@Bolt_Strike: Wario World in portable form would be so cool. I know it's not a great Wario game, but it's one of my favorite GC games because it's so crazy fun, and it's special to me because it was my first Wario game!
I also want to see Star Fox Adventures, Star Fox Assault, Kirby: Air Ride, all of the Mario sports games, and Mario Party 4-7. Could Pac-Man World 2 be possible?
Ooh yeah, I'd love to see Super Mario Strikers too.
I hope Super Mario Sunshine is indeed one of the first gamecube games, I was hoping for an HD version but I'll take what I can get. I would love to see MK: Double Dash down the road. I'm wondering if Gamecube VC is indeed on the Switch, if it will have save states? It would make getting the Golden kart in Double Dash so much easier.
@G0dlike
Not sure if they'll release Wii VC or not. It would have to be playable with Joycons motion, so GameCube would be better suited to normal play portably without taking the Joycons out and using like Wiimote

I think this is worth mentioning. Apparently, despite the rumors, neither the Joy-Cons nor Pro Controller have analogue triggers. All triggers are digital. Now maybe they could still be pressure sensitive, but good luck holding out hope on that one.
I think this casts GameCube Virtual Console into doubt, but we'll see.
@DylanMcGrann We still have 1 hope, the Gamecube adapter. If the rumor of a Smash Bros 4 port is true, then they'll HAVE to either make the adapter compatible or make a new one for the Switch. For a lot of the hardcore fans, that was the deal breaker in regards to jumping onto buying Smash 4 for Wii U and they went ahead to add GC controller support. The hub does have 2 USB ports at the front don't forget, not to mention the endless waiting for the last 3 amiibo.
And if they're doing that, they may as well make GC downloads work with the adapter. Sure, you'll need a GC controller, but in the days of the Wii you needed to buy a Classic Controller for the SNES and other VC games or indeed, an GC controller. Won't effect Switch controller sales, not if Smash 4 and GC games are the only games you can use a GC controller for..... XD
@Angelic_Lapras_King The adapter could be part of a GameCube Virtual Console, but Nintendo is very unlikely to lock Virtual Console titles behind an accessory, especially for a system that's meant to be portable.
I think our best bet is some solution around the pressure sensitivity of analog controllers on a title-by-title basis. That might mean having to manually rework some games, and some games outright won't work or work very well. I'm thinking along the lines of the various screen options for the DS Virtual Console on the Wii U. A set of options like that in the settings but for trigger behaviors could be one solution. Though I don't really have any good ideas on that front.
Maybe something like:
Option 1) pressing the triggers always equals 100% pressure
Option 2) pressing the triggers eases from 0% to 100% pressure over 1.5 seconds
Option 3) pressing the triggers eases from 0% to 100% pressure over 4 seconds
Option 4) pressing the triggers and tilting the controller using the gyroscope to change pressure
That's about the best I can think of. I need to go back and play some GameCube games (I still own a good number of them). I don't quite remember how integral to each game the analog triggers were.
Without analog triggers, I think the prospects are quite bad for a GameCube Virtual Console. But we'll see my hopes aren't 100% squashed—only 98%!
@Whitewatermoose Not really. All Nintendo has said is NES and SNES games will be available, and that those who pay for the online service will be able to play a selection of those games each month and will also be able to play those games with online multiplayer for the first time. They've said they plan to announce more about the Virtual Console and online features at a later date. That's all we know.
