Most of the series has never left Japan.

Natsume hints that Nintendo is moving away from the SNES Virtual Console

But…there’s so many more classics Natsume is a pretty open developer/publisher, as evidenced byCeeCee’s Corner, a tumblr blog from the community manager that sheds some light on some of the practices of the current market.
