Gaming icon legend and superstar, Mario has recently demanded a Walk of Fame for video games developers and gaming icons a like. Usually only reserved for movie stars.
Mario has approached Hollywood Mayor Johnny Grant with a petition signed by fans online pleading his case for recognition. The petition asks for an Interactive gaming category, this would also honor creators of digital characters and designers who are often overlooked.
Video games are a huge part of the entertainment industry," argues George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "Revenues from the video game industry routinely equal or top revenues from the film industry's U.S. box office. That's how big we are."
In the words of Mario himself:I spent my whole life chasing stars, and now my fans want to give me one? Woo-hoo!
