Mario's Birthday

This week the forever well-known video game character Mario turns the big 25!! At a quarter of a century old our beloved hero has sold more then 285 million games in his lifetime making him the best selling video game series of all time. For all of you that thought that Mario’s first appearance was in his own game you would be wrong, Mario made his first public appearance in Donkey Kong in 1981. In honor of the plumber's quarter century Nintendo is releasing a special edition Mario red Wii with a Mario red Wiimote and a Mario red DSi and to play on your shiny red system you can play the special edition re-release of all the games Mario appeared in. Sadly all of you American Mario fans you have to drool from afar or hire a smuggler to bring you back the special edition consoles from Nintendo's homeland of Japan. For those of you that own a Wii and some Mario games I encourage you to go home and play them but for those of you 360 or PS3 owners here is a link to play the original Super Mario online in the wonderful platform hated by Apple, Flash.
