Super Mario 3D All Stars is, as of now, the second best selling game on Amazon. However, it will not be released for 2 weeks. Super Mario 3D All Stars combines 3 classic Mario games. This includes Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy, on Nintendo Switch for the first time. It was declared during Nintendo’s recent Direct stream assigned to the 35th anniversary of the iconic platforming plumber.
Nintendo declared a lot of fascinating new projects during the anniversary Direct, encompassing a port of Super Mario 3D World finished with an unusual new expansion called Bowser’s Fury. In addition to popular games like these, Nintendo indicated some more unique projects, like a functioning Game & Watch system and a Mario Kart game that would be played with remote-controlled karts. But the substantial reveal of all was Super Mario 3D All-Stars.
Nintendo wisely saved Super Mario 3D All Stars for the end of the showcase. The game had been whispered for some time, but what fans didn’t anticipate was the information that the collection would only be available for a limited time. By the end of March 2021, Super Mario 3D All-Stars will vanish.
Super Mario 3D All Stars Is A Transparent Attempt By Nintendo
This was a translucent attempt by Nintendo to drive up earnings of the new game, but it helped. Fans flocked to digital dealers in droves to pre-order their physical specimens. This is apparent on Amazon, where Super Mario 3D All Stars stands as this year’s 14th best-selling video game crop on the entire website. The only substantial games that rank before 3D All-Stars are the physical and digital versions of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Nintendo’s earlier mammoth sales success.
Amazon’s bestseller roster is far from the best measure of a video game’s prosperity, but it is quite telling. And there are other obvious signs of how well Super Mario 3D All-Stars is faring, particularly due to its restricted run. Even though it’s only been four days since the compilation was announced, and it’s 11 days before the output is actually released, scalpers have already started documenting their pre-ordered copies on eBay for extremely exorbitant prices. It will be next to impossible to get a physical copy after the release of the game.
The most disturbing thing about Nintendo’s tricky decision to cause artificial scarcity on new games is how adequately it’s already working. The collection is set to bring Nintendo irresistible profits. There’s completely nothing halting the company from indefinitely trading Super Mario 3D All-Stars and making it accessible to everyone.
