Yeah, it's just matter of time when you play Zelda and Mario on your PS4.

Maybe not on my PS4 but maybe on my... Nvidia Shield.

Hardly if you don't refer only to Wii games and you live in China.

But I gave you reasons, Wii was availible on all other markets (on all other markets they can just offer Wii titles through Switch Virtual Console and that will be most likly scenario), and thats not case with China, thats why this is specifically just for China market. Nintendo done something similar before, for instance ofering N64 games on iQue Player just on China market. Again, this specific agreement with Nvidia and only for China market.

But those aren't reasons to not release VC on other systems... so what if the Wii was released in western regions? Switch VC is irrelevant, not a reason to keep it from other hardware as VC isn't something that sells hardware. No one is buying a Switch to play old games.

Releasing a VC service on as many devices as possible can only be a good thing for Nintendo, and I definitely think its' something we'll see someday.

Of Course that VC is not irelevant, Nintendo makes money on VC and that's definatly one of reasons for owning Nintendo hardware on first place. Again, reasons for releasing only some Wii games only on Nvidia Shield and only in China market are very obvious: this is agreement only with Nvidia from obvious reasons (because Nvidia hardware in Switch, and other agreements, good relations between Nintendo and Nvidia, partnership that will last 2 decades..), and this goes only for China beacuse Switch is not out in China and Nintendo never was ofical in China while Nvidia is, and we dont know when Switch could be out in China and in which form, beacuse Nintendo cant realse alone Switch in China so they need local partner for something like that. Nintendo already done something similar before, thats why has iQue Player only on China market.
