To celebrate the launch of Super Mario Galaxy, Nintendo and GAME has formed a partnership for Mario fans to be the first in the country to get their hands on the game 24 hours before launch. 

And to mark the launch, Nintendo have invited Mario fans to boldly dress as no other fan has dressed before. Nintendo is looking for Mario fans to attend the GAME store openings DRESSED up as their favourite Mario characters.  Whether it’s Mario, Luigi or Princess Peach, the launch of Super Mario Galaxy marks the latest addition to the Mario franchise.

 

Super Mario Galaxy is launching in the UK on the 16th November.  Eight special GAME 6pm store openings will take place on the 15th November in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, Dublin, Glasgow, Newcastle and Belfast.

 

 

The Mario franchise is THE single biggest gaming franchise of all time and as of March 2007 has sold more than 198 million units worldwide. The Italian plumber is the most iconic gaming character on the planet.

 

Media will be invited to attend the store openings and interview the fans queuing in anticipation of getting their hands on the game.  The best dressed fan at each store will win a Nintendo Wii and a copy of the game.  A further ten best dressed fans at EACH event will receive a Mario title and a goody bag.  Each fan that queues will receive a goody bag (subject to stock).
