What do you guys think, do you think we will see more consoles get added to the service after GB & GBA or do you think Nintendo is pretty much done adding anymore consoles on NSO.

Many people are desperate for GameCube games to eventually come to the service, including me. However, im starting to lose hope on that since Nintendo unfortunately has largely ignored adding GameCube games to the virtual console in the past and based on how slow Nintendo been with the NSO service in comparison to prior years with the virtual console, it seems even less likely then before they'd bring it out now especially this late in the Switch's lifecycle.

However, more importantly I feel like Nintendo wouldn't want to put GameCube on NSO cause they'd rather resell GC games at a higher retail price then just add it to the service for a smaller profit. GC games are new and relatively modern enough for Nintendo to justifiably re-release them without needing to remake the entire game to make it look new and a game worth a retail price, all Nintendo could do with GC games is upscale them and they'd still look pretty modern, we've seen it with TP HD on Wii U. We already saw Prime remastered, to be fair though the Prime remaster was definitely an amazing remaster that was worth the price.

DS games might be more feasible, we saw it on Wii U VC its probably easier to emulate and I dont think DS games are modern enough to be able to be resold and remastered as standalone games. The dual screen might be difficult to implement on Switch however unlike the Wii U which was already asymmetrical like the DS.

The Wii & 3DS I'd also feel like Nintendo would rather just resell and remaster those games at retail than put it on the service, we've already seen Skyward Sword do this.
