Even though Mar10 day was just yesterday, and Super Mario Bros. 35 is still getting timed events in-game, Nintendo isn't afraid to alert players that the game will soon go away, forever. The Japanese Nintendo Twitter account sent out a warning reminding everyone that by March 31st, the Super Mario 35th anniversary celebrations will end, leading to the de-listing of the online battle-royale Super Mario Bros. 35, as well as the ability to purchase Super Mario 3D All-Stars. While you'll be able to continue playing the latter so long as you purchase it off the eShop, Super Mario Bros. 35's servers will be going down on that date, rendering the game unplayable.

Two other items will also be going away on that date as well: Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light, a digital release of the NES game, localized for the first time in the west, as well as the Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. Edition. Presumably, physical copies of Super Mario 3D All-Stars and the Game & Watch will be able to still be found in stores, but according to Nintendo, it's only while supplies last.

It's no matter for me, because I own Super Mario 3D All-Stars since October 2020. I enjoy playing it a lot despite Super Mario Galaxy 2 is absent.

As for Mario 35, I don't care at all due to my avversion to online games.

Talking about the eShop...I wonder how long it'll be before Bravely Default II goes on sale...I want it, but the MSRP is AU$80, which is more than I can currently afford.

I didn't fully give in to the Super Mario 35 hype; all it is is an advertising gimmick. Also, I already got my copy of Super Mario All-Stars, thank God. I hope plenty of others did the same, else it's going to be hard getting them from scalpers!

I mean, the best way to experience most DS and quite a few 3DS games is via emulation - that is, unless the game has a lot of stylus control (I personally haven't found a good substitute for actual stylus usage on console) or the game has an amazing BootNTR plugin (since Citra doesn't support plugins, unfortunately).

For example, Pokemon Ranger (stylus) and Pokemon Ultra Sun/Moon (plugin).

I don't feel any remorse emulating their games, and if they want to curtail piracy, well that's too bad

lol about a Week ago I "forced" myself to buy 3D All Stars just in case I want it in the future but I'm having more fun than I thought.

I guess I should start saving for Skyward Sword HD and the rumored TP and WW ports just in case they pull the same crap.

I already have the games in 3D all starts in their original consoles and even still works. Well one of my Wii consoles overheats but the other is fine.

i prefer the Switch version of Galaxy simply because the resolution and how can be played without stupid motion controls.
Same reason why I'm so hyped for SSHD. I wanted to play the game but I couldn't pass the motion controls.

I have no problems using the Wiimote, I just hate much much energy it consumes.

not on the seven seas, things there lasts forever*.

Yeah, I remember charging the batteries of my Wilmote more often than my X360 controller.

it's going to depend a lot on mah. if you used a rechargeable battery pack with the 360 controller, it's just two double A batteries connected to a logic board. those batteries will work once removed, but their medium when it comes to mah (not terrible but not great either). the logic board usually fails with those when they finally die, then you can remove the batteries and they should work. as for normal batteries, the same rule applies. I spent hundreds of dollars on heavy duty batteries for all of my equipment, and I rarely have to charge anything.

 

[Gabberhead]

Is there any rumor for a sale for the 3d All stars on the eshop before they take it off from the Shop?

 

[Rafciu]

I never played Galaxy and Sunshine before so i picked up this collection and im really enjoying it. But whole removing thing is just ridicolous.

I never used the official Xbox battery pack I always buy those 4xAA rechargeable batteries pack.

It's just marketing,

How nice of them

Hopefully someone been working on a way to continue playing super mario 35 after servers die. (And all you need is a modified DNS) This is just odd ball for nintendo to do. Limited time availability of games? I didn't think it can get worst from 10 years ago when they released the Super Mario All-stars "SNES GAME ROM ON A WII DVD DISK" What a waste of 4.7GB disc for about 25MB.

Now is 3D Allstars which most people dislike for either being too lazy or costing the same price as any other game, and not having Super Mario Galaxy 2. Then a rather questionable copy of Tetris 99, that only last six months. I had also forgotten bout the fire emblem game also leaving. That got quickly forgotten. Probably cause while is nice that there is official localization, why would most people care besides curiosity? There was a localized remake already released on DS and wii u Virtal Console. That got less fanfare than "MAR10 DAY" does.

Are they really achievable with just modified DNS though? I'm pretty sure they have SSL certificate verification in place, and It is no longer NDS era where you could literally sign whatever cert you want.
