Nintendo are releasing remakes of several 3D Mario games today. But it's a limited release until March after which point physical and digital copies will no longer be sold by Nintendo. A fun way to create artificial digital scarcity.

And while philosophically I'm against creating artificial scarcity for clearly economic reasons, it's actually led to quite a nice situation where all my Switch friends are getting the game on the same day because we all know the price will never drop so we might as well.

It's quite nice to share that excitement and to be preparing to play the same games together.

Personally I'm starting with Super Mario Sunshine because I remember it being my favourite 3D Mario game but I know that a lot of people absolutely hate it so I want to confront my rose-tinted memories of it.
