Packaging for Super Mario Collection (Japanese re-release of Mario All-Stars), and a new King of Games shirt commemorating the plumber’s 25th anniversary.
Club Nintendo is giving away the limited edition shirt and several other themed items (tote bags, playing cards) in a drawing – all you need to do to enter is buy a Mario game for the DS or Wii in Japan.
This is all part of a new 25th Anniversary campaign Nintendo announced tonight along with the launch of a special Japanese website for the promotion. Definitely check out the videos; I’ll be sure to share the wayyy neat commercial here as soon as it shows up on Youtube.
There’s also an Iwata Asks-style interview between Mario’s father Shigeru Miyamoto and Mother’s, um, mother Shigesato Itoi. It’s a shame JC isn’t around to help me translate some bits from the Q&A. Itoi is like the coolest Asian guy ever. I hope I’m half as awesome as him when I’m in my 60s – or 30s even.
