I'm calling it now, Nintendo are going to bring back the virtual console along with a Switch Pro announcement after March 31st and thats why there's such weirdness what with the Mario and Fire Emblem limited editions.
I don't know if it's going to be Virtual Console per se, because everything they've said and done until now really makes it seem like they're over that type of model. I would love to be wrong though!
My bet would be on a tiered subscription service that would vastly fill out the meager retro library we currently have. Though I've been saying this for a while and nothing has happened, so who knows!
March 31st is the last day of their financial calendar hence why these and other things like Mario Maker Wii U servers are being shut down etc are on that date.
@klingki I would not call the current situation "meager" as for 20$/year you have a very robust library of NES/SNES.
But I would not be surprised if the add game Boy and hope they add more tiers for N64 (GameCube?)
@Balta666 Sorry, I didn't mean meager in relation to price or value. I think what you get for just $20 a year is great. I meant meager in comparison to the universe of available legacy content, or even just to what we previously had available on the Wii, Wii U, and 3DS. I don't expect to get all of that for just $20, but for me, money is not the issue. I just want as much available as possible so that all options are on the table. Whether it be the VC model or a subscription service, I personally don't care that much. Just let us be able to legitimately play the stuff on a Switch!
