Nintendo announces new products in My Mario series

　　The "My Mario" series will be available in Nintendo's Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto stores starting from August 26, and some products are scheduled to be launched outside Japan next year. One of the core products of the series is the wooden building block set, which contains characters and props from the Super Mario series.

These blocks will be available in 3-packs for 2980 yen (about US$20); the full 30-packs will cost 19980 yen (about US$135). Among them, character building blocks such as Mario, Luigi, Peach (Peach) and Yoshi also have the amiibo function, which means they can replace the standard version of the amiibo figures of these characters and are used in compatible games.

　　There is also a free application that is also called "Hello, Mario! 》, will be launched on smart devices and Nintendo Switch platforms. Players of this app can pull and turn Mario's face, and play it similar to Super Mario 64.
