Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

There’s some silver anniversary merchandise coming to Club Nintendo, as part of the ongoing Mario celebration.

Sidebar: I was showing my son (he’s five) the Super Mario Bros speed runs currently up on the Wii’s Nintendo Channel and mentioned that the game was 25 years old. Watching Mario do the speed run, my son remarked “That must be why he’s so good at this!”

The items coming soon to the Club are a screensaver and a pin set. The pin set features four copper Mario pins for 450 Club Coins. The screensaver shows gameplay footage from across Mario’s game history and comes in at the low, low price of 10 Coins. Although there’s no word yet on the platform for the screensaver. I kinda want it to be on Wii. I think that’d be pretty hot to have a Mario screensaver kick in once I’ve been on the Wii Menu for five minutes or whatever.

Club Nintendo Members to Celebrate Super Mario Bros. Anniversary in Style

Nintendo of America is continuing its celebration of the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros.™ by offering special Mario-themed rewards for members of its Club Nintendo™ loyalty program.
