If you plan to buy a digital copy of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, you don’t have much time left. Nintendo will be removing the game from the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U eShop on December 27th at 10:00am Japan Standard Time. On the East coast of the US, this would be 8:00pm on December 26th. There was no reason given for the removal of the game.
Next Week, Mario & Sonic Rio 2016 Is Going To Be Removed From The 3DS & Wii U eShop
What the
}{ Probably because the game was terrible, and Nintendo would rather not have it on record… }{
Congratulations you’re an absolute moron 😂 😂
Sega? Other licenses? Whot whot?
So does this mean this crossover series is dead or is there some dumbass controversial reason for this one game’s removal?
If I had to guess, I think perhaps the license ran out. Whether it’s on Nintendo’s, Sega’s, or the IOC’s end, I can’t be sure.
I doubt it the license won’t be remove in the while since South Korea Olympics are coming and Nintendo plans to do it big since they showed up at the last Olympics and even had a Mario commercial with it there’s probably just no explanation to why they remove it they did it before but I never seen them do it to a spinoff game for real so this is a first time although I did hear this title did poorly from last titles the last few ones were actually good I enjoyed some of the dream events and the lastest installment is the most lack luster one of them all along with the first one the story is ok but most mini games just limited you to certain characters and stuff the 3ds one is real bad
Well a Mario & Sonic crossover doesn’t HAVE to revolve around the Olympics.
Did the other ones get removed? Seems like a rather strange decision if it’s the only one.
Mario Sonic Switch version early 2018?
what a lost.
Man, it’s taking forever for the Sonic Games due in 2018 to be announced. The next Mario & Sonic game for example being at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games.
CIA/Wii U helper, anyone?
Mums the word.
Umm,……….Hurray?
Wow, a physical copy of this game was already expensive enough, prices are gonna sky rocket now.
I know. Not like it’s good game or anything but I never Bought it and now I cant without shelling $80+. Someone at Sega or Nintendo needs to speak on why this is happening
The Wii had the Donkey Kong Country games removed from it’s virtual console during it’s last years of support, so this seems like a repeat of that situation to me.
I’m sure it’s because of whatever happened to Rio a year after the 2016 Olympic Games.
