I honestly think they're going to trickle out classic releases like they have with Mario Bros. and Punch Out!, but forego a format Virtual Console. Its true that they haven't come out and said they're not bringing it, they have stated that they have no plans for it at this time. But who knows, maybe they drop a bomb at E3 and announce its coming or the online service will be adding far more titles to fill the role of the VC.
