licensing doesn't seem simple and could be more of a headache than worth the cost. Especially since some of the VC on Wii were games on consoles outside of Nintendo's portfolio (i.e., Sega Master System, Commodore 64, TurboGrafix, Arcades, etc.). Yes, Neo Geo games are on Switch, but SNK seems more than willing to put those games on the new console anyway. From what I remember, Sega no longer wanted to participate in providing their games on VC during this current gen and preferred to release them on their own accord. Also, there were licenses like TMNT that expired and were removed on VC.
