Digital video game sales have reached an all-time high this year. Just last week, for example, FIFA 21<\/a><\/strong>‘s digital sales in the UK outsold physical purchases at launch for the first time ever.<\/p>\n

Now, according to SuperData’s monthly report for September, Super Mario 3D All-Stars<\/a><\/strong> has set a new digital launch sales record for Mario games on the Nintendo Switch.<\/p>\n

The game reportedly sold 1.8 million digital copies in its opening period – meaning it outperformed the digital sales of Super Mario Odyssey<\/a><\/strong>, Super Mario Maker 2<\/a><\/strong> and Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

No other information was provided, but we’re guessing sales have been fueled partly by nostalgia and the fact this is a “limited-time” release that Nintendo says will be removed from the eShop at the end of March next year.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, NPD’s industry Analyst, Mat Piscatella, shared his own theory about what might happen to each of these games<\/a> in the 3D All-Stars collection after this date:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI don’t think these games will disappear, like what would happen with the old school Disney Vault. But I think there may be additional flexibility and buying options. For example, \u00e0 la carte purchasing options on eShop.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

He also noted how strong sales and demand for 3D All-Stars should give Nintendo “additional confidence in bringing other legacy titles” to its new platforms.<\/p>\n
