Why Super Mario Disappeared on March 31st

March 31st is upon us, and Nintendo is to go through with plans to stop selling various Super Mario games, including Super Mario 3D All-Stars and the Super Mario Bros Game & Watch, as well as shutting down Super Mario Bros 35 and turning off the upload feature in Super Mario Maker.


Why? Because Nintendo.


Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser claims that this is because they wanted 2020 to be a celebration of Mario's anniversary. Yyeeeeahhhh, that's not what 2020 will be remembered for.


We're honestly expecting a new announcement from Nintendo imminently, as there's still a lot of holes in their release schedule for the year. We're not going to speculate about what might be on the way in the video, but between you and me...


Nintendo Switch Pro. Breath of the Wild 2 news. Possibly more Zelda stuff. Maaaaybe some news on Metroid Prime 4. Maybe.


The Switch Pro seems very likely, though, although that might not come until closer to Christmas. Either way, we definitely suspect we're getting something soon.


Here's hoping we also get a Sonic announcement. Come on, Sega, just give us *sometimes*...


Lots of love,
