Nintendo has removed a game from the Switch Online subscription service, setting a bad precedent for the future.

Nintendo has revealed that it will be delisting a retro game from its Nintendo Switch Online lineup for the first time in the service's history.

Nintendo Switch Online users are getting a new free game download that will allow free, limited access to one of 2024's biggest games.

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. No reason was given for the removal.

Nintendo is doing something the company has never done before: Next month, it will remove a retro game from its the Nintendo Switch Online’s classic catalog.

We’ve become used to the slow addition of Nintendo classics to the Nintendo Switch Online service since it launched in 2018, but some subscribers will apparently lose access to an old-school game on March 28.
