Super Mario 3D All-Stars? Don't believe it was ever available digitally. They did like two limited edition physical runs, and that's it. Much like how they released Mario DDR back in the day.

Edit: And yes, fuck Nintendo. Just clarifying it was never really listed on their digital store, anyway...

The compilation was released on September 18, 2020, and was available until March 31, 2021, when it was discontinued and removed from the Nintendo eShop.

Looks like it was on the eshop for a whopping six months. I think that makes it worse to be honest.

Huh. I thought when it was listed it said physical only, but clearly I might misremember. Course no way to check, cause Nintendo are assholes.

Fully agree. You as a consumer aren’t obligated to remember all of their slights in detail, though. That’s why we have Wikipedia 😎

Original Mario All-Stars was better, atleast they bothered to upscale the sprites

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

They didn't just "upscale" the sprites, they completely remade the games in the Super Mario World engine.

3D All Stars was the laziest compilation ever. All they did was toss the ROMs and half-developed emulators onto the cartridge and called it a day. The games run worse and have more input lag than they did on their original consoles.
