Nintendo has been celebrating the 35th anniversary of Mario for several months now. The company confirmed via Twitter it still plans to pull Mario products from store shelves and the Nintendo eShop at the end of the month that were part of the celebration.
On March 31, Nintendo will no longer sell Super Mario 3D All-Stars, will remove Super Mario Bros. 35 from the Nintendo 3Shop, stop selling the Super Mario Game & Watch, and Super Mario Maker online services will be shut down.
"The 'Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary' campaign will end at the end of March 2021," reads a tweet from the official Japanese Nintendo account. "With the end of the campaign, the production, sales and services of some products will also end. For more details, please visit here."

If you want to purchase Super Mario 3D All-Stars or any other products that are part of the 35th anniversary you have until the end of the month to purchase them.
Thanks, NintendoLife.

“Super Mario Maker online services will be shit shown.”
Ermmm, well ok then.
I think it's a bad decision to stop selling Super Mario 3D All-Stars at March 31. They are 3 classic games and not everyone has played them.
Prolly so they can offer them digitally individually later on

Okay. I mean, I'll just go emulate them myself for free if I feel the need to ever revisit the games.
If Nintendo was smart all of their old games would be available on the eShop. They did it with the Wii Virtual Console. Why not bring that back?
The service system, by nintendo vision, it's not good. The virtual console with all your games support to the next console is a good move.
Honestly, if you want the game why you haven't bought it already? The price of Nintendo games don't go down over time anyway, much less for Limited Editions. The games will not go away, each will appear on e-Shop later on.
The 3d collection doesn't bother me. Buy it or don't. The game doesn't have some sort of online component. The roms already exist separately and as a collection. It isn't going to cease to exist.
Mario 35 is a little different. But hey. It was free I guess.
I still think potentially all of these will return in another form. Mario 64 in the n64 online, for instance.
Nintendo is done playing nice they learned from Wii U era
