It takes dedication to chase the same girl for 25 years. Nintendo is celebrating his 25th anniversary in style, mainly in Japan, where the plumber is getting a special collection of classic games for the Nintendo Wii.
The Super Mario Collection Special Pack contains an SNES release of Super Mario All-Stars, including Super Mario Bros., the Japanese sequel to Super Mario, Super Mario Bros. 3, and the American release of Super Mario Bros 2.
It also comes with a booklet revealing the history of the franchise and a soundtrack CD of music from the games. The bundle releases October 26 in Japan. No word on North American release yet but given Mario’s popularity – it’s about time we shared the celebration globally.
