What is the point?

The support in the past for virtual consoles has been poor. Which has me mind blown. Wouldn't be hard to have a digital platform that will always work on all systems going forward.

Sounds good to me - but just give me Mario RPG first dammit Nintendo!

I can definitely do with some Golden Sun, Pokemon Red, and Advance Wars on Switch though

I barely play online anymore, and 20€ every year to just have access to older games is not really worth it. I'd rather spend the money to own the games I want to play anyway.

Great feature if true.
GB and GBA had some classics.

There are probably 30-40 older games I would buy over time from older systems. Maybe more. And if they all cost $10 on average (I'm thinking N64 and GameCube, if they come out, will cost more than this but let's just keep it to an average), then that's $300-400 I would spend. I spend $20 a year. It would take twenty years of me spending that annual fee before I would have spent less on those purchases. And there will, I have no doubt, be many more systems and games added to the service by that point, so it may never be achievable to save more money by simply buying the games unless you only get 1-2 of them a year and aren't interested in the rest.

Nice !

Yes they need to add more games for NSO no doubt about it, we just got more NES and SNES for those online services.

The gameboy had a lot of fun games and it probably is a lot easier to add games, but I think that with the momentum Nintendo is having, adding N64 with online multiplayer for games like Mario Kart, Mario Party, Goldeneye(pretty much impossible), Waverace, Smash and other multiplayer games, could help boost a great feature of the switch that I feel it hasn't really taken off, which is the local multiplayer. It can also boost family interaction as parents that grew up with N64 could enjoy these multiplayer games with their kids.

With this same thing in mind, I wish we could get TMNT II and Chip n' Dale on the NES library.
