Roasting on an open fire
Strangely, weirdly, annoyingly;severalMariogames are going away at the end of the month.
But while folks are dealing with that impending doom in different ways, Nintendo is blindly ignoring the critics. In fact, they recently tweeted out a little infographic of just how manyMariogames there were on the Switch, a marketing exercise that wassupposedto make the system look good, but with one exception; they put two of the “going away to the vault” games on it!
Right there isSuper Mario Bros. 35as well asSuper Mario 3D All-Stars, both of which are heading out, even at retail, for the latter. Fans have taken to“Thanos snapping” the games from existence ahead of time, with mockups like this tweet here.
Of course, Nintendo could have a change of heart after it squeezes every last sale from folks due to FOMO. And then they’d have their cake and eat it too, as they can frame it as “we listened to the fans.” But in any case, it’s a very strange, and very 2020-2021 move to even threaten to nuke them in the first place.
