Nintendo is bringing its cute My Mario collection to the US next month

"After exclusively launching in Japan last August, Nintendo has announced its My Mario product line will be available in the US starting next month. That includes the interactive Hello, Mario! app featuring an interactive 3D version of Mario's head that reacts to being poked, tugged, and flung around the screen. The app will be available as a free download for the Switch, Switch 2, and iOS and Android devices starting on February 19th, 2026."

"The My Mario physical products coming to the US include apparel for infants and toddlers; a board book that, like the mobile app, lets kids interact with Mario's face; plush versions of Mario and items from the games; and a collection of bath and water toys. There's not a lot that will appeal to adults that aren't devoted Nintendo collectors, although there are two block sets featuring colorful wooden versions of Super Mario characters that include Amiibo functionality that could be hard to resist."

"The My Mario collection will be available through Nintendo's New York and San Francisco stores on February 19th, but the company says the products "will also begin arriving at select retail stores nationwide this spring and will continue to expand throughout the year." Ideally that will also include Nintendo's online store for those who can't find a retail location carrying them."
