The virtues to having a free-to-stream Virtual Console (providing players dish out a monthly fee for Nintendo's online service) are endless, but there is so much more Nintendo can do with their in-built classic consoles.

A games system supporting handheld play just begs the inclusion of GameBoy, GameBoy Color and GameBoy Advance games, but perhaps Nintendo could go a step further and add N64 titles to the mix, creating a fusion of the Switch's streaming service and the Wii U's pay-per-game Virtual Console.

Given that Nintendo 64 titles were first added to the Wii's virtual console ten years after that earlier console's release, it's probably about time that the 19-year-old GameCube enjoyed classic status, too.

Adding titles other than already readily-available 20+ year-old games to Nintendo's classic console streaming service will go some way to better justify the online service's monthly subscription fee, though whether that should be kept at all is another story...
