12th November 2010 – After 25 fun-filled and action-packed years, Super Mario is still speeding into the future! A limited edition black Wii bundle including Mario Kart Wii and all the accessories needed to celebrate Mario’s 25th anniversary in speed and style will be available across Europe from 26th November 2010.
As well as a black Wii console and the game Mario Kart Wii, the Mario Kart Wii Pack contains a black Nunchuk, black Wii Remote Plus, black Wii Wheel and the game Wii Sports. On top of all that, the bundle will also include Donkey Kong Original Edition pre-installed on the Wii console, in homage to Mario’s first ever appearance.
Miyamoto on whether he thinks about his legacy and the things he’s done before when making new games…
“I don’t really think of things in terms of legacy or where I stand in the history of Nintendo or anything like that. The important thing for us is to make sure that we’re having fun in our job.
So I really try to focus on, again, not only myself enjoying what I’m doing, but looking at my staff, and making sure that they’re having fun in their jobs as well.
Especially when you’re working on a series, there are times when you’re doing some repetitions, some work that maybe you’ve done before. You really want to make sure that the people working on it are approaching the project in a way that they’re not getting bored or frustrated, and that they’re thinking of new things and new twists and new appeals. That’s something we look at as well.”
