August 17th, in the year of our Lord 2012:
WHAT:
Mario and Luigi did not qualify for this year’s US Open, but
they’ll be at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center
in New York for Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day on Aug. 25. The brothers
will be showing off their new game, Mario Tennis Open, for the
Nintendo 3DS hand-held system. Nintendo invites people of all

wireless matches or taking the Mushroom Cup in Tournament mode,
Mario Tennis Open players will have the chance to sample the
game’s fun and nonstop action for free during the event.
In addition to hitting the court with Mario and his pals in the
South Plaza of the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center,

include a chance to test their tennis skills, hit with top
tennis pros and enjoy a juggling workshop, face-painting and
music.
