Strange Nintendo decisions: Super Mario 3D All-Stars is a limited release, Super Mario Galaxy 2 is AWOL, and full price ports on Switch.
Mario, TMNT, Sonic, some of the best retro games live on the Nintendo Switch.
Nintendo has just provided some updated information on several of their Switch million seller titles via CESA 2022. As such, we’ve got some new sales figures for a few of these titles.
Awesome to see Bayonetta 2 get over a million and the Xenoblade games to do so well! Good numbers all around. Nice to see Nintendo recover after the Wii U.
With the release of the White Book, Super Mario 3D All-Stars lifetime sales hit a new total of 9.07 million.
I still have a sealed copy of this game. I heard it was going to be a limited release so I never opened it. I wouldn’t exactly call 9mil limited however.

It is highly doubtful this game will increase in value, especially on the level that some were expecting. This is one of those "limited" releases that isn't limited at all, like you said. Getting a sealed version of this and keeping it like that will not net you much profit, I can guarantee it.
Maybe they limited it to 10 million.
Limited lol
Nintendo get away with it again.
Nintendo played us yet again. Fattened up their pockets by using the coveted limited release tactic to gain profits by secretly releasing more than they said was available.
I feel this as bad as insider trading. There's a law broken somewhere here. It doesn't feel right. Bastards never again will I listen to their bs.
Who knew Nintendo could piss someone off just by operating as a business that likes money.
Are you familiar with the concepts of “bad business ethics” and “damaging the confidence of consumers”?
Making money for your business doesn’t always equate to a company doing what’s right.
I mean I'm pretty sure 99% of the people who bought the collection just wanted the games to play again.
Just a hunch though.
Well I wouldn't buy something they said was limited but didn't included any limited edition stuff. There was no special box or special edition items included so the writing was on the wall. Its like they were trying the old Disney tactic and telling everyone this would go back in the vault soon. Im more upset that it didn't include the excellent Mario Galaxy 2.
Remember amiibo's or how Nintendo was creating artificial Wii shortages! The Wii dominated the news without even having any good games. Parents most of the time are clueless and listen to what media deems popular or sold out.
It was stupid to make it a limited release to begin with. No matter, it is pretty easy to find used copies for people who missed it and want the collection. It is a fine collection, especially having Mario Galaxy which is a pain to emulate because of the controls.
Can they just do the Zelda collection already?! Yes we know Mario is popular. But damnit I want a Zelda collection of all the handheld games, including the 3ds remakes of Ocarina and Majora along with the great and underappreciated Link Between Worlds.
Good question. For a company with such light-hearted, happy-go-lucky franchises, they sure can be a shady bunch.
Nintendo gets away with everything.
The problem is that most people just don't care. In a way, they aren't giving Nintendo a pass because that conversation isn't even happening for them and no "decision" is arrived at. The problem with people who don't care either way is that it is, well, hard to get them to care lol. Its the same with CoD and Fifa etc. Most people aren't recognizing the faults and the shady stuff and THEN saying "ok thats fine". They don't even get to that step. They literally DO NOT CARE and that is a very hard thing to defeat. How would you make them care?
Nintendo is a brand that only needs to put its name in order to sell, it doesn't matter if the device or thing is good or garbage in the end it will sell some cause of the pure name only, Nintendo long ago forgot what gaming quality is, and currently is trying to move forward by exploiting the gamers nostalgia, and the current perfect example of it is that Mario Collection, "oh Mario this and that, so good , blah blah BS", if you think for a second and look what Nintendo has offered in the past months all the way to the past year you will realize their gaming library is really pathetic, but yet again here we are clamoring for Nintendo on how good it is cause the release of more freaking Mario games?, daaamnn seriously people let's higher up the game standards of Nintendo, the only reason why Nintendo won't make a decent gaming console is because of people keep buying their cheap devices and this is only because is name and not because the quality of their games, cause if were of the games with its currently library definitely that cheap device would stay on the retailers shelf for who knows how much time.
