I know it's highly unlikely but how would you react if Nintendo came out and said it wouldn't be supported?

I seriously doubt VC is coming any time soon.

They have to keep milking the mini classic consoles for scalpers to sell on Ebay.

After they release the N64 Classic and the Gamecube classic, the next Nintendo console will be out and Switch will be forgotten.

The classic consoles would sell regardless, nostalgia is a huge motivator.

I'd be extremely disappointed. I'd still keep my switch, but the fact of not having N64 and GameCube games on the go would be such a big missed opportunity, that my view of the switch wouldnt be super positive anymore. :/

I expect them to actually not bring out VC because nintendo are a bunch of idiots.

VC is not a question of if, but when. After all, why in the world would they NOT want to sell all of their NES games AGAIN? It's practically free money in their pockets.

I want both? They are actually do a good job of failing at both depending on what you enjoy playing. 

They have really slowed down on making new IP for sure, and they haven't released a quality Metroid in years. 

Plus we got new hardware we like, so the demand is high for all the games.

My reaction is Nintendo wants people to pirate games
Please understand. I don't want the NX to fail I just assume that it will.
Meh, I didn't care about it on previous consoles, I won't care about it now. I know what emulators are.

I'll be okay as long as we get ports of key games from Wii and Wii U (and ideally N64 and Gamecube). I'm generally not a fan of re-releases and remasters, but I missed numerous titles from the last few Nintendo generations and I am not motivated to go through the trouble of buying those consoles for a handful of games. 

My original SNES still works and I still have a bunch of games for it, so I'm not too concerned about games from that era. Also, retropie and various emulators are a thing, but I'd be willing to buy remasters/ports for convenience factor.

Definitely the second one. I have no problem with Nintendo living off nostalgia. I don't even think that's true...but whatever.

I like the series Nintendo has to offer. If they come out with a new IP here and there great! But I buy Nintendo consoles for Zelda, Mario, Donkey Kong, Pokemon, Mario Kart, Smash Bros., Fire Emblem, Kirby, Pikmin, Metroid, Star Fox, etc.

Same reaction as if it were announced to be coming soon, "meh." Still have all my retro consoles and games, plus emulators on my phone for portable purposes. I have no need of virtual console.

Well if they're expecting us to buy games we've bought twice AGAIN, they can f*** off. I'd believe Nintendo is stupid and cynical enough to not do VC.

No Virtual Console in the same style as Wii, Wii U and 3DS? Good.

They need to kill the "Virtual Console" brand and bring it back as the "Nintendo Classic" subscription service. Pay however many dollars per month and get access to every game on the system.

I have no interest in buying individual NES/SNES/64 games again. I only bought two or three VC games on Wii U and that was because they cost 30c. I barely even played them after that anyway.
Fact: Nintendo is the best, there is no point denying it.

I have Wii U and all my Wii VC library on it. I show my children the games of my childhood and let them get into it before bringing them up to today's games.

Switch not having it doesn't bother me at all. I think the half assed attempt on Wii U is a good sign they don't think it's worth the investment, and I'd rather all their teams spent time on making fantastic experiences on Switch.

Nice !
I plan to do the same thing (if I fail to get them away from games :) ). What is their reaction toward these games ?


Not trolling, but the best Virtual console will remain on the VITA, for obvious reasons :).

Wouldn't bother me, I have every Nes,Snes,Gb,Gbc,GBa,N64++ game I want on my handheld emulator system anyway (GPD XD).

I'm not going to pay VC prices for games anyway.

I've already been looking into various emulation machine options for this reason. I'd like something handheld like the GPD XD or another modded PSP/Go or even just a decent Android tablet and an 8bitdo controller. That's probably for the best anyway.

I'd be pissed for sure. The Switch with it's hybrid nature would be perfect for playing classic games from the NES, SNES, N64 and Gamecube on the go when you please.

Is there any reasonably priced portable machine that can emulate GCN flawlessly?

Wouldn't affect me at all as I'm 100% physical. Back when Club Nintendo was around I could at least pick a free VC game once in a while thanks to the points system, now there's literally no reason for me to care about eShop.

My $500 2 year old laptop emulates it flawlessly, with substantial upgrades. An Intel HD graphics chip is fine. Many Windows tablets would do the job.

    They're definitely done with the "Virtual Console" branding. They'll sell classic games under different branding from now on. Like the NES mini and SNES mini and the upcoming subscriber-only online-enabled NES games.

    It must be Dolphin being iffy on some of the recent versions because my 1060 3GB can barely run it at 1080p with 4x antialiasing. I've heard Dolphin doesn't play well with Nvidia cards.
