Nintendo still plans to remove Mario Games on March 31

Super Mario Bros. (Japanese ス ー パ ー マ リ オ ブ ラ ザ ー ズ, Supa Mario Burazāzu) is a jump- n -Run video game of the Japanese company Nintendo. In Japan it appeared on 13 September 1985 for the home console Famicom. Until 1987, the game also came to the market in the West for the Famicom-Pendant Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). The player takes over the role of the Plumber Mario, which has to overcome obstacles and conquer opponents to free Princess Toadstool from the catches of King Koopa. This runs and jumps Mario through the two-dimensional game world shown in side view. In contrast to the previous Games Mario Bros. (Arcade, 1983) and Donkey Kong (Arcade, 1981) the game will not take place in a rigid screen section. Instead, the game uses Side scrolling. Super Mario Bros. originated under the leadership of Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Donkey Kong, and Takashi Tezuka. The music of the game composed Kōji Kondo. The game was one of the last module games for the Famicom. It was developed in parallel to The Legend of Zelda (FDS, 1986) within eight months. Super Mario Bros. is one of the most influential video games of all time. It has significantly shaped the Jump - n -Run genre and served many game developers as inspiration. At the time of his publication as well as mostly retrospective, the trade press has rated almost all elements of the game positively, in particular the game principle and the design of the game sections. With about 40 million units of remote units was Super Mario Bros. decades of the best-selling video game. His publication enabled Nintendo to revitalize the North American video game market after a phase of economic stagnation. Nintendo has the game that the successful Super Mario range justified, multiple for other consoles implemented, reissued or republished.

Nintendo may have missed the 35th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda - although they will probably be more timely throughout the year - but they went hard enough for their most emblematic character, Mario. Super Mario was 35 years old this year and Nintendo did everything for this anniversary by offering new games such as 2D Battle-Royale platform game, Super Mario Bros.35 and new / old games with Super Mario collection 3D All-Stars. The company clearly wanted to make these special games, so special in fact that they propose only for a limited period, the two games to be removed from the stores on the occasion of the 36th anniversary of the franchises at the end of the month, the 31st March.

While fans hoped that Nintendo would change his opinion on this decision and keep the games online, it seems that it will not be the case.

A new message published on the Japanese Twitter account of Nintendo has confirmed it.
