Nintendo has announced a new free mobile app coming to iOS, Android and the Switch. It\u2019s called Hello, Mario! and was revealed alongside a new collection of Mario-themed products<\/a> designed for kids and toddlers launching in Japan later this month.<\/p>\n

All of Nintendo\u2019s mobile apps have been free to download so far, but while some have offered in-app purchases and others, like Nintendo Music<\/a>, require an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription, Hello, Mario! is comparatively basic. Reminiscent of Super Mario 64\u2019<\/em>s title screen<\/a> that showed off the N64\u2019s capabilities with an interactive 3D version of Mario\u2019s head, Hello, Mario! lets kids poke, tug, and fling Mario\u2019s face around the screen<\/a> while the character reacts in various ways.<\/p>\n

The app probably won\u2019t have as much appeal for adults, but there are a few items in Nintendo\u2019s new My Mario collection<\/a> that parents may find hard to resist. It includes plush toys, toddler-safe dinnerware, teething toys, clothing, and even an interactive board book also featuring Mario\u2019s face.<\/p>\n

The highlight is a pair of wooden building block sets. There\u2019s a \u00a52,980 (~$20) 3-piece set featuring Mario, a mushroom, and a question block. A larger \u00a519,980 (~$135) 30-piece set<\/a> adds Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi, plus a warp pipe and other building elements. The character blocks also have Amiibo functionality, and can be used with the Switch in lieu of each character\u2019s standard Amiibo figure.<\/p>\n

The My Mario collection will be available in Nintendo\u2019s Japanese stores in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto starting on August 26th, while the Hello, Mario! app will be available for download on the same day. Nintendo hasn\u2019t confirmed if an English version of the app will be released, but some of the My Mario products will be more broadly available next year, according to Video Games Chronicle<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
