Virtual Console On the Slide?


A recent article at vc-reviews.com has stated that Virtual Console use is on the decline, thanks partly to WiiWare. This isn't surprising, but what is really concerning to me is...

"...the rather worrying rumour that Hudson has scaled back its Virtual Console plans and the future of the service ends up looking even less rosy. Naturally we contacted Hudson for clarification on the gossip, and were told that the company is looking to focus on WiiWare rather than the Virtual Console. While the publisher clearly still has plans for the Japanese arm of the service, the lack of recent Hudson titles in the West speaks volumes; this change of plan means we may never see the excellent Castlevania: Rondo of Blood on the Wii."

Hudson, I could kill you. In a positive way. We need to do something to change your mind - don't keep all the good games in Japan... AGAIN!
