To help you celebrate Mario's 25th, Nintendo's Japanese website is now giving away some awesome free desktop wallpapers you can use to spruce up your computer!

Wahoo!

Mario got me into handheld gaming when I got my first original Game Boy. I had all 3 Mario Lands. I only have 2 and 3 now. Super Mario Land got lost at one point. But Super Mario Land 2 was my favorite and still is to this day. I still have my original copy too. If my Pokemon Game Boy was still working I'd play it right now. I'm pretty bummed that I lost the first game.

Happy 25th, Mario!

I know I'm real late. XD

Looks like the red Wii and Wii Remote Plus bundle might be coming to Europe, but will contain New Super Mario Bros and Donkey Kong: Original Edition pre-loaded, instead of Super Mario Bros like in Japan.

It is amazing what the Mario franchise has become in these past years.

Didn't Mario first appear in the Donkey Kong arcade game in 1981? I know he was under a different name (Jumpman) that time.

That's cool, but I won't be buying it. I already have a Wii and NSMBW and I'm still totally unsure if I should get DKCR.

Still, it's nice to see some more colors being released. It would've been better at launch, though >_>

So it seems Nintendo is also releasing a Mario 25th Anniversary DSiXL:

I'd get the Wii if I didn't already have one, and I'd get the DSiXL if I didn't already have a DSi and the 3DS wasn't due out in around months. It almost seems like a waste releasing these two things now.

Just thought I'd let people know that the Mario Hat'sare back in stock on the EU Club Nintendo site (page 3)!

Ordered one for myself last week just before I got my 3DS, so happy I could actually get one.
