Nintendo confirms Bowser & Bowser Jr\u2019s birth dates making everyone feel old NintendoNintendo has officially confirmed the birth dates of Mario\u2019s main bad guy, Bowser, and his son, Bowser Jr \u2014 but this new information is making some fans feel pretty old. The Mario franchise is one of the most recognizable video game series of all time, and one of the oldest. First released in 1985, the Super Mario Bros have gone on to become a major staple in the gaming world in the years since. Alongside their status as gaming icons, the beloved cast of Mario characters has gone on to get their very own movie (which created quite a stir for film buffs) and even scored their own theme park at Universal Studios. It\u2019s been a wild 38 years for the Mario series, as many fans have grown up alongside the fun-file video games \u2014 but they got hit with a cold dose of reality when Nintendo released some new information during a YouTube video in 2023. Nintendo reveals Bowser & Bowser Jr\u2019s ages On June 2, 2023, Nintendo of America uploaded a YouTube video teaching first-time Switch users how to create their Nintendo accounts. In the section for filling in one\u2019s personal information, they used Bowser as an example, whose birthday they listed as February 5, 1989. That makes Bowser 34 years old \u2014 as old as some fans who have grown up with the Mario games. That\u2019s not all; it also used Bowser Jr. as an example for adding children under 12 to one\u2019s Nintendo account, whose birthday they listed as March 3, 2010. This makes Bowser\u2019s son 13 years old. Of course, this is fun information to have, which humanizes some of Mario\u2019s most iconic characters just a bit\u2026 but it\u2019s definitely making more than a few fans feel seriously old. \u201cOh. I guess I\u2019m older than Bowser. Great,\u201d one Twitter user wrote. \u201cGood lord, Bowser Jr. might be a Fortnite kid,\u201d another joked. However, others are expressing some confusion about these dates, as that would mean that both Bowser and Bowser Jr. actually appeared in their very first games before they were actually born. It\u2019s unclear if these dates are strictly canonical or not; in fact, quite a few Mario characters\u2019 ages are still up in the air. Fans curious about Princess Peach\u2019s age are still left in the dark after watching the Mario Movie, where she\u2019s speculated to be in her early-mid 20s.
