The Best Alternative to the NES Classic/Mini?

People mention the Switch but I'd wait on that too. Nintendo is not good with releasing 30 year old games very quickly for some reason. There's no reason why day 1, all 30 titles on the NES classic shouldn't be available on virtual console. No reason at all. They shouldn't have to build special emulators for each game this time around. They should have one universal emulator for each console. If hackers can do it, then Nintendo should be able to as well.

I mean, this could be the first Nintendo console where you can play 64 games on the go or gamecube and even Wii games on the go. Nintendo has to do Virtual console right this time around.

When emulators get rolled out online, they often fail hard at a number of games, which then require patches to the emulator to suit each title. Nintendo would still be doing work on each game to make sure it played accurately (for the most part). Customizing a base emulator for each game is likely what they were doing for the Wii U anyway. 

Even the best free emulators bonk hard with certain titles - many games still aren't playable on common emulators in a 99% capacity... "Body Harvest," anyone? Being that people are paying for indivdual titles, these games have to run with 99.99% accuracy to not get serious backlash. The recent release of "F-Zero X" comes to mind.
