March 31st will be a big delisting day, as Super Mario 3D All-Stars, Super Mario Bros 35, Game & Watch Super Mario Bros, and even Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light will all no longer be sold new or available, whether physical or digital.
Super Mario Maker on Nintendo Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, and Super Mario Maker 2 on Nintendo Switch, are all available world wide.
Author's Notes: Thoughts? My first thought was my condolences for the creator ChainChompBraden who has been working on his stage, Trials of Death, for over 3,000 hours and 1,500 days. Quite impressive. He still plans on completing it and showing it to all of the people who want to recreate it. Now that's dedication. Beyond that, I don't really play Mario Maker much.
