Quote: Japanese publication Inside Games is reporting that several Sonic titles are being pulled from the Japanese Wii Virtual Console. The games that are being withdrawn from the service include Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Sonic & Knuckles as well as the Master System version of Sonic the Hedgehog. All these games will be removed from the Japanese Virtual Console this month. Clearly this is rather worrying. I know it's only in Japan, but is anyone else slightly concerned about this? I'm only curious, wondering what's Sega's reason for doing so.
