Nintendo is not naive when it comes to the steadfast demand for releases of their classic titles. For years now, Nintendo fans have been waiting for an opportunity to play classic Mario games, such as Super Mario 64, on modern day consoles. It comes with no surprise that Nintendo plans to take advantage of this, as any company with such an audience would undoubtedly feed the gaping mouths of nostalgia hungry gamers, but where do they cross the line? What’s the difference between supplying a desired service and taking advantage of a loyal community’s willingness to spend as much as they can to get their “Mario fix”?
对于对经典游戏发行的坚定需求, N 意图并不幼稚。 多年来,任天堂的粉丝一直在等待机会在现代游戏机上玩经典的Mario游戏,例如Super Mario 64 。 任天堂计划利用这一优势不足为奇,因为拥有如此众多受众的任何一家公司无疑都会养活怀旧饥饿的游戏玩家张开的嘴巴,但是他们在哪里越界呢? 提供所需的服务和利用忠诚社区愿意花费尽可能多的钱来获得“ Mario解决方案”之间有什么区别?

During a very exciting Nintendo Direct, Nintendo announced a slew of new Mario titles, celebrating the 35th anniversary of the “Super Mario Bros.” franchise. This was rumored long ago by many news sites, including Nintendo Life, a surprise that many doubted the reliability of for a while.
在非常激动人心的Nintendo Direct中 ,Nintendo宣布了一系列新的Mario头衔,庆祝“ Super Mario Bros”成立35周年。 专营权。 早在许多新闻网站(包括Nintendo Life)上就有谣言,这一惊奇使许多人怀疑它的可靠性。

With this celebration, Nintendo themselves stated the following:
在这次庆祝活动中, 任天堂自己说了以下几点:
“This includes games new to the Nintendo Switch family of systems like Super Mario 3D All-Stars, a collection of three Super Mario games of the modern era, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy; Super Mario Bros. 35, a 35-player online battle in the world of the original Super Mario Bros. game; and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, an enhanced version of the Super Mario 3D World game which originally launched on Wii U.”
“其中包括Nintendo Switch系列系统的新游戏,例如Super Mario 3D全明星 ,现代三款Super Mario游戏,Super Mario 64,Super Mario Sunshine和Super Mario Galaxy的集合; 超级马里奥兄弟35 ,在原始超级马里奥兄弟世界中有35名玩家的在线战斗; 以及超级马里奥3D世界+ Bowser's Fury ,超级马里奥3D世界游戏的增强版,该游戏最初在Wii U上发布。”
To no surprise, this caused the Nintendo fanbase to explode, resulting in Twitter trending multiple hashtags involving Mario. This news was promising and provided many fans with what they’ve been asking for nearly all year: more Mario games. While games like Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, released this year, (making Nintendo heaps of cash, of course), many fans were still thirsting for some exciting new Mario games to play.
毫不奇怪,这导致任天堂的粉丝群激增,导致Twitter趋向于涉及Mario的多个主题标签。 这个消息令人鼓舞,并为许多粉丝提供了他们近一年来一直在要求的东西:更多的Mario游戏。 虽然今年发布了《 动物穿越:新视野》和《 异种刀纪事:权威版》等游戏(当然,任天堂赚了很多钱 ),但许多粉丝仍然渴望玩一些令人兴奋的新Mario游戏。
While Super Mario Bros. 35 and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury look promising, nothing was more thrilling than the news that we’d be getting three of Mario’s greatest 3D adventures on one cartridge. Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy are all games that fans have grown to adore over the years. Galaxy is personally a favorite of mine and I am more than roused to give it a go on my Nintendo Switch.
尽管《 超级马里奥兄弟35》和《 超级马里奥3D世界+ Bowser的愤怒》看起来很有希望,但没有比这消息更令人激动的消息了:我们将用一个墨盒获得马里奥最伟大的3D冒险中的三个。 多年来,Super Mario 64,Super Mario Sunshine和Super Mario Galaxy都是球迷们越来越喜欢的游戏。 Galaxy个人是我的最爱,我很高兴在Nintendo Switch上试一试。
While this news puts smiles on many eager fans, it isn’t without a bit of heartbreak that Nintendo delivers this news. Nintendo, for whatever reason, has decided to make this game a limited release. The game will be available from September 18th, 2020 until March 31st, 2021. From this point, it will no longer be produced, and it will be removed from the Nintendo eShop entirely.
虽然此消息使许多渴望获得支持的粉丝笑了,但任天堂发布此消息并非没有令人心碎。 无论出于何种原因,任天堂都决定将这款游戏限定发行。 该游戏将于2020年9月18日至2021年3月31日上市。从这一点起,它将不再生产,并且将从Nintendo eShop中完全删除。

