    First of all, let me introduce you to Super Mario Collection Special Pack.(temp; direct translation from the Japanese)
    Let me explain what will be included in the package.

  •  

    In 1993, we launched a software title called “Super Mario Collection” for Super NES in Japan, which included the original “Super Mario Bros.”, “Super Mario Bros. 2”, “Super Mario Bros. 3” and “Super Mario Bros. USA”.  We put the same software on a Wii disk and included it in the special pack this time.

  •  

    The package also includes “Super Mario History, 1985 to 2010” which is composed of a booklet and a soundtrack CD.

  •  

    On the soundtrack CD, we have included 10 game music pieces from the original Super Mario Bros. to the most recent Super Mario Galaxy 2 as well as several sound effects and more.

  •  

    As for the booklet, it briefly explains Super Mario’s history over the past 25 years and includes such unreleased materials as some of the initial development planning sheets for the original Super Mario Bros., handwritten by Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo, father of Mario.  The booklet is going to be 32 pages long.

  •  

    We will sell this Super Mario Collection Special Pack as a limited edition for the Super Mario Bros. 25th Anniversary campaign available until January 10, 2010.  The software is scheduled to be launched on October 21 at the suggested retail price of 2500 yen.  In accordance with the demand, the company will produce and ship the product until the end of this campaign.

  •  

    Also, we will launch a special Super Mario 25th edition of Nintendo DSi XL on October 28.  The suggested retail price is the same with that of normal Nintendo DSi XL hardware. 

    In addition, we will launch two new software titles at the end of this year, which will feature Mario.

  •  

    One is a Wii game called Mario Sports Mix, with which you can enjoy four different sports with Mario.  It will be launched on November 25.

  •  

    The other is a Nintendo DS title called “Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!” for which you will use the stylus to solve the puzzles.
    We are planning to launch this on December 2.

    Let me talk also about non-Mario games.

  •  

    On October 14, we’ll launch “Kirby’s Epic Yarn” for Wii, with which you can enjoy Kirby’s new adventure in a world which is exclusively made of yarn and cloth.
