I love how Nintendo is handling their retro games on the Switch

I'm sure most switch owners would gladly trade being able to play their existing VC library on the Switch instead of online functionality added to 25+ year old games that were never designed for it.

I'm sure PS3 and 360 owners wanted their games to be transferred to the PS4 and XB1 as well. Its just not very profitable for them.

Yep. Virtual console games are totally the same as backwards compatibility. 100%. Great argument. Would make again.

Aside the fact that two wrongs don't make a right, last I checked,  Sony has been constantly getting raked over the coals for the PS4 not playing PS1 and PS2 games, or even digital copies previously bought on PSN? They have been getting shit for it for years and years. As it turns out consumers don't like getting nickel and dimed from anyone!
