Nintendo and Tencent have just launched a Super Mario Party promotional campaign in China, to help drive the sales of Nintendo Switch following its recent release in the country last year. As reported by Niko Partners’ senior analyst Daniel Ahmad, a number of IKEA stores and Holiday Inn hotels in mainland China are holding promotional offers which will allow customers to try out Super Mario Party on the hybrid-handheld.
The promotions will last until August 31st, as per the original report. The choice of Super Mario Party seems to be an odd one, but not without its reasons. The Kyoto-based giant experienced huge launch success in China even with the pandemic in full swing, which skyrocketed further after the release of Ring Fit Adventures that seem to indicate a peculiar liking for family-centric console experiences in the region.
Nintendo just recently unveiled the next entry in the Mario Party franchise, Mario Party Superstars set to release for the Nintendo Switch on October 29th this year. Super Mario Party is available now on Nintendo Switch.
