UPDATE! Megaton Virtual console subscription incoming?! Emily Rogers hinting at secret sauce in that 8.0 3ds update...?

Subscription sounds so unnintendo, the cross-play is much more plausible since it halfway exists already.
What I would like to see is a NNID share between a pair of home consoles and a handful of handhelds.

If a subscription is what it is, a whole eShop one would raise an eyebrow from me.
