After fans came across a potential Twitter account for Super Mario’s 35th anniversary, they’ve again been poking around the social media website to find other possible hidden user names from Nintendo. That sleuthing may now have resulted in a discovery tied to F-Zero.
The account in question is @FZeroJP. Just like the Super Mario account, it has the same “aaaaaaa” handle. By attempting to reset the account password, we can see that an email would be sent to n*******.**.**, which could very well be nintendo.co.jp – Nintendo’s Japanese website. We also know that the account was registered on March 16, so it’s not someone simply trying to piggyback off of the Super Mario findings from earlier this week.

For Monopoly, the board game will have players buying, selling, and trading locations from Super Mario games between 1985 and present day. Toad houses and Princess Peach’s castles will be replacing houses and hotels. Additionally, it’ll come with an electronic component of the Question Block featuring sound effects “that can change a player’s luck”.
