Super Mario 3D Land And Jon Bon Jovi Take Over Times Square
See that nice family of raccoon-children and their father about to be set upon by a cult of angry overall enthusiasts above? That's not just an freakish family outing gone wrong! It's Jon Bon Jovi, and he's in Times Square with his children to celebrate the release of Super Mario 3D Land.
To help get people psyched for the launch of this latest Mario game, Nintendo has transformed Military Island in Times Square for today. The locale is now covered in warp pipes, end-of-level flagpoles, Mario clones, and people wearing tanooki suit tails.
Check out the other photo of the event that Nintendo provided below. Anyone else excited to join Mr. Bon Jovi and his kids in playing some Super Mario 3D Land this weekend?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
