Rockstar didn't even acknowledge GTA IV's tenth anniversary. Only by removing several songs from its radio stations.

Sega celebrate the 15th anniversary of Sonic by releasing Sonic 06.

For the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros, Nintendo released Super Mario All Stars for the Wii. It was just an emulation of the SNES game from years before. It was released for $30 even though you could buy all of the original games on the Wii shop for like $21 total. It just reeked of "We know you've already bought these games like 4 times, but please buy them again". They did do a better job on the 35th anniversary though.

Is the 35th anniversary the release of 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy on the Switch? I'd say the artificial scarcity aspect to induce fomo wasn't any better. It might have even been worse.
