Nintendo will no longer be selling Super Mario 3D All-Stars or Fire Emblem 1 on Switch after today. Additionally, Super Mario Bros. 35 will be removed.
What do you think will happen to these games?
I can definitely see Fire Emblem 1 being released for Nintendo Switch Online somewhere down the line. Finally translating the game and then taking it down after only 4 or so months is incredibly wasteful.
I feel less sure about the Mario games. I see a lot of people thinking that Nintendo will release Super Mario 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy separately on the Switch eShop. But Nintendo hasn't done such separate releases before for Kirby or Metroid.
Super Mario Bros. 35 may get a boxed release like Tetris 99 did before it, but Tetris 99 is still available digitally as well. So I feel like this game is just going to vanish. It wasn't too hard for Nintendo to slightly mod SMB1 so I doubt it was a big investment.
