Forums - Nintendo - Is Nintendo Abandoning SNES Games on Virtual Console?

If it means we get more N64 games, then I'm all for it.

I'll state the big elephant in the room: Emulators.



I don't see how this is a problem!?

For Wii U Virtual Console most of biggest SNES games (same could say for NES games) are already released, now N64 and DS games are in focus.



Seriously its much more to do with exhusting the available content.

Konami for example have release 8 out of their 45 games. Now that might not seem like a lot but out of the 37 unreleased games they no longer have the rights to 10 (such as WB cartoons, Batman, Turtles etc), a further 16 are Japan only release the vast majority of which are yearly updates to their Baseball series and speaking of sports games 2 more of those are ISS games, which arguably haven't aged well enough to warrant releasing.

So taking those away Konami have released 8 out of 9.

They've exchusted the SNES, simple as that.

Just a rumor for now. Don't know why people feel the need to take every bit of commentary as truth.


The only rumour part is that Natsume's experience will be the same for everyone dealing with SNES games on Virtual Console, but it's not like what they're actually saying is some nameless forum poster rumour :P

To me they just look like a regular Anfebious on a forum.

Natsu... what? Can you eat that? Never heard of them!

I'm not too fussed. Earthbound was the only SNES game I was really wanting, and Nintendo released it.

I'd rather seem them digging into some of the gems on the N64, GBA, DS, and maybe Gamecube. Unfortunately, Natsume has also said that Harvest Moon 64 on Virtual Console is out of the question. I sure wouldn't mind having Konami's titles though: the Goemon games, the Castlevanias, and Hybrid Heaven.



maybe they are going to put some on mobile going forward? Who knows



they cant do 10 systems at once can they ?

its time for other systems then they will come back to the snes ..

Maybe it's just that Nintendo is not interested in Natsume games for the SNES?

But the VC library for the SNES is already pretty good, if you ask me.

Good, as long as that means more N64/Wii/DS games. I want MK64, MP1 2 and 3, Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2, and others.