There is no clear answer from Nintendo as to why this is happening, but speculations can only leave one to point at one reason: money.
任天堂尚不清楚为什么会这样,但是猜测只能让人们指出一个原因:金钱。
It’s entirely plausible that Nintendo, understanding the demand for their classic titles, is using this “limited release” as a way to rake in as many sales as they can for the game. Don’t believe it? Check out how Super Mario 3D All-Stars has quickly made its way to the second best selling game on Amazon for 2020, second only to Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
任天堂在理解其经典游戏的需求后,正在使用此“限量发行版”作为一种手段来争取尽可能多的游戏销量,这完全是合理的。 不相信吗? 看看《 超级马里奥3D全明星》如何Swift成为2020年亚马逊第二大畅销游戏 ,仅次于《 动物穿越:新视野》的游戏。
As mentioned before, it’s no secret to Nintendo that these historic games are in high demand. After all, two years ago, Nintendo sued various ROM sites who hosted platforms to download their classic games. The legality of it all is clearly in Nintendo’s favor, as people were pirating these games. This, however, is a last-ditch effort for many in the Nintendo fanbase to experience these classic titles that Nintendo rarely re-releases.
如前所述,对这些历史悠久的游戏的需求很高对任天堂来说已经不是什么秘密了。 毕竟,两年前, 任天堂起诉了各种ROM站点,这些站点托管了平台来下载其经典游戏 。 当人们在盗版这些游戏时,所有事情的合法性显然都对任天堂有利。 然而,这是任天堂粉丝群体中很多人尝试这些任天堂很少重新发行的经典游戏的最后努力。
Nintendo’s contentious decision to release Super Mario 3D All-Stars as a limted time is surely paying off, judginy by the Amazon sales. It’s only a matter of time before we see the lasting effects of this greedy decision. Scalpers have already begun to take advantage of the peculiar situation, effectively making Nintendo a company that is enabling one of the worst practices in retail.
任天堂最终决定释放超级马里奥3D全明星赛这一有争议的决定肯定是有回报的,这取决于亚马逊的销售情况。 我们看到这个贪婪的决定的持久影响只是时间问题。 剥头皮牛已经开始利用特殊情况 ,有效地使Nintendo成为使零售业最糟糕的做法之一的公司。

As much as I like to complain about all of this, I’ll be no hypocrite and admit that I’ve already got my preorder in for the game. Nintendo knows how to force the hand of gamers who are excited to play their spectacular titles, that’s for sure. In any case, I’d much rather spend $60 now than $100+ in the future to some scalper who had to take advantage of an already unfortunate situation.
尽管我想抱怨所有这些,但我绝不伪君子,并承认我已经为游戏准备好了订单。 任天堂知道如何迫使兴奋的玩家发挥出色的游戏成绩,这是肯定的。 无论如何,我宁愿现在花60美元,而不是将来花100美元以上去买一些不得不利用已经很不幸的情况的黄牛。
I might be fortunate enough to be flying through the stars on September 18th with everyone’s favorite plumber, but not everyone will be. Don’t scalp.
我可能很幸运,9月18日带着大家最喜欢的水管工在星空上飞行,但并不是每个人都会如此。 不要头皮
