That relationship is about to take another step. Last month, Nintendo announced that it is acquiring Next Level Games. President Shuntaro Furukawa commented on the move in an interview with Nikkei, and also discussed acquisitions in general.

The Super Mario Bros. 35th anniversary wave 2 collectible pin set is now available through Nintendo’s website. You can claim it here. Technically this went up just under two hours ago, but we held off on posting this until the technical kinks of the site were worked out due to an overload of traffic – which seem to have been ironed out.
