A Wii U rating for the first Super Mario Galaxy has appeared on the ESRB. Based on that information, we could be seeing an eShop release soon as a Wii download.

Wii U owners in Japan have had access to Super Mario Galaxy since late May. While the second entry is out in all territories, the original one has yet to come west.

Thanks to DJMusicClues for the tip.

It might be tough to track down a retail copy of Devil’s Third in North America. On Amazon, it’s already unavailable. Same thing goes for Best Buy.

The situation is similar at GameStop as well. We’ve been hearing that those looking for a copy in-store have had difficulty doing so. Destructoid has also heard that GameStop’s online stock consists of just 420 copies for the entire country.

Given all of this, you may want to pick up Devil’s Third soon if you have any interest. It’s in stock on GameStop’s website right now, but that could change soon.

All sorts of interesting information has been emerging from the Fire Emblem 25th anniversary book. Among other things, there’s an interview with Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai, which has him reflecting on the appearance of Fire Emblem characters in the series. He spoke about how Marth and Roy made it in, shared a story about re-recording Roy’s lines, and plenty more. He also commented on those who wish to see him work on an entirely new game, and noted that DLC for Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS is ending soon.

We’ve picked out some tidbits and quotes from the interview below. You can read the full translation over on Source Gaming.

– Sakurai wanted to include Marth since Smash Bros. on the N64
– The hidden characters in that game were made “only on the premise of being able to reuse some movements and parts of the models of pre-existing characters”, so Marth didn’t make it
– Sakurai wanted Marth in to represent Fire Emblem and have more variety with sword-wielding characters
– Roy came up while thinking about clone characters for Melee, and his game was in development at the time
– Roy’s design from Melee was more of a suggestion, and many of his aspects were redone
– Counter moves for the Fire Emblem characters comes directly from the Fire Emblem games
– There were difficulties in trying to include Marth (such as how he never appeared overseas), but Sakurai pushed to have him in
– Discussion and internal disputes when it came to Roy
– Sakurai met with Nintendo of America while working on the game, and there was talk about removing Roy
– NoA said he’d be fun, so Roy was left in

On the selection process for the Fire Emblem characters in Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS…
