Rip Mario's 35th Anniversary

For those out of context: the game Super Mario Bros. released in September 1985, and it has been 35 years since. In mid-September, Nintendo announced the 35th Anniversary through a Nintendo Direct, and there were some 'event exclusives' there. Those mainly include the Super Mario Bros. Game and Watch, Super Mario 35, and Super Mario 3D All-Stars. While the Game and Watch and 3D All-Stars will still be playable after March 31st, Super Mario 35 will not. It's nearing doomsday, say our goodbyes to these Mario games.

• Super Mario 3D All-Stars
• Only available through scalpers now.

• Super Mario Game & Watch + Ball
• Also only available through scalpers now.

• Super Mario 35
• Gone for good.

• Ability to upload courses to Super Mario Maker on the Wii U (YOU CAN STILL DO IT FOR SMM2)
• I think you can still play online

One last So long, Gay Bowser. o7

We can only hope Nintendo says "lol just a prank bro" tomorrow.

 

And so we gather for Mario's upcoming execution...

 

mario fucking dies

 

why did they remove them tho

 

Mario 3D all stars because it sold better due to their promise to stop selling it (artificial limiting)

The special Mario game and watch because it's a limited edition product (probably in the same way as 3D all stars tbh)

Super mario 35 goes because Nintendo doesn't want to fund the servers for that game anymore despite its potential to have been extremely successful. A lot of people (including me) didn't feel motivated to play this game because we knew Nintendo would close it entirely in coming months and all our progress would be pointless.

Mario maker 1 upload servers close because the game is inferior to Mario Maker 2 and due to this it no longer needs to keep its servers running

 

To say a final goodbye to Mario, he ran out of 1-Up Mushrooms. At least now, he will be collecting coins in a Coin Heaven.

 

Not Heaven, the Overthere
