Sounds like once Paid Online is unleashed. So to will VC be released...going by his...
"In terms of Virtual Console, we’ve said that with the launch of Nintendo Online and that service, that there will be executions on legacy content as part of that, and that’s something that’s going to launch next year. And so we’ll detail that at the appropriate time.
I doubt that the VC will only be available with Paid Online but maybe they will tie each other into one another somehow. Like release VC but a section of VC will be "Paid Online" restricted. Or how PS+ does it where the PS Store has a tab that shows all the deals with just the PS+ service.
I personally think the best way is to follow the PS+ path. Have a large amount of VC games available on launch, release 2 or 3 games a month for free to download as long as you are a sub with the Paid Online service, with some other select VC games being discounted. Out of all the PS+ games I've downloaded from the service for free, I played only a couple, but its nice to have that service.
