It's about to reach the NES in terms of worldwide sales, but I wonder if the Switch will reach the Wii at ~101 million units. Or is it more applicable to compare it to the DS, which sold ~154 million?

Why in the hell is Nintendo releasing Super Mario 3D All-Stars as a limited edition digital download? I understand the physical release, but why put an expiry date on a digital copy? Even EA doesn't pull that kind of shit.

I get it now: 3D All-Stars is a limited run bundle, and they'll sell them individually afterwards. Pretty shitty, but not unheard of and makes some sense.

I was super excited about the 3D Mario collection until I found out it won’t include Galaxy 2. Also, if they don’t include gyro controls for Sunshine, then this collection will be a massive missed opportunity.
