Responding to the news about X, the former Platinumgames co -founder and current founder of Clovers Hideki Kamiya, who regularly publishes about his love for the classic games, criticized the movement, asking for the return of the virtual console service, which was available in Wii, Wii U and 3DS and allowed to buy individual games.
“Hello, hey, hey, I suppose the subscriptions are not good after all,” Kamiya wrote. “Seriously, bring the virtual console back … Don’t be so bad.”
It should also be taken into account that numerous retro games were also eliminated from the virtual console over the years, including teenage ninja turtles, Yoshi’s Cookie, Hortfall: The Mayan Adventure, aesthest, Simcity, Street Fighter II, Final Fight 1-3, Super Turrican 2 and Super R-Type.
