I'm personally thinking these would be a good start:

Super Mario Sunshine
Legend of Zelda The Wind Waker
Pikmin 1 and 2
F-Zero GX
Luigi's Mansion
Mario Kart Double Dash
Star Fox Adventures (and maybe Assault)
Metroid Prime 1 and 2
Super Smash Bros Melee

However, there are some things I'm wondering about how it could all work.

1. What happens to games released on the Gamecube and Wii? Like Twilight Princess? Do they rerelease them now, then again in a few years for the one with motion controls? Do they leave them because they're identified as Wii games?

2. What happens to New Play Control games? Is it even worth it to release Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, Pikmin 1 and 2, Mario Power Tennis, etc?

3. Will the version of Soul Caliber with Link as a playable character be available? How about the EA sports games where Mario, Luigi and Peach are playable characters?

4. Wouldn't a Gamecube virtual console be pretty pointless given that 90% of the games were on all three consoles? Does that mean the Virtual Console, Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network will have their own versions of the exact same games?
 
^This is Gamecube games, Mario 64 and Nintendo 64 games are already on virtual console and will also be available on Wii U, presumably.
 
I loved Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex when I was younger. The GameCube version lacked a few subtle things compared to the Xbox and PS2 versions, but I'd still like to see it re-released as a VC game. In my opinion, it was the last good Crash game until the series started going downhill.
 
I like that list Nin. I'd like to see Sonic Adventure DX and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle myself, but that's more of Sega's choice, not Nintendo's. It will get a lot of attention, if Nintendo just release a good list when it launches.
 
I think Nintendo will wait until after the Wii U for Gamecube games. The Wii can play Gamecube games meaning retailers can still mke some money off of them.

GameCube games aren't being released anymore, so retailers can't make money from new ones, anyway. And Nintendo aren't going to care in the slightest about stomping all over the second-hand market (not that it would really supremos it, anyway. The good N64 games still fetch obscene amounts of money, despite being on the Virtual Console).
