I know I am a bit late to the party, but as someone who purchased a lot of VC games, here what I think would be important:
1- Allow VC game owners ( from Wii, Wii U and 3DS VC) to repurchase these at no price with the switch, or, to be more realistic, at a small fee for an upgraded version. I fear that nothing could be said about Wii Vc purchased stuff not already transfered to a Wii U however...it's a a shame it is with the Wii that I bought the most of my VC games.
2- Garantee us that theses purchases with be linked to accounts and not to systems anymore, even if we don't benefit from this before an eventual Switch / 3DS sucessor
3- Don't mess with multiplayer in VC games anymore, like the New 3DS Super Mario Kart failure of the impossibility of enjoying multiplayer in GBA and DS games on Wii U VC, but I understand the latter was more complicated
4- Include a maximum of systems, like Game boy, Game Boy Color, Gamecube and hopefully a return of Sega systems (Genesis/Megadrive, Master System, but also Game Gear, Saturn and Dreamcast)...if possible Neo Geo, and some others
Now, we need to understand that, unlike the Wii to Wii U VC transfer process, the retrocompatibility is out of question, so we will have to be patient to get from the start this new Switch VC library build from zero, so be prepared to progressively be able to transfer some of your old games one at the time.
...and yes, I know that for the moment, it'a better not to hope for any non-Nintendo systems to join the VC library, probably excluding GB and GBC. The minimum has to be NES, SNES, N64, GBA and GC.
