I will say it once again, a streaming platform that grants Nintendo's old games let alone newer more expensive titles for a low cost annual or monthly fee will lose them money on potential resales via VC or rerelease/port/remaster as they have done since the beginning. This isn't like with Netflix or music streaming subscriptions the cost to maintain games either live streamed to devices or a platform that let's the player download the games but still provides Nintendo the ability to cancel their access once the subscription is over would be nuts and difficult for them to maintain.

Only way it could work would be if it became a Steam like service but since Steam exists and their relationship with third parties is weak how could such a platform be anymore viable then what they already have?
