According to a listing on Nintendo’s European website, Monster Hunter Generations takes up 12,534 blocks. That amounts to 1.56GB.

We’re expecting this size to translate similarly in North America. It may differ slightly (the Japanese version was 12,199 blocks / 1.49GB), but it should be right around 1.5GB.

Nintendo has partnered with SONIC for a new promotion. Those who order a Wacky Pack at a Drive-In between April 19 and June 30 will receive a colorful toy based on Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam.

Five toys in total are up for grabs, and each one plays differently. There’s one shaped like Mario racing across the room on wheels whereas another has Paper Mario and Luigi spinning around like a top. Nintendo has also prepared two toys that resemble the folded-up paper look of the papercraft battles featured in the game.

Here’s a look at the various toys:

Playtonic has welcomed Phil Tossell, who was the coding lead on both Star Fox Adventures and Kameo. He’s also one of the co-founders of Tengami maker Nyamyam.

Playtonic tweeted out the following:

Based on a tweet from Tossell, it sounds like he’s still on with Nyamyam:
