Mario 25th Anniversary

Nintendo is celebrating Mario's 25th Anniversary this year! To commerate Mario's success over the years, Nintendo has came up with several special edition merchandise including a red Nintendo Wii, DSi and a special collection pack. These are all available for pre-order now at play-asia.com . Please do note that these are the Japanese versions. Nintendo had already annouced news the European versions will be out soon as well. I'm hoping that Nintendo USA will not disappoint us.


 
Super Mario Collection Special Pack
for Nintendo Wii (J)

A special collection pack will be out featuring the first 3 Mario games and the lost world stages for the Wii. Besides gaming, the package comes with a booklet with all the game sketches, illustrations and development information. Come see how Mario evolved over the years as you listen to the special soundtracks. Favorite themes and arrangements from all existing Mario games are collected into this CD.







 Nintendo DSi LL (Super Mario 25th Anniversary Edition)

If you love Mario and the DS, its a good opportunity to upgrade to the DSi LL with the special red Mario edition. The console comes with two brain training games and a dictionary.



Japanese Nintendo Wii (Super Mario 25th Anniversary Limited Edition)

This red Mario Nintendo Wii bundle will come with the new Wii Remote Plus, the upgraded Wii-mote with motion plus built in,  and  comes with a special 25th anniversary version of the classic Super Mario Bros. installed on the system. This special edition of Super Mario Bros will be similar to the original, with a few graphical changes. For example, instead of the usual question mark boxes that you see in the game, they will be replaced with 25th anniversary boxes.
