Nintendo removing game from Switch Online catalogue in Japan


Nintendo Switch Online's retro game collection is losing its first game - in Japan at least.

Today, Nintendo announced via a post on social media that 1991 SNES football game Super Soccer will be pulled from the Japanese Nintendo Switch Online catalogue in a month's time, on 28th March. Is Super Soccer being removed due to a rights issue - as is so often the case with other digital subscription services elsewhere? (It was also not an issue on previous Nintendo consoles, where retro games were sold rather than placed behind a subscription.)
