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.

Why exactly are we still bringing this up? We all know it was a shitty thing to do... this post reeks of ragebait.

Reads like it was written by an ai:

  • drones on with tangential information
  • doesn't answer the question

Reads like it was written by a marketing team.

Sometimes the AI tells the truth by accident

Nintendo reinventing the Disney Vault™️ to artificially create scarcity

[-] bilb@lem.monster 16 points 3 days ago

These were always a terrible value. Just emulate them.

Straight to jail

Here’s why

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

I'm sure we'll all be surprised when those games are all rereleased at $70 each.

„Japanese like it this way and we’re a Japanese company, deal with it” 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.
