	Log in to remove this sponsored message http://us.wii.com/iwata_asks/mario25th/vol1_page1.jsp quote Nintendo Iwata: Hello everyone, I'm Satoru Iwata of Nintendo. Today marks the 25th anniversary of the first Super Mario Bros. game, which was first released in September 13th, 1985 for the Family Computer System (Japanese version of the Nintendo Entertainment System). With the support of our customers from all around the world, Mario continues to energetically jump inside many TV screens today. I sincerely thank our customers across the globe for all your support during this quarter-century. Nintendo will launch a campaign to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros., and at the same time we also plan to reveal several Iwata Asks interviews that will reflect on the history of Mario. I naturally thought about sharing with you an interview with Miyamoto-san who is, of all things, the father of Mario. But with Miyamoto-san being the most appeared guest in the Iwata Asks interviews, I have had the opportunity to ask him questions countless times. The more I thought about it, I felt that it would be better to have someone else ask in my place, in order to present you with a fresh new perspective. Going back, the entire reason I started the Iwata Asks series of interviews was an event that struck me when Shigesato Itoi-san* interviewed me for his website "Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shinbun". As I was talking to him I was deeply moved when I found out how much deeper a conversation could be if you're asked the right questions in the right way. And since Itoi-san and Miyamoto-san have known each other for a long time, I felt that Shigesato Itoi-san is the perfect candidate to ask Miyamoto-san about his philosophies as a creator, from a different perspective than mine, to commemorate the 25th anniversary. So, to spearhead the 25th anniversary campaign I present you "Shigesato Itoi Asks In Place of Iwata: Super Mario Bros. 25th anniversary". It has truly turned out to be a long and in-depth interview. Please enjoy. ------------------- Play-Asia!

	How could I have missed the Super Mario Bros. 25th Anniversary? Well, I had seen it on the website before I saw this but I still had seen it after the official 25th anniversary...... (I still think Nintendo should have opened a Nintendo theme park for the 25th anniversary..... grumblegrumble) -------------------

	quote zuidy (I still think Nintendo should have opened a Nintendo theme park for the 25th anniversary..... grumblegrumble) That actually doesn't sound like a bad idea. A Starfox rollercoaster with plenty of loops and barrel rolls, complete with in-seat speakers. A Metroid-themed shooting gallery. A Donkey Kong log ride using barrels for the cars. Mario Kart bumper cars or go kart track. There are so many possibilities with all their classic characters. It worked for Disney. -------------------

	They don't have nintendo ones, they have Pokemon ones. And I think those shut down.

	quote Tainted The first page of that interview went absolutely nowhere. Most Iwata asks start of like that. It's way too casual, I agree. It's one of the reasons I don't read them very often. ------------------- Join the Neoseeker Film Club today, Mac! Now Showing: Elite Squad: The Enemy Within
