If you have not purchased Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, And Super Mario Galaxy From the Nintendo Switch eShop yet, you want to go to it. Nintendo is removing Super Mario 3D All Stars – Bundle of those three games – on March 31, 2021. People who buy those games before will still have access access, but there will be no way for anyone else to buy them later. Body copies are still lingering in retailers, but Nintendo said it will stop sending new units.
Also, the multiplayer Mario Battle Royal Super Mario Brothers will disappear in its entirety on March 35-31.
Nintendo gives, and Nintendo takes.
but why? In an interview with Polygon, US President Doug Boser told Nintendo that it was simple: these Mario games were added as part of the celebration. It was to be a special, unique moment for the 35th anniversary Super Mario Bros..
“And with some of these titles, we felt there was a chance to release them for a limited time.” “They have done very well. Super Mario 3D All Stars U.S. alone Has sold 2.6 million units. And so clearly, customers will be able to jump into it and have fun. “
Despite June 2021, what about the players who bought the switch-in? When asked about this, Bower said, “Yes, at this point, the decision was really made around the specialty and aspect of the celebration. I can’t talk to plans ahead of the end of March. “
Like Eshop Games, Game & Watch Watch: Super Mario Bros. Handheld, which was released as part of the anniversary, will have limited availability. Nintendo only sells this quantity, and will stop sending them to retailers around March 31st.
Fans, in particular, still find it strange that Nintendo decided to sell these items – especially games – for a limited time. But for that, Bower said it was not a strategy that would be widely used, only “one [Nintendo] The thought was very unique to the actual anniversary. “
