Well if you think all of Nintendo's retro games are crappy then you must have thought the VC was crappy as well since this is the same thing but just a different payment model. So it seems you are just mad that Nintendo's online multiplayer service is no longer free. Well it is still much cheaper than the competition so think of it that way.
And are you kidding me? Of course there will be more than NES games and more than just those 20 NES games. Those are the games AT LAUNCH. Did you also complain last March that Nintendo abandoned every franchise except for Zelda and complained that the Switch was only ever going to have a handful of games because as we all know every system or online service launches with every game that it will ever have....
Show me which system had every VC game that would ever come out when the VC launched. Show me that and you've got a credible point. But since obviously that isn't true your point is absurd. 20 NES games available AT LAUNCH. More games will be coming regularly. Its the EXACT SAME THING AS THE VC, just a much much cheaper subscription model that gives us access to every single game instead of having to pick and choose which overpriced retro games you want to buy (and having to do that all over again with each new system, starting from zero).
People, it is STARTING with 20 NES games. Just like every Virtual Console, it is not launching with every game that it will ever have. For example, it looks like the Wii U didn't get its first N64 VC game until 2 YEARS after the launch of the VC. Anyone who is saying this service will only provide 20 NES games or only provide NES games is being absurd and is just trolling.

Uh nope as VC wasn't just NES games. "Of course there'll be more than NES" is just your assumption. Nintendo said there'll be more NES games, but didn't say anything about games from other systems. If we get N64 and GCN at no additional cost then perhaps I'll change my tune, but not a moment sooner.

Well yes of course if for some reason it was only ever going to be NES games that would suck. But I see no reason to assume that. Just as the VC has never launched with all systems, this service isn't launching with all systems as well. Obviously they are not gonna just throw away a lot of money by not offering SNES, N64, etc games in some way on the system, whether through this service or the eshop. But I see no reason to think they won't add more systems, just like the VC added more systems over time. When the VC launched they didn't announce every system that would eventually be available on it. Obviously only NES games would with no way to get other games would suck (though of course all the NES games available and with online play is itself freakin awesome and well worth the $20/year price), but there's no reason to think what we get at launch is everything that will ever be available considering that is never the way it has been.
