Today is Nintendo's equivalent to Star Wars' May 4th, in that March 10th marks the official day for its mascot, dubbed "Mar10 Day" (get it?!). Nintendo has acknowledged this by producing a video on its YouTube channel, so have a watch and let us know if you were charmed by it like this writer was.
How will you spend Mar10 Day? Will you pick up a game from the red plumber's illustrious history, or is it just another Thursday?

Twilight Princess HD!!! 1st day off since it was released
Hoping for some good US eshop downloads/sales coming today - hasn't seen anything yet (and normally something has been revealed by now )
New Super Mario Bros Wii ?
Mario Kart 64 ?
Sales on Mario 64 ?
would be nice ... lets see
Sounds more like a celebration of 'Martin'.
After watching this, I just want to play Super Mario Bros. 3
Yeah, that kinda doesn't work in British data syntax.
Tenmar doesn't make much sense.
Huh, never thought of this...
Ima play MAR10 MAKER
This just makes me pine for Digitizer, the old Channel Four video game pages on Teletext!! I was gutted when that ended. Today's date appeared as Mar10 on the page, I thought that's where this came from?
That reminds me, Pi day is coming up!
I wish Mario came to my office today. =P
Hahaa, who knew this was a thing??
How will i spend it? Like the average person and working.
Aaaw I LOVE Mario.
In the whole entertainment industry there's only Mario and Cher that actually got better with age (in my opinion) hehe
I'm getting major Burger King vibes...kinda creepy lol
To celebrate, I'll be playing an old classic:

Bought a second Wii U, with MK8 and Splatoon pre-installed, this week. It arrived today so I've been celebrating with some Mar10 Kart 8.
I was wondering who this Marten is (Marten is actually a name) until I saw "Mario" on the thumbnail on the video.
If I even didn't get it, I doubt that a significant number of people will get it...
Might play some Mario Kart 7 or Super Mar10 Maker
I like it. It gave me a couple of chuckles and smiles.
Mario day huh? Lol I played Twilight Princess HD and Luigis Mansion(GCN).
Pfft... today is Bravely Second demo day for me.
Possibly also Pokemon. Started replaying Black 2 in hopes that I can transfer a second set of that generation's Pokemon to the Bank in preparation for SuMo.
Mario is magic :]
I wish Mario would turn my homework into Amiibo...
@ReshaSong Theres not enough Amiibos for that.
i didn't get it till i saw this vid (face palm)
All you who didn't get it just aren't l33t enough.
@RadioShadow Last year's Pi day was awesome. 3.1415
Well, if you are going to create a day, it's good to give everyone a little heads up. This seems like something of an afterthought. Should have built it around an announcement or at least dropping the Mario Mini game.
Ok???? Of course it's March 10, it's been that way since the Julian Calender was invented, announcing that does not makes sense. So what are you going to have an official announcement that tomorrow is March 11th?
Suddenly company production decreases by 30% for the day.
Huh...something's up.
Eh, I doubt it'll catch on.
Nothing much happens during March 10, last year I was focusing on Monster Hunter during that day and now it's Fire Emblem lol.
It feels a bit wrong Nintendo are making this up. May the 4th was made by the fans, not Disney/Lucasarts.
@fortius54 Yes it does feel like an afterthought. Just Nintendo being Nintendo...
@Tasuki LOL I don't think you get it?
