Nintendo has sent an email to all Nintendo Account holders living in Japan to wish them a happy new year.

The message contains a special illustration of Mario in traditional Japanese Yukata riding a boar, with Mount Fuji in the background. Look at the artwork and translated message (by us) below:

“To everyone: We hope you will have a 2019 full of smiles and a year of brightness.  This year, please treat us well.”

Besides this message, other pieces of Nintendo greetings and artwork ushering in 2019 were released in Japan.
