Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 is featured in this week’s issue of Jump. The magazine introduces some information about color customization as well as more character details.

In Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3, you can change the colors of both the player character and monsters. For the former, you can choose the color for hair, scarf, trousers, gloves and boots. For monsters, you can fuse them with a “Color Fondue” to make their color change from the original.

“Dark Master” is mentioned in the magazine. This is an evil monster master who stands against the player. We also see a mysterious young girl who invites you to start your adventure, the King of Nochora tribe who supports you in many ways, and a caring old woman who is rather bad-mouthed, but likes taking care of people. These characters seem to know about the player’s memories before they were lost due to amnesia.

All amiibo figures Nintendo have shipped thus far have a protective piece preventing consumers from using them while in the box. However, Yacht Club Games opted for a different approach with Shovel Knight. It’s actually possible to scan the character without removing him from the box.

Speaking with Polygon, Yacht Club’s David D’Angelo said the team went in this direction due to fan feedback. He explained:

“We got a lot of feedback from fans before release who wanted to be able to scan the amiibo inside the packaging so they could still use the figure [in-game] while keeping it as a collector’s item. We didn’t see much issue with their request: while you can stand with a 3DS in store and try to scan it — we didn’t think that was actually something people would do due to the nature of the content we were making.”

Nintendo was completely fine with Yacht Club’s decision, and signed off on having Shovel Knight ship without the protective piece.

A new video uploaded by Nintendo’s Japanese YouTube page reveals that a Daisy costume is on the way to Super Mario Maker. Here’s the trailer in question:

I’m not seeing any new Event Courses (aside from today’s “Cooooo!” level), so Daisy doesn’t appear to be available just yet. We’ll let you know when that changes!

Twitter user Random Talking Bush has been poking around the files of Yoshi’s Woolly World, and in doing so, has managed to come across some interesting content. Quite a bit of what was found seems to be from the early days of development – back when it was going by the tentative Yarn Yoshi name. We see the original Yoshi design, unused texture, and plenty more.

Here’s a look at the various images Random Talking Bush posted on Twitter:
