It’s not really streaming, though you need an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription to play them. Each emulated platform has its own downloadable app with all available games.
Basic subscription lets you play NES, SNES, Game Boy (original and color). More expensive NSO+ has N64, megadrive/genesis, GBA.
However after the Wii virtual console, most big third parties have since realized they can sell their old stuff themselves as remakes or collections, so the available library is very lacking in non-Nintendo stuff. Capcom, Namco, Konami, Square Enix are barely there.
However for Nintendo games and a few other good surprises, it’s cool. I mean I get (sort of) free Puyo Puyo Tsu, so, nice.
