I don't, I'm not interested in crappy NES games, yet I'm being forced to pay for them if I wanna play many of my Switch games.

Yeah I agree this new model is sooooo much better for Switch owners than what the Virtual Console is. It amazes m that anyone is complaining. All they did was change the branding and they're giving us a MUCH better deal. Instead of paying what like $5 per NES game, $6 per SNES game, and $10 per n64 game, we're gonna get a load of all those games for only $20/year. This is so so much cheaper I can't believe Nintendo isn't charging $40 or $50 a year for online. This is a ridiculous steal. We are eventually gonna have a large library of NES/SNES/N64 (and I guess probably DS games since Wii U had them) for only $20 a year.

And if you only ever buy 1 or 2 VC games per system then why are you complaining, obviously if you only buy a couple games you don't care about the VC very much, so that is a made up reason to complain.

Let's say 5 years of Switch online and you get (besides online multiplayer) access to every single game of what will eventually be dozens and dozens of NES/SNES/N64/DS games for a total of $100. You've realllllly gotta make a stretch to complain about that.

It hasn't been confirmed yet if we're getting anything beyond NES.
