So, Nintendo made it so only pirates can get the digital game now?

Piracy is a service delivery failure
While it won't stop everyone, if that game were freely available I'm sure there would be several less folks emulating them right now
Emulate the old games. Unlike the original SMAS, 3d All-Stars added nothing to the experience that can't be done with emulation. I say this as someone who bought it.
I remember hearing from many people, "I wasn't going to buy it, but it's only available for a limited period, don't want to miss out on it".
I voted with my wallet, and didn't buy it. I lost the vote though, since it sold pretty well.
Which explains why they did it. They created some hype, and earned some money, and still kept it for making some quick money by remaster / re-release when needed.
Reads like it was written by an ai:
- drones on with tangential information
- doesn't answer the question
I mean the first sentence answered the question. It was available for a limited time due to 35th anniversary. Itâs a dumb reason but the answer is right there.
It's a rhetorical non-answer, "the 35th anniversary release was only available for a limited time because it was only available for a limited time".
There are hundreds of anniversary releases of games that are made permanently available - hence why people asked Nintendo why this one was given an artificially short availability so often that it became an FAQ question. They own the rights, they can sell it indefinitely if they want.
Eg: search Steam for 'anniversary' you'll find 600+ results.

These were always a terrible value. Just emulate them.
Straight to jail
I'm sure we'll all be surprised when those games are all rereleased at $70 each.
Hereâs why
âJapanese like it this way and weâre a Japanese company, deal with itâ is a perfectly fine explanation. Japanese consumers love limited drops.
Also, it should have had Super Mario Galaxy 2, it was crappy that they went from 4 games down to 3 for that All Star collection.
Why exactly are we still bringing this up? We all know it was a shitty thing to do... this post reeks of ragebait.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND
Please do not the game
at least post the link, this could have been any random SEO slop website for all I knew
Thanks. I've never had the urge so bad to click no on the "Is this info helpful" question before.
Yeah, I had to buy a physical copy of eBay for like 90 bucks. It was bullshit, but my kid wanted it for his birthday and I couldn't say no.
It's in the first three words of the article. It's celebrating the anniversary, so you buy it during the anniversary period. How long do you celebrate your birthday for? If you got a birthday present to celebrate your 35th birthday six months after you turned 50, is it still a 35th birthday present?
It's a dumb reason, but it is a reason
