Nintendo has quietly updated its official Japanese website to mark a transition in its year-long celebration of Super Mario.
The Super Mario 40th anniversary page now includes a brief message from the company thanking fans for joining anniversary events and promotions across game releases, museum exhibits, and other activities.
In a clear statement on the anniversary page, Nintendo thanked supporters for participating in the 40th anniversary: the company noted game software releases, exhibitions at the Nintendo Museum, promotional matches against 12 professional baseball teams, and the theatrical film 'The Super Mario Galaxy Movie,' and closed by expressing appreciation for fans' continued support.
That message follows a busy period of Mario-focused announcements.
Nintendo hosted a Super Mario 40th Anniversary Direct last September, a showcase that featured multiple reveals and releases.
The Direct highlighted the Super Mario Galaxy collection (Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2), new amiibo, the Mario Tennis Fever announcement, downloadable content for Super Mario Bros.
Wonder, and Yoshi and the Mysterious Book among its slate of items.
More recently, Nintendo added Super Mario Sunshine to its 'Nintendo Classics' GameCube library on Nintendo Switch platforms.
As Nintendo winds down its Super Mario anniversary activity, attention has shifted to The Legend of Zelda.
This week the company officially kicked off The Legend of Zelda 40th anniversary celebrations with a special Direct broadcast.
The Zelda-focused presentation included updates on a planned live-action movie, a release of Ocarina of Time for Switch 2, and the reveal of a themed Switch 2 console and Pro Controller, along with additional product announcements.
For Nintendo observers and industry professionals, these sequential anniversary initiatives underscore Nintendo’s strategy of leveraging legacy IP across hardware, software, and cross-media projects.
The Super Mario 40th anniversary webpage update is a concise acknowledgment of the company’s year-long campaign and a signpost that Nintendo is now directing its promotional efforts toward the next major franchise milestone.
Readers can view the updated Super Mario anniversary message on Nintendo’s Japanese website and follow Nintendo Direct presentations and eShop releases for the latest official details on platform and release availability.
