Get Super Mario 3D All-Stars on Nintendo Switch before it's gone forever

Nintendo won't sell this limited edition game after March 31. Get it for $56 while you still can.

Perhaps I can gauge the community with the following, but are we collectively happy with the selling of limited edition (Digital) games? :S

Edit - Wanting to clarify, It does have physical copies, I just don't approve of the digital approach.

Vanfernal1158d ago

Absolutely not. It is a business practice that has no point but twisting peoples' arms into buying the game out of fear of missing out. And for some reason Nintendo apologists will justify this clearly anti consumer move. It sets a horrible precedent for limited time digital games.

I get paid over $90 per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I'd be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless. Heres what I've been doing,

@someone72

All people who buy a Switch after the date will not have a chance to buy the game. So you are blocking off late adopters and new customers from enjoying the Mario classics.

njitram20001158d ago

Of course not. It's absolutely ridiculous. If physical had completely died out, then maybe. But even then it would be simulating the rarity of physical and ignoring the ease with which anything digital can be duplicated.

CrimsonWing691157d ago

No! There’s no reason to make this scarce except for the ol’ “get it now or wait till we bring it back out of the vault”. It creates a real scary precedent for game releases, like sometimes I wait for Black Friday sales... can’t with this game and I think Nintendo is doing this with another game. It’s pretty slimy, if you ask me.

Amplitude1157d ago (Edited 1157d ago )

This is actually the move that caused me to sell off all my switch games and stop collecting for it lol

LimitedRunGames and SuperRare, sure, but this was absolute bs and really turned me off from collecting for the switch or supporting Nintendo anymore.

Lower the price to under $20 and I might start thinking about considering it.

Anti-consumer bs. Literally no excuse for this beyond exploiting FOMO.

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.

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.

Knushwood Butt630d ago

Maybe they limited it to 10 million.

Limited lol

Nintendo get away with it again.

HeliosHex630d ago

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.

Sgt_Slaughter630d ago

Who knew Nintendo could piss someone off just by operating as a business that likes money.

CrimsonWing69630d ago

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.

Neonridr630d ago (Edited 630d ago )

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.

HeliosHex629d ago

Lol I wasn't one of them.

brewin630d ago

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.

Necr0philiac629d ago

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.

brewin630d ago

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.
