10 Incredible Video Games You Can't Buy Anymore

Nintendo have some of the most dedicated fans of any developer/publisher, yet even the most staunch and zealous fan would struggle to defend some of their recent decisions.

Whether it's re-releasing old games for full-price (with a Nintendo Switch port of the eleven-year-old Zelda: Skyward Sword selling for the same price as 2022 games) or its zero-tolerance policy on even streaming some of their games (with someone even getting a takedown strike for scanning in a strategy guide of Super Mario 64, a game nearly three decades old), Ninty seem completely confident that nothing will shake the resolve of their customers.

So much so, that they decided to make a compilation of their classic Mario titles, Super Mario 3D All-Stars, a limited-time product - artificially inflating the demand by making even digital copies limited.

The move stunned even the Nintendo cataloguers, who once praised Nintendo's dedication to preserving their products for posterity - now, Nintendo is regarded as one of the most brutal in its insistence that "if we decide not to sell it, then we'll make sure nobody can have it".

Given how consistently Super Mario games sell (and retain their value) it's baffling that Nintendo would effectively shelve a money-making opportunity for what appears like a totally arbitrary business decision.

Sorry, Mario, but the princess isn't in another castle. She's... she's only available on eBay.
