On September 13, 2015, the world famous plumber will celebrate his 30th anniversary! Created on September 13, 1985, Super Mario Bros is a mythical Nintendo licence. Mario was a worldwide success, and is a key platform video game which has passed the test of time. Thus, to celebrate Mario’s 30th anniversary, Nintendo has prepared various surprises.
First of all, the Japanese company has established a partnership with PDP to create a special gamepad compatible with the Wii and the Wii U. Called “Metal Mario 30th Anniversary Controller“, this joystick is designed like a GameCube gamepad and is covered by a chrome color. A nice tribute to the Metal Mario character.

Then, Nintendo has turned three Tokyo stores into Super Mario Cafés with Tower Record Café (a Japanese chain). A very cool idea.

Nintendo also created a special portal on its website dedicated to his famous plumber. On this portal you will find a video which recount Mario’s history.
Finally, the Japanese company is working on a new game called “Super Mario Maker“. Scheduled to be released on September 11, this game deals with level design. A very interesting game which we look forward in playing.
