Nintendo’s controversial decision to limit the availability of\u00a0Super Mario 3D All-Stars<\/strong><\/em> is one that drew plenty of criticism when it was first announced last September. Now, as\u00a0Nintendo prepares to pull the game from retailers<\/a> across the globe, as well as its online store, sales of the title are rapidly increasing as players rush to secure their copies before it’s too late. With just two days to go until March 31st, that time has very nearly arrived.<\/p>\n

Although the practice of time-limited titles may not be popular with players, Nintendo may well feel that its decision has been somewhat vindicated; especially given how well the game has sold. The company’s own webpage shows that more than eight million copies of Super Mario<\/em>\u00a03D All-Stars<\/em> were purchased<\/a> before the end of 2021; a figure that is likely to rise beyond the ten million mark before the game’s six months on the market officially come to an end. In fact, a\u00a0recent surge in sales in the UK may well have been enough to push it past this impressive milestone already.<\/p>\n

According to industry analyst gamesindustry.biz, sales of\u00a0Super Mario 3D All-Stars<\/em><\/a> rose by 276% in the UK for the week ending March 27th, which\u00a0led to the game jumping from ninth to second in the country’s officials video game top ten chart. Exactly how many copies of the game were sold is unknown as\u00a0GfK doesn’t provide\u00a0exact unit totals, although it comfortably outsold EA’s FIFA 21\u00a0<\/em>despite the multi-platform title also seeing a big increase in week-on-week sales due to ongoing promotions.<\/p>\n

The news will be welcomed by Nintendo executives, although some people believe that intentionally limiting the availability of games and gaming accessories is feeding a growing black market of scalpers; many of whom have built their businesses around\u00a0exploiting desperate consumers.\u00a0Sealed copies of\u00a03D All-Stars<\/em> have already started showing up on sites like eBay<\/a>, with some listed for as much as $200.<\/p>\n

The surge in sales of 3D All-Stars<\/em>\u00a0isn’t all that the Japanese giant will be celebrating though, with the UK\u00a0chart also revealing that nine of the country’s top ten best sellers last week were Switch titles. This is becoming an increasingly common occurrence not just in the United Kingdom, but also in Japan, as well.\u00a0According to the latest figures there, Switch titles made up 29 of the 30 best selling games for the week ending March 21st. With Capcom recently revealing that Monster Hunter Rise<\/em> has already shipped more than four million copies<\/a>, that may well become 30 out of 30 when the latest Japanese sales figures are released on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
