‘The Super Mario Bros. 35-year existence ends on 31 March 2021 ‘
So you say there’s a chance Nintendo will not pull a handful Mario games at the end of the month? Well, there’s always a chance! But it does not look good.
As a reminder, Nintendo of Japan clarified the idea very quickly at the beginning of the month and explained that yes, they were planning to drop by Mario 3D All-Stars, Mario 35, and the Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. handheld. Now Nintendo of Europe is participating.
They even have an entire landing page, not just a tweet! The page explains: ‘The Super Mario Bros. 35th anniversary ends on March 31, 2021. After this date, the next limited time products and services will be released as special recognition of the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. will end or be removed from the sale. “
This indicates that you can of course download again All the stars if you have linked it to your account, even if it is removed from the sale; but, as expected, Super Mario Bros. 35 gets completely bogged down, even if you downloaded it, since it’s an online game. As for the handset, “The Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. system will be shipped to retailers until approximately March 31, 2021 and will be on sale while stocks last.”
So there’s a chance! “Clothing and other products” are also part of the core option. And the page does not mention Super Mario Maker for Wii U taken offline because Nintendo no longer likes to recognize the Wii U in any form or form unless you include employees who are no longer with the company.
Funny enough, Nintendo of Europe does notice this Bowser’s Fury, Mario All-Stars for Switch Online, and Mario Kart Live will “remain available.” Thank you!
