Fantastic news. A pity that so many of these games can't be legitimately released on virtual consoles due to copyright issues but at least they'll be preserved.

Wish consumers had a right to override license deadlocks. Sort of "make an agreement or you'll both lose the exclusive rights" way.

I think the best solution will always be far, far shorter and limited IP rights.
Take for example a potential solution for software: 10 years after release and it's free for all. (The owner is not required to release sources, but anyone can reverse everything they want)
This would solve an incredible amount of issues. Naturally, a game that includes stuff like music and art would require additional considerations... but welp, I do think the solution to that is too, shorter and more limited rights.

They'll be dumped and preserved. The question is whether someone will come after them if they're made available on a web site. There's plenty of places to get dumps from lots of different consoles but their legality is highly suspect. They usually say you can only use the dumps if you have a legitimate copy of the game on the original media but even that's not entirely true with things like the DMCA.
