I like how we the community members can vote for all 10 choices in the poll! :P


Also, I already made a topic about the 3-D All-Stars collection earlier this morning!

The limited timed stuff is dumb. Like, sorta alright with 3D All-Stars, but Super Mario Bros. 35 shouldn't be timed since there'd be no other way to play it after it's time limit expires. Hope Nintendo changes this.

I think that 3D All-Stars is pretty cool, but there are some things that I question about it. Like, why do they give you a limited time to buy it (even the digital version)? Also, they clearly showed off that Sunshine is now in 16:9, but 64 is CLEARLY still in 4:3, and most textures seem mostly unchanged. I would've been more happy with it if the games got full remakes instead of minor graphical updates. Also, I get why 3D World isn't included in the collection, but where are Galaxy 2 and 3D Land? It just seems so weird to leave them out. Also, it costs 60$. Crash: N-sane Trilogy costed less than that.

tl;dr: 3D All-Stars is questionable. I might buy it.

It’s great how someone made a joke about Bowser's fury actually to be called Bowser is a Furry and the joke got killed in just minutes after the direct.

One friend had long ago started an episode of SMBX called "Bowser's Fury", and I saw in one of the comments that he was told that he predicted the future, they are just coincidences.

Honestly about Super Mario 3D All Stars, it is basically the same 3 games but with better image quality, I don't know if it is advisable to pay to have it.

This is a pretty hard choice, I think I'm equally excited for all of them

If it would be cheaper maybe, but the current price imo is way to high.

So apparently there is a language issue with the Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros concerning the lyrics of a song that was included. Just a small heads up.

I've got Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii and Super Mario 64 DS for the 3DS, so I'd really only buy it for Super Mario Sunshine.

looks like people will have to listen to the song without the lyrics or confuse themselves more by trying to read the lyrics

In a Polygon interview with Doug Bowser, some information about the limited time releases of certain games has come out. Basically Bowser said that the limited time releases were to celebrate the 35th anniversary, and that he cannot speak about plans after March 31st. More information can be found in the following section of the following video. The reasoning isn't fully explained, but randomly mentioning something about plans after March 31st does hint at something happening after.

Reminder that March 31st marks the official end of the 35th Anniversary. With that comes the end of production for Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros, the de-listing of Super Mario 3D All-Stars and the shutting down of Super Mario Bros 35, and sadly there doesn't seem to be any sign that Nintendo will reverse this decision. Therefore you only have 9 days left to purchase/play these products. The related events, challenges and merch will also be going after this date.

It's honestly quite disgusting that Nintendo won't keep 3D All-Stars in production even digitally. Scalpers are gonna have a field day next month. Really hope Nintendo doesn't pull this crap for the Zelda 35th Anniversary.

That said, at least some of the other things will continue to be available. I personally love the Mario themed items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, 3D World + Bowser's Fury was a joy to play and hope to get Mario Kart Home Circuit at some point.

What also sucks is SMM1's online servers shutting down, meaning that you can't publish courses anymore.

Also that you can't play other's courses anymore. Although it isn't as bad since it was inevitable, albeit maybe happening sooner than normal due to the uniquely bad circumstances surrounding Mario Maker (the Wii U), and the same will happen to Mario Maker 2 eventually.

I'm glad I got to win at Mario 35 while I could. That game was actually quite good, and I really haven't got the foggiest idea why they absolutely have to kill it.
