"Available for a limited time" What on earth do you guys have to gain by making it arbitrarily unavailable to someone who would totally love to give you money for this game but after the day that you boneheads say we can? Your most dedicated fans already preorder all of the major things or otherwise purchase them soon after release, you don't need to create artificial urgency. I hope this tactic loses you a lot of money, or better yet, you back off on it and just let this stuff remain available when it's more profitable that way anyway. I'm fairly certain leaving this game available on the eshop costs you guys absolutely nothing but maybe a gigabyte of storage space on a server somewhere. tl;dr, Nintendo, just stop it.
