Mar10 day will instead be a month of Mario festivities

destructoid.com:

Nintendo has announced that in celebration of March 10th, also known as Mar10 day, they will be holding a month-long extravaganza of events to celebrate the stalwart plumber. This was all announced at a party at Nintendo’s New York store, that I was somehow not invited to. I’m guessing my invitation was lost in the mail.

“With a wide variety of activities all month long, we want all of Mario’s fans to know that every day can be a Mario Day,” said Devon Pritchard, Nintendo of America’s Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Communications. What does that even mean? Do people forget Mario exists every day and not just on March 10th?

Before you get too excited, they’re not going to be announcing Super Mario Galaxy 3 through to 34 this month. In fact, some of the days they have bookmarked are just for, like, contests, sales, and reasons for you to walk into a Gamespot. Take a look:

Wait. DK Summit in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe? That’s actually pretty awesome. There’s also a statue, some new Lego sets, and some gear from PDP. You can see everything at the site over here.

There’s nothing too landmark aside from the next wave of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC; however, there’s still a month for Nintendo to slip in a remaster of Hotel Mario.

Listen. Come over here where they can’t hear us. We need to figure out how we can have a Luigi day. Nintendo has shown that they don’t respect our annual traditions of The Year of Luigi, so we need to get their attention. I suggest we change February to Luibruary and harness the powers of the days of adjacent months until we have a super-month that is over 91 days. Then we’d have Lui91 day. Wait, hold on, that would probably mess up my pay schedule. Scratch that. Let’s hear some of your ideas.
