“Who Controls the Past Controls the Future”
So, Nintendo made it so only pirates can get the digital game now?
🏴☠️
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.
Reads like it was written by an ai:
- drones on with tangential information
- doesn’t answer the question
I mean the first sentence answered the question. It was available for a limited time due to 35th anniversary. It’s a dumb reason but the answer is right there.
It’s a rhetorical non-answer, “the 35th anniversary release was only available for a limited time because it was only available for a limited time”.
There are hundreds of anniversary releases of games that are made permanently available - hence why people asked Nintendo why this one was given an artificially short availability so often that it became an FAQ question. They own the rights, they can sell it indefinitely if they want.
Eg: search Steam for ‘anniversary’ you’ll find 600+ results.

These were always a terrible value. Just emulate them.
