Nintendo Switch Online Losing Its First Retro Game Proves Why We Need Virtual Console
Briefly

Nintendo has announced the removal of the retro game Super Formation Soccer from its Nintendo Switch Online service in Japan, set to take effect on March 28. This marks the first instance of a game being eliminated from the online catalog since its launch in 2018. Even players who have previously downloaded the game will lose access after the removal date. The situation arises from a licensing agreement that appears to be expiring in Japan while maintaining availability in other regions where the game was published by Nintendo. This change underscores concerns about digital ownership.
Nintendo is removing Super Formation Soccer from its Nintendo Switch Online catalog, marking the first time the company has eliminated a game since its service launched.
This action raises concerns for consumers, as Nintendo's service means that once the game is removed, players can't access it anymore unlike other services where games can still be purchased.
