i found this at Nintendo INSIDE. it says something about a blog from kenichi nishi [skip] and it sounds like it's going to open on september 13th.

can anyone help with a translation? [thanks]
 
Wait, twenty? But Donkey Kong came out in '80 or '81. What is this the 20th anniversary of? Mario Bros. Arcade? What are happening?!

It's the 20th anniversary of Super Mario Bros, Mario is older than 20 like you said.

But wasn't Mario called Jumpman in Donkey Kong? So he wasn't officially Mario? I guess he's officially Mario until Super Mario Bros. in 1985. Yes?

But... Mario Bros. (arcade) predates SMB, doesn't it? And it was definitely Mario and Luigi in that, I thought...

"9/13/05 is the day when the 20th Anniversary of Mario shall be celebrated [sic]. A site called www.mario.tv is being prepared for that day. According to Skip's Kenichi Nishi's blog, a Mario-themed T-shirt and the like will be introduced. A Mario and Chibirobo collaboration T-Shirt will be ready at Skip.

By performing a 'who is' check (searching the owner of the domain name) for www.mario.tv, it seems that it is Vivarium - perhaps there may even be a Seaman and Mario T-shirt[!] According to the blog, Sonic and others will also be available. Get ready for the 13th!"

thanks for the translation.

the mario t-shirts sound cool!
 
The T-shirts are up and they're fucking awesome!

Seaman wearing a Mario hat, Sonic Mario, Doshin the Giant Mario, Chibirobo Mario, etc. - damn Japan!!
 
They did but Miyamoto and others at Nintendo really liked the character thus started to develop the game with Skip.

Super Marios 20th anniversary!!1

You know he's called "Mario Mario". Luigi is called "Luigi Mario". That's the reason for the name "Mario Bros." or later "Super Mario Bros.".
