So, Nintendo made it so only pirates can get the digital game now?

Piracy is a service delivery failure
While it won't stop everyone, if that game were freely available I'm sure there would be several less folks emulating them right now
Emulate the old games. Unlike the original SMAS, 3d All-Stars added nothing to the experience that can't be done with emulation. I say this as someone who bought it.
Nintendo reinventing the Disney Vault™️ to artificially create scarcity
I'm sure we'll all be surprised when those games are all rereleased at $70 each.
Here’s why
Reads like it was written by an ai:
drones on with tangential information
doesn't answer the question
Reads like it was written by a marketing team.
What's the difference?
These were always a terrible value. Just emulate them.
Straight to jail
I remember hearing from many people, "I wasn't going to buy it, but it's only available for a limited period, don't want to miss out on it".
I voted with my wallet, and didn't buy it. I lost the vote though, since it sold pretty well.
Which explains why they did it. They created some hype, and earned some money, and still kept it for making some quick money by remaster / re-release when needed.
I bought it when it came out even though I couldn't reasonably afford it, because at the time my stupid teen-aged self wanted to collect every Nintendo published game on the Switch, and thought the game was going to be sold out if I didn't get it. I was well aware it was scummy of Nintendo at the time, but I bought it because I was sure they wouldn't do it again. I even got the limited time Fire Emblem English translation and still haven't touched it yet.
