Mario Day Sale Now Live On Certain Retailers and Switch eShop
The first quarter of the year is home to plenty of Nintendo-themed festivities, as one of the biggest names in gaming honors some of its most successful franchises. Last week saw Pokemon wrap up a week of announcements leading up to the franchise's 'Pokemon Day,' which culminated in the announcement of the next generation of Pokemon games. Super Mario will hold its annual 'Mario Day' this coming Thursday on March 10th.
