@SLIGEACH_EIRE That's because that game is not guaranteed to come out on the Switch. Sure, it's reached its Kickstarter target, but console releases of the game are a long term goal. That YouTube channel is not to be trusted, as the person running it barely speaks any English, and posts game trailers up where the Kickstarter says there may be a Switch version coming (though the game running in UE or Unity helps too). All this guy does is put a Switch logo in front of the trailer. Nowhere else does it intimate a Switch version of a game is coming for definite, nor does it appear on the official trailers.
@skywake It should be pointed out that online play doesn't necessarily equal online multiplayer. It can include that, but it can also include leaderboards and perhaps weekly/monthly challenges.
I would take that to mean that the majority of NES games will just include online leaderboards, while the few multiplayer games would include online multiplayer.
@Bolt_Strike Why don't you ask for a free yacht while you're in la la land?
I don't really care how they do it, whether it's traditional VC or a subscription service. So long as I can play Mario 64, OoT, Sunshine, the Metroid Prime Trilogy and Galaxy on the same console as BotW, Mario Odyssey, and Sonic Forces. Any scenario that makes that possible is welcome in my book.
Don't think they'd include N64, GCN, or Wii games in the CGS. They'd lose money that they get by selling them individually on the VC. Of course, that's assuming it's an accumulating library and titles aren't taken off.
@IceClimbers Yeah, it looks like we'll be lucky to see anything other than NES games in the CGS - no bad thing, I still think it seems to represent good value for money all things considered ..I'd say that there's a reasonable likelihood that we'll see most/all of the games that @Bolt_Strike listed in one form or another however - whether it be ports, VC or a new system
Additionally, the Wii U had about as much as I'm proposing for the Switch. Wii U had NES, SNES, GB, N64, GBA, DS, and Wii. My list just swaps DS for GC. There really isn't much left to use as a selling point that hasn't made it to VC, GC, 3DS, and Wii U are the only major systems that haven't been re-released on VC.

Yeah, and that would make a lot of sense for a lot of NES games. For a lot of classic games, especially on the NES, that version would be the definitive version. The NES did exist alongside arcades so a lot of games were built with that mindset. But for other games it doesn't really make much sense. Would anyone really care about a score focused version of Zelda or Metroid? And going into the more recent classics how would they shoehorn an online mode into Earthbound, Ocarina of Time and Metroid Prime?
I think at this stage we should just assume that this is something separate to the VC. That the subscription will give us access to a small percentage of classic titles that are modified with some kind of online mode. And that because Nintendo likes money the VC will continue as a separate thing entirely. At least for the games that aren't modified to work with online.
@skywake it could be more interesting though. Perhaps they really go to town and hack up those games. Maybe we get simultaneous play in SMB3 where you can see a 'ghost' of your rival in the level with you for instance?
I doubt that of course but Nintendo know how successful the NES remix games were (& presumably how cheap they were), they have the skills to do it and one a month hacked to various degrees of ambition would be doable.
Maybe that's part of the reason it was originally one a month to begin with?
@StuTwo
Maybe. Though the more they do with them the more likely the VC will continue. Which was the point I was making. If these NES games they hand out with the subscription are entirely re-worked releases of NES classics? They're going to be entirely different from the VC.

@Tsurii You'd be fine with another Other M but not with another Prime, as if that isn't closer to a proper Metroid?
I mean, opinions and all that, but that's quite the hot take.
I liked both. Other M was great... But Prime was timeless. I'd still be down for an Other M styled game, but Prime 4 would be preferred. Honestly, as long as it's good I'll have no complaints
