It's the five-year anniversary of MAR10 Day.
That was exactly five years ago in 2016, with a little video made in Nintendo of America's offices.
NintendObs Daily. Wednesday, March 10.
March 10 is Mario Day!! Time to celebrate!! Seriously though, there's more than enough to be happy about today because Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe are issuing sales for Super Mario titles on the Nintendo Switch eShop. In North America, that's four Super Mario games, namely Super Mario Maker 2, Mario Tennis Aces, Super Mario Party and Luigi's Mansion 3, each at 35% off in line with the Super Mario Bros. 35th anniversary. In Europe, that's only two games getting the 35% off treatment, with the advantage that one of them is still less than a year old at the moment: Super Mario Maker 2 and Paper Mario The Origami King. I've really had my eye on the latter since its reveal so I'm really tempted to make a purchase. I mean, there's a scene in the beginning where King Olly inflicts upon Paper Bowser a torturous display that is straight out of an horror movie, I HAVE to do something.
