I'm sure that Nintendo's Virtual Console emulator series has made them quite a bit of money.

Well, they stopped doing it, so perhaps not.

They don't offer emulated games as standalone purchases anymore (and, frankly, the idea that they charged repeatedly for games is insane to me) -- instead, now it's tied to the Switch Online subscription service.

The library of retro games on Switch Online is laughably small and is one of my biggest gripe with the Switch compared to the Wii (U).

I've been curious whether Switch libraries will follow you to whatever the next Nintendo console is. They haven't done that in the past, but online purchases might be so common now that they can no longer get away with not doing it.
