Top Nintendo Stars Make Appearance on GoTV

After years of dominating video games worldwide, two Nintendo celebrities

will show up on a new medium. A-list Nintendo star Mario(TM) and his creator,

legendary video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto, will make special appearances

on the GoTV mobile television network in a series of four episodes featuring

"New Super Mario Bros.(R)" for Nintendo DS(TM), which launches today.

The episodes will run weekly between May 15 and June 5 on GoTV's Hip Hop

Official, the video game and hip-hop channel; ALTitude, the rock music

channel; and GoTV Superchannel, the eponymous flagship package.

Mario will tell viewers all about his new larger-than-life adventure

saving his beloved Princess Peach from Bowser and Bowser Jr.'s clutches.

Meanwhile, Miyamoto will share behind-the-scenes stories and special features

from a producer's perspective.

"A legend like Mario rarely gives interviews, so this is a treat," said

Elizabeth Brooks, executive vice president of Marketing, GoTV Networks.

"Mario's fans, young and old, will finally hear what this video game icon has

to say in this exclusive interview."

"This is gonna be an in-depth interview," Mario said. "Hopefully we can

get around to talking about my pasta-based energy plan."
