Well I mean, they also ADDED Super Mario Bros 35 to the eShop, for free. You can’t just mention the removal as if it had always been there. I agree it was shitty for them to remove it though, it was one of my all time favorite games. But I’m at least happy that I got to play it.
Comment on Which game series had the worst anniversary celebration?

No, they didn’t.
For the 35th anniversary, they did all this.
- They removed Mario 3D All Stars from the eShop and stopped selling it in stores to get FOMO sales so people would care less that it was a lazy overpriced cash grab collection.
- They removed Super Mario Bros. 35 from the eShop and shut down the servers, making it completely unplayable.
- They removed the ability to upload levels in Super Mario Maker 1.

You paid a subscription for it. It wasn’t free. Just like any other online game, there’s no reason it has to die.

The way how Nintendo has a complete inability to understand modern, usually online, entertainment services, is truly an achievement. Just creating an NNID for your console is already a colossal pain in the ass, but it doesn’t begin or stop there. The way how fairly modern games got their entire service lineup completely shutdown is just unacceptable
