Nintendo plans special surprise for Mario's 20th

RUMOURS ARE running rife that Nintendo is to release their Game Boy Micro in Japan on the 20th birthday of their iconic poster boy Mario, September 13th. Nintendo has thus far denied all the rumours though we wouldn't put it past them.

Another Mario rumour is that not long after his 20th birthday we'll be seeing the chap make an appearance on the DS handheld, and we know for sure that Nintendo intend to release the Game Boy Advance versions of Mario Tennis and Doctor Mario & Puzzle de Pon double package on top of a re-release of the first Famicon mini-series.

It's gonna be a big party in Japan for the man himself.... µ
