No Virtual Console on Switch says Nintendo (by Kotaku)

[SuperNova]

Getting happier by the minute that the NES/SNES classics are so hackable.

I loved the Virtual console. It was one of the reasons I got into the WiiU. I loved owning the games and being able to actually buy them with minimal hassle from the official source. I'd have probably rebought some of them and surely gotten into newer VC systems like GC on my Switch.

If all I'm getting now are 20 NES games (and really pricey Arcade classics/Neo Geo games), I'm not going to lie, it's going to push me back towards piracy. I wan't convenience and I want the assurance that my games will still be there in 10 years, when Nintendos online service in it's current incarnation will probabably be a thing of the past.
If Nintendo decides to make that hard for me through legal means, I'm going to resort to the more convenient option. I wan't to give you money for your old games Nintendo. Keep them easily accessible.

Now if they really flesh out that online service library, with more systems and releases as well as third party games (if not systems, I guess we can kiss the sega systems goodbye..), I'd be kind of ok, but still not happy with it.
Like I said, I prefer owning my games, compared to renting them.
