Does Sega`s AGES Announcement Mean the Virtual Console Is Dead?
(N4G Wii)

If companies like Sega are willing to bring classic games to market under their own steam rather than as part of the Virtual Console service, it would suggest that whatever Nintendo has planned will be very, very different from what we`ve become accustomed to on the Wii, Wii U and 3DS; Sega and other companies like it has presumably been briefed by Nintendo regarding its plans and has therefore decided to bring its vintage games to the Switch eShop as stand-alone downloads rather than as part of a system-wide classic games service.
