Remember that GBA games on Wii U removed multiplayer functionality. So no multiplayer for releases like Mario Kart: Super Circuit or Kirby and the Amazing Mirror for example. The 3DS re-releases of gen 1-2 were more expensive than those GBA games, at $10 for Gameboy games. Also Red & Blue couldn't be played in colour.

@CaptainQuo More games would be good for the service of course, but the N64 is the one system where the NSO re-releases far surpass the Virtual Console. Ogre Battle 64 is one game- there's like 20 N64 games on NSO that weren't on Wii or Wii U.

The GBA as you said is the real "shadow of it's potential"- no third party games at all so far, and only 25 games compared to roughly 70 on the Wii U.
