To tell the truth this is how i would do it.

Each game would range from $1 to $2 and there would be bundles for $4.99
A bundle would be 5-10 games. Something like all the Zelda or hand full of the mario games across the system gba, nes etc...
And i would port them all nes, gba, gb, etc...
IMO that would rake in the money. Its price to move and close to cellphone prices.

But we will see what nintendo does.
Nah, Nintendo Logic says if you are going to use a VC game to hack our system we are going to at least get $6.99 out of you.

Yea which is dumb.
If they priced them at $1 they would get a ton more people buying them. Just to try out and old game.

DS and 3DS were available on Wii U due to two screens available. That is not possible on the switch due to only one screen being active at a time, unless Ninty comes out with ANOTHER addon device to allow a Wii U gamepad (or like device) to be linked to the Switch.

Some DS/3DS will be available I'm sure, but not all titles like the could release with the Wii U.
Two screens can be displayed on the GamePad screen at once, which is good for Off-TV Play, so I'm seeing some chance of DS VC on Switch as well, having both screens on the Switch tablet.

Games that require analogue triggers wouldn't work on the Switch due to the fact that the NS controllers use digital triggers. However, I suppose Nintendo could rework around that somewhat to make it functional. But remember, with digital triggers it goes from 0 to 100 so you can't really control the water, air, speed or whatever.

There's hope for a Xenosaga port.

I suppose games where it is not possible/game-breaking to workaround the usage of analog triggers would just not be released.*
It is such a pity that after having such nice triggers on the GC they took them out never to come back in following consoles.

PS:* Or perhaps, as much as Nintendo likes to milk their clients, they will probably release a different wireless gamepad for each type of VC, a classic SNES VC controller, a classic NES VC controller (optional)... a classic Gamecube VC controller with analog triggers (required for Gamecube VC)... Oh, yes, €80 each, I see that happening.

They could use the analogue sticks but that would be so awkward. Yeah, the best way is probably just to not release them. :(

I've given up on the VC a long time ago, thanks to the bad way they handled it on Wii U, and moved on to unofficial (and superior) emulation.

To me, I do not care about Virtual Console games. The way they handled it on Wii U and more. I am fine with an emulators elsewhere if you know what I mean. :)

Wii U already emulates GBA, NES, Snes far superior, with superior colors, filtering options, cycle-accurate audio, full speed. Sorry Nintendo, but you screwed us over far too many times with shoddy handling :P

to be honest, they need to make it a way that you buy 1 copy of the vc software, then you can play it on ALL devices.

now you have to buy them seperate on all devices, that just suxxxx

Oh I totally forgot about those emulators for Wii and Wii U as well. Oh, yeah! :)

The fact they run perfectly, no audio or video issues, have fast forward and rewind, save states, and run almost every known commercial ROM, that tells me Nintendo only half-assed their emulators XD
