Goodnight sweet plumber
So yesterday, we reported on the destruction ofSuper Mario Maker:which would be brought offline and removed from the eShop on August 02, 2025.
I thought about that date and figured “hey, that sounds familiar,” but didn’t make a connection until a reader pointed it out. That’s Mario doomsday. While we could really use a Year of Luigi pick me up right now, instead we’re getting a downer of a date. On that day next year, multipleMariofixtures will be removed from existence.
But that’s also the closure date forSuper Mario Bros. 35, which will be allegedly wiped from existence on July 31, 2025. Oh, and Nintendo is apparently stopping the sale ofMario 3D All-Stars(including physical sales!) andthe Game & Watch portableon that same date. Madness!
I’m sure most of you have strong feelings on the whole “limited time” sales tactic, but it’s entirely possible that several of these (probably notMario Maker‘s closure) will be overturned:just likeJump Rope Challenge. The problem is, if Nintendo does reverse multiple decisions to cut off sales, fans will be calling their bluff for ages to come.
