Nintendo wants to remind you that Super Mario 35 and 3D All-Stars disappear at the end of the month

7dafLWT.png

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.

Is there any chance of preservation for Super Mario 35 to keep playing it on hacked Switches?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Super Mario Bros. 35 had a ton of potential. They could have had the original Super Mario Bros. mode be free to play, with expansions for Super Mario 3, World, and New available for like $10 each or something.
That would have been a rather kick-ass business move. Though $10 each edition seems steep, $2.99 each or a $10 bundle pass sounds more like it.

Most likely through Yuzu or the other Switch emu.
The NSP should be out there already, it's just a matter of them enabling online play (if it's not there already) and you could most likely continue playing it on PC.

As for emulation, local play should still be a thing, probably some hackers will jump on and try to enable a way to make it playable without Nintendo's piece of shit online service.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but could it also run on an actual Switch via game patching on homebrew? Kinda like Wiimmfi for the Wii and Pretendo for the Wii U?

Mario 35 was quiet funny

What exactly about it made you laugh?

I bought a Mario switch at a scalped price, which I returned, after finding them easy to find, so it seems when I think something is going to be hard to find, it usually isn't, and the other way around. :(

I don't know why you thought it was going to be hard to find when the majority of people think it's one of the fugliest looking systems they've ever seen. ;)

Probably, yeah, but the game itself would need to be hacked for that.
I'm unsure if it has right now, but I doubt.
Probably, once the game is actually not sold anymore, more people would jump on this and make it possible.

If someone was going to do this they should start logging server calls/responses before it goes offline.

A game that's just a rom of Ocarina of Time on a $60 Switch cart, but it's only available for 2 days before they chuck them all into a fire.

I was thinking Master Quest 2, where it's the same ROMs from Master Quest, but they changed out the icons for Switch icons and called it an upgrade.

In all seriousness, I'd love to see Oracle remasters, or at the very least a collection of the 2D and 3D games separately. I'm hoping for something really cool.

But I know it's just going to be Zelda Picross and some terrible sales. "Breath of the Wild for the Switch, now 5 whole dollars off!"

:(
