The first couple of Zelda Symphony concerts kicked off very recently, will a full tour set to take place in 2012. This is just one of the ways Nintendo is celebrating the franchise’s 25th anniversary.

Unfortunately, Mario never received the same treatment for his birthday last year. That doesn’t mean, however, that Mario concerts are out of the question. Koji Kondo responded excitedly when asked about the possibility of Mario concerts in an interview with GameTrailers TV, and expressed great interest in making that happen sometime in the future.

Get to it, Nintendo!

– Nintendo’s priority in 2011 is 3DS hardware sales, profitability sacrificed, want to grow 3DS into a core platform
– Big improvement in 3DS profitability next year; targeting 16 million units; conservative goal, not aggressive
– Lack of 3DS software won’t happen again
– Nintendo will collaborate more with external developers since they can’t do everything internally; external companies better at network service

– Iwata: Industry will shrink is audience doesn’t expand
