Along with today’s screenshot, Sakurai passed along the following message on Miiverse:

The characters’ thick outlines are only available in the 3DS version. Only the external outline is thickened and won’t appear in instances like when the hands or feet are overlapping. It’s got a softness to it and is not just black.

Nintendo World will be selling three of the Big N’s late November releases a tiny bit early. Super Mario 3D World, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, and Mario Party: Island Tour will be available for purchase on November 21. Those who stop by between 8 PM and 12 AM can pick up any of the three titles.
