At this point I think we can all agree that we shouldn't have skyhigh expectations. I am very sure that heavy hitters like Earthbound, Super Mario RPG or DKC will eventually be added, but we shoudn't expect them every time. Nintendo is very patient with bringing the big guns to the service. Also I think it's naive to ask for the entire library of all past Nintendo consoles at once and right now. This service is supposed to be relevant for years to come, so of course it's going to be prolonged in very tiny doses.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not going to sugarcoat this, I just want to address some of the frustration in this thread. Just be patient, guys. There will be better updates.

These are 25+ year old games, not new AAA blockbusters. It's perfectly reasonable to have expected them to build off of the virtual console's library rather than start over yet again. There's no need for drip feeding, as you can see it's only done harm. This service is already forever relevant, you can't play online without it.

Yes, these are 25+ year old games, and yet many of them are still in high demand, whether you like them or not. There are plenty of people who look forward to play these games, even though I will say again that this february update is shallow indeed. Of course your opinion about them is fine, no doubt, but it's not applicable to others. Like I said myself in the op, I look forward to Shadow of the Ninja.

Also, what harm has the drip feeding done? You lost me here.
