On this day (October 23) in Nintendo history...
- Super Mario Bros. 3 was released in 1988 for the Family Computer in Japan. In this platforming game, developed by Nintendo R&D4, Bowser and the Koopalings are causing chaos yet again, but this time they're going beyond the Mushroom Kingdom into the seven worlds that neighbour it. Now Mario and Luigi must battle a variety of enemies, including a Koopaling in each unique and distinctive world, on their way to ultimately taking on Bowser himself. Lucky for the brothers, they have more power-ups available than ever before.
- Radar Mission was released in 1990 for the Game Boy in Japan. In this action/turn-based strategy game, developed by Nintendo R&D1 _with _Pax Softnica, two games in one! Close-up torpedo battles plus long-distance missile strategy. If you prefer long distance battles, choose Game A to strategically employ your fleet and engage the enemy in pulse-pounding missile face-off. Find and sink your enemy's vessels before your opponent finds and sinks yours!
- Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure was released in 2007 for the Wii in North America. In this point-and-click adventure/puzzle game, developed by Capcom, enter a world of puzzles and piracy. Will have you racking your brains as you guide budding pirate Zack and his sidekick Wiki the monkey through eye-popping levels in search of untold riches. As an apprentice pirate, Zack spends his days searching for a long lost treasure that is said to be buried on a mysterious island.
- Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution was released in 2007 for the Wii in North America. In this fighting game, developed by Eighting, the exam begins. Some ninja-in-training have incredible speed - others amazing technique, but to move up in the ranks of the ninja elite, a ninja won't go anywhere if he doesn't perfect both. Do you have what it takes to rise above the rest? You're dropped into the Chunin Exam storyline played out in the television series.
- Style Savvy (known in PAL territories as Nintendo presents: Style Boutique ) was released in 2008 for the Nintendo DS in Japan. In this simulation game, developed by Syn Sophia with Nintendo SPD, you're challenges to run your own fashion store as a style consultant, hand-pick your own stock, take part in Fashion Contests, choose new clothes from the online shop and even play against other consultants with multiplayer mode.
