Thanks big guy!

I wonder how long it'll be until America gets its next VC game...

I also think Europe will be seeing games at a rate of one per month now. Which is still pretty slow but better than nothing.

Sonic 1, 2, & Knuckles being removed from VC in Japan? If that is not a sign from Videoland that the VC is dying, I don't know what is!

Well as long as Final Fantasy IV and VI stay for now....I still plan on getting them

I remember many eons ago when I would get up every Monday morning (or whenever the VC was updated) to see which VC games were added to the VC service. Playing some of my favorite retro video games on one console was like heaven on earth.

Nintendo broke my heart when the precious VC was killed off. I though that I would die from being betrayed by my childhood love...until I said eff Nintendo and fell in love with Sony.

Nintendo gets lamer and lamer every year, and Sonic games being removed from the VC is the icing on the cake. I predict that all VC games will be removed by the end of 2012. Also, physical media looks better than ever before.

Mmmm, sweet delicious cake

Those Sonic games are superior Sega games and don't belong on a Nintendo console. Makes perfect sense why they are being removed.

lol zerks, your SegaLife roots are showing

cartridges 4 Life

I am more likely to have a cartridge or disc stop working on me than a download.

Screw Sonic, and the smelly pirate hooker horse he road in on!
Ya....Sonic aint one of my favorite franchises as you can tell hehe.

And do you hear that?.....Strider, STRIDER, STRIDER!
Seriously though, why does the VC have to be on life support? For shame Nintendo, All things aren't right in VideoLand. only Konami can fix this by giving us Contra, Castlevania: Bloodlines and Contra: HardCorps.

At least we're getting games again. Even if they are few in number. Seems to be regular or semi-regular at least.

What Heavy_Barrel said

Cartridges are indestructible! Sure you may have to change a battery every 20 years but as long is you don’t submerse them in Who Framed Roger Rabbit style Dip they will last longer then your corruptible bit of downloaded data.

Not only that but if your cartridge is destroyed or whatever unless its some ultra rare game you can probably track down a copy of it on Ebay or such where as if you have a downloaded game and the company has pulled it from the store your S.O.L.

plus, theres some youtube footage showing carts being put through multiple abusive tests.

If videogames end up being downloadable only in the future i'll be deeply saddenred. There's nothing better than having a physical copy of a videogame or movie! Hell, i'd love to get a physical disc based on aWii copy of Mega Man 9 and Castlevania ReBirth.....WiiWare's cool and all but I'd rather have the actualy copies.

I'll stop gaming when everything goes digital only.
