Famed video game designer and producer Hideki Kamiya has told IGN that he would love to see the iconic Virtual Console return with the Nintendo Switch 2. The Virtual Console was consigned to the grave with the launch of the current Switch and replaced with Nintendo Switch Online subscription service and its retro game catalogue. Here’s what Kamiya told IGN:
Well, speaking of new technologies, do any of you have any opinions on the Nintendo Switch 2?
Hirabayashi: This is something that we really can’t comment on from Capcom side at all, because yeah, it’s about the Nintendo Switch 2. Anything that comes out would come out from Nintendo.
Kamiya: As a personal comment, I personally would love to see the Virtual Console rebooted. That’s something that I would really want to ask Nintendo for.
