How else do you propose a subscription-based service would work?

You know on PS+ how you get free games and you download them to play them, but when your subscription to PS+ runs out you no longer have access to them? Like that, except you'd have access to all the games on the virtual console, you'd just download them. Like you said, I also doubt that Nintendo can stream games to the 3DS effectively.

So, every time you boot up a game, it has to check your account?

At least you don't have to be online the whole time, I guess.
