd, 2022, Shuntaro Furukawa confirmed the console's existence in an interview. When asked about the leak, he responded: "Well, Let's just say Fishcom is on to us." Once this information surfaced online, several articles and YouTube videos were created covering the topic. Up until E3 2024, no more major leaks about the system surfaced.

==Virtual Console==
The Nintendo OT's Virtual Console has a selection of games from these consoles:This is by far the largest Virtual Console Library of any Nintendo Console. Some speculate that the extraordinary large Library is the reasoning for the name of the console. Reddit User KLOX7 says: "Where do you think the name OT comes from? In my opinion, I think it's a shortening of OTEA, which is an acronym for "One To End All", as in One Console to End All Consoles. Why do I think this? Well, no sign of a true successor to the OT has surfaced, and plus, the VC Library is HUGE."
==Games==
These are all of the OT and OT+ Games that have sold over 20,000 copies as of January 9th, 2030.
