The Virtual Console could be Nintendo's answer to Xbox Game Pass

Bring back the Virtual Console, you cowards!

Last week, Xbox held its Bethesda Joins Xbox roundtable and gave fans their first good look at what this partnership will mean for players, as well as developers. With the Zenimax deal finalized, Microsoft now has the teams responsible for DOOM, Fallout, Wolfenstein, and The Elder Scrolls series under its belt. To celebrate, Microsoft released 20 Bethesda games on Xbox Game Pass, its subscription service.

Xbox's first-party output was always lacking compared to Nintendo or Sony, but it's now acquired some heavy hitters, and future installments of games like Elder Scrolls will arrive day one "on platforms where Game Pass exists." The Xbox Series X has become the poster child for backward compatibility, and despite not having any "must-play" titles, Xbox Game Pass is, without a doubt, one of the best deals in gaming.

This isn't a move that Sony or Nintendo should take lightly, but in Nintendo's case, it doesn't need to spend $7.5 billion ...
