As long as I can press a button and see what friends are playing, I'm ok with Nintendo's "online".

I'd be much happier if they offered a monthly/yearly subscription to the Virtual Console on top of that. Make it available across 3DS and Wii-U and I'll pay extra. It would make Xbox Live revenue look like pocket change.

You mean paying like $50 a year and getting to play as many VC games as you want until your subscription ends? Now that would be the kind of "online" gaming I could see myself paying for.

I'd charge $50 a month but you get to take them anywhere you want on your 3DS or I'd tier it like Netflix. X games/month for however much. Makes perfect sense. People will still buy the replayable games as well as subbing. Hell, do it for Wii/DSWare too.
