Last chance to buy Super Mario 3D All-Stars and Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light, last chance to play Super Mario Bros. 35
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Switch eShop | 0 comments
A lot is happening in the world of Nintendo after March 31. Three Switch releases are going away – two for Super Mario and one for Fire Emblem.
As for what you can currently purchase, Super Mario 3D All-Stars and Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light are up for grabs. Once April 1 rolls in though, that’ll be it. Both releases will be removed from the eShop, and you shouldn’t expect additional stock to be shipped to retailers. However, anything previously purchased – be it physical or digital – will still work. Digital codes not redeemed by March 31 will still function as well.
Also after March 31 is the end of Super Mario Bros. 35. The game will no longer be accessible after that date. Since it’s a part of Nintendo Switch Online, it will cease to function come April 1.

NERD, otherwise known as Nintendo European Research & Development, has worked on some interesting projects over the years. The division has been involved with the DS Virtual Console for Wii U, the New 3DS’ super stable 3D, emulators for the NES and SNES Classic Editions, and more.
Most recently, NERD contributed to Super Mario 3D All-Stars. A notice on the official website mentions how its own GameCube emulation technology was used as well as a “deep learning engine” to upgrade Super Mario Sunshine’s in-game videos to HD. For Super Mario Galaxy, NERD offered “graphics and audio emulation technologies.”

Super Mario 3D All-Stars – debug blocks removed from Super Mario Sunshine with new update, other tidbits
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The long-awaited 1.1.0 update for Super Mario 3D All-Stars arrived tonight. Aside from adding inverted control options which had been previously confirmed for the patch, Nintendo unexpectedly started offering support for the GameCube controller in Super Mario Sunshine.
There are a few other aspects to the update not mentioned in the patch notes. For one thing, the debug blocks in Super Mario Sunshine have now been removed. Players previously noticed that Bianco Hills’ second secret area displayed cubes which mark the flipping platforms’ paths and weren’t intended to be shown.
