Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition is coming to the 3DS, GungHo Online Entertainment announced today. The new game was revealed just a short while ago during the company’s “New Games Presentation”.
Shigeru Miyamoto took the stage and stated that he began noticing Puzzle & Dragons after seeing Nintendo developers playing it. He was also struck by the work ethic of the people at GungHo.
Eventually, discussions led to last year’s 3DS title Puzzle & Dragons Z, though Nintendo wanted to do more. Since they felt Mario making a guest character wouldn’t be enough for the audience of that franchise, Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition was created.
Below are the first gameplay details:
– Puzzle PRG
– Begins in the Mushroom Kingdom
– Bowser has harvested the power of a mysterious “Drop” that suddenly appeared
– Princess Peach kidnapped once again
– Up to Mario to save her
– Mario will do battle in the style of Puzzle & Dragons puzzle battles, befriending other Mario series characters on the way
– Supports StreetPass
– Local multiplayer functionality
Check out some screengrabs from the debut trailer below. We’ll post the full video once it’s available.
