Last month Super Mario Bros. celebrated its 25th anniversary and Nintendo revealed that a special ‘Anniversary Edition’ of the game would become available for the Wii on the 21st of October.
The only thing is that according to the publisher this Anniversary Edition would only be coming to Japan. Well there’s some good news for you today folks because it looks like the re-release of Super Mario All-Stars will be coming to Europe as well!
Do you remember playing Super Mario Bros. on your NES way back in 1985? If you do, you deserve at least a modicum of respect because that means you’ve been playing games for at least 25 years.
Now go take your ‘old people pills.’ We’ll wait…
Hey, cheer up! You may be 25 years older than when you first experienced the joy of a side-scrolling Mario platform game, but that game is also 25 years old today, because on this day, September 13th in 1985, Super Mario Bros. was unleashed upon this earth.
