NintendoMario Purge Day is coming, and to add to the list of things to be removed at the end of this month, we’ve got the Nintendo-published 3DS title Disney Art Academy, which will be discontinued on March 30.
Nintendo Japanese Customer Support shared this information on Twitter. Any user who has access to a digital copy can still download the title from the 3DS eShop after this date. Here’s the Google translation of the tweet below:
“The download version of the Nintendo 3DS software” Disney Art Academy “will be discontinued on March 30, 2021 (Tuesday) at 11:59 PM.”
This seems to apply to other regions as well – with the game page in the UK showing the following message:
“As of March 30, 2021 at 11:59 pm (UK time), the Disney Art Academy for Nintendo 3DS family systems will no longer be available on Nintendo eShop.”
Mickey’s departure on March 30 corresponds to Mario’s own increasingly depressing day. As noted earlier, Super Mario 3D All-Stars will be pulled alongside at the end of this month Super Mario Bros. 35 and the Super Mario Game & Watch
In addition, Netflix is removing an old Super Mario Bros. 3 cartoon series, the original from Nintendo Super Mario Maker online services are being discontinued, and other games such as Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light will no longer be available for purchase.
Nintendo of America has also previously issued a reminder to grab the Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection before it’s gone.
