Nintendo Kicked off The MAR10 Day

I was invited to attend this event as Press. As always, the opinions I share are my own. 

Nintendo NYC Exclusive Event

At Nintendo’s exclusive event – overalls not required – The littlest had the opportunity to have an amazing time with Mario and Luigi. Also got a chance to meet Ryan from Ryan’s World and join him for some Nintendo fun. Plenty of activities for everyone to emerge into the amazing world of Super Mario. From puzzles to coloring pages to playing with Mario in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe everyone had an amazing time.

The Nintendo NY store welcomed fans of all ages, including kids from the local Boys & Girls Club, to come and meet Mario and Luigi and check out a variety of Nintendo Switch games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury and Luigi’s Mansion 3.
