Resellers crying right now with 20 copies

This has to be the best Nintendo limited release in a while. They actually released such high stock physically unlike other releases of say 3DS systems etc.

[benthecat]

Theory 2 makes sense to me as they likely made a surplus to where they can't really store a bunch of extra games and make all of the stores return the however many copies they have in stock, they're probably just not making any more copies

[GonzoGoesToBitburg]

What did you think they would do? Burn the unsold copies? They are clearly selling the remaining units, but they are not producing new ones.

[deepmind]

I still see this game on sale everywhere. My guess is that Nintendo just printed an over abundance of copies after they saw it selling so well. They printed far more copies than they initially told us they would and they now have a surplus of inventory that they are still trying to get rid of. A simple port has sold better than metroid, Kirby, second tier Nintendo series.

I worked at retail during this timeframe. We still had some copies left of the game after March 31st, but once they sold, that was it! Nintendo just wasn't restocking the game for retail stores.

[Julayla]

I got it when I did. However, ever since last April, I was unable to find my own copy and can't figure out where it was. And I feared it got stolen or something like that. Sometimes it's bad to have physical copies at home when you live in a house filled with messy things

[Goofygooberyeah]

I've seen it in Walmart before plenty of times past March 31st. Maybe they had extra copies laying around? Or they just meant digitally and not physically?

If theory #3 (3D All-Stars 2 being released, with 3D All-Stars 1 being available again) becomes a reality, then ALL the mainline 3D Mario games (including 64 DS) will be available on the Nintendo Switch. I hope for this more than a new 3D Mario title, especially since we got a new one last year (Bowser's Fury).

…I bought the physical copy because I thought that would be more impressive of a collectors item after the end of it… but apparently it’s the other way around

[mynamehasspacesinit]

Nice to know retailers and Nintendo learned their lesson after the NES and Super NES Mini, because I don't recall anywhere having a shortage of 3D All-Stars.
Dare I say, there was even a surplus in stores possibly to prevent another NES Classic Edition situation

[wiiufan]

I'm pretty sure Nintendo meant that the game wouldn't be available *digitally* after March 31st, physical copies can still exist. It's not on the Switch eShop anymore.

Funnily enough in Mexico they had to make more copies due to the videogame rating system changing in May 2021 (they just made/printed more ESRB rated copies but added a Mexico rating sticker onto it), however it gets weirder as Nintendo also made 16 GAME BUNDLES as of 2022 in Mexico with 3D All-Stars and another Mario/Nintendo game included, that basically means in Mexico, this game sold EXTREMELY WELL than in other countries and it's a money maker for Nintendo in the country so they keep selling it to this very day officially

[MeesterTweester]

This game's "limited release" is a joke compared to permanently shutting down Mario 35 after 6 months

[ChezBlos]

I loved the hype for this tho

The preorder was worth it for me I love all 3 of the games dearly

[shadouraito]

I think what they meant by "limited release" was when they'll stop production.

[PieStudios]

2:27 no, that is a third party reseller. Just because it says “By Nintendo” doesn’t mean it’s being sold by them. It basically just means it’s a Nintendo product.

[internetmonkey]

This was the greatest April fools joke of all time

[awesomemercerdude]

My assumption was that they were going to stop producing copies after March 31st, not stop selling.

I still see dozens of copies at Target, and it’s September of ‘22.

I just got Super Mario 3D All-Stars a month ago. I got it mainly so I could play Super Mario Galaxy for the first time.
