Mario Day, also known as Mar10 Day, is an annual celebration created by fans of the beloved Mario franchise, which first debuted in 1985 (though Mario himself first appeared in Donkey Kong in 1981).
You'll also get a seven-day free Switch online trial with your purchase, which allows you to race your friends from different corners of the world—my sister and I have a standing date to battle it out every Saturday, even though we reside on different continents.
Quite a lot has been going on:

Top Tourism Sites Copy Tricks From Video Games to Woo Visitors – Skift
Can tourist destinations tap the mechanics that make computer games so compelling to hook visitors on learning culturally and historically relevant information? That’s a question posed by some recent projects by Med Gaims and Questo.
The so-called “gamification of experiential tourism” aims to add to the travel experience some elements that software developers use to make video games and mobile apps engrossing. The goal is to broaden the appeal of historical sights to today’s digitally immersed travelers by fusing the virtual and real worlds. Visitors compete to earn points and badges in mobile app games or play physical board games and simulations of historical activities.
This may worth something:

Despite the prominence of events like the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race , most Alaskans will likely never experience running a sled-dog team through the wilderness. But the video game "The Red Lantern" provides an alternative, letting players do just that.
While the Last Frontier is no stranger to being featured in movies and TV shows, appearances in video games are rare. Alaska provided a setting for 2008′s critically acclaimed post-apocalyptic simulator "Fallout 3," and served as the backdrop of 2014′s Inupiat-inspired "Never Alone."
Roblox Tops $45 Billion on First Day of Trading as Gaming Booms - The New York Times
When the pandemic forced people indoors a year ago, many passed the time by playing games on their iPhones, building gaming computers and exploring the latest blockbuster titles on their Xbox and PlayStation consoles.
For video game companies, that has meant gushers of cash. A record $56.9 billion was spent on gaming last year in the United States, up 27 percent from 2019, according to the NPD Group. Sony, which released the PlayStation 5 in November, recently reported a 62 percent profit jump while Microsoft tallied $5 billion in quarterly gaming revenue for the first time, helped by sales of its new Xbox devices .
'I learned about storytelling from Final Fantasy': novelist Raven Leilani on Luster and video
Much of the fervid discussion around Luster has focused on Leilani's astute and witty analysis of sexual politics and racial power structures in the 21st-century US. But a key part of her acutely realised portrayal of a millennial protagonist coping with crappy jobs and crappier love affairs is Edie's natural relationship with digital culture and technology.

Many readers will recognise that communal experience. RPGs are almost always single-player games, but a lot of us play with friends, shouting instructions to the person holding the controller. "I grew up playing them in a room full of my cousins and friends," says Leilani, "and we identified with different characters in the party.
