Update: This is now out of stock.

Walmart is once again offering the gold Mario amiibo, but not in a conventional way.

The retailer has started selling a new bundle featuring Super Mario Maker and two amiibo. Along with the gold figure, you’ll also get the 30th anniversary Mario amiibo.

Those that are interested can get the bundle here.

Who would play Link in a live action movie based on The Legend of Zelda? What about the casting for a new Super Mario Bros. film? Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka were asked about these questions in an interview with MTV.

As for feature length films in general, Miyamoto once again expressed openness to the idea. After discussing the Pikmin short movies that can be seen on both Wii U and 3DS, he said: “A feature length film? It’s definitely a secret! I can’t make any comments right now but we’ll see.”

Check out the full interview with Miyamoto and Tezuka below.

There’s been a lot of talk going around today about retailers in the U.S. combining their Wii U and 3DS shelf space into a single area. I don’t personally believe that it’s as big a deal as some are making it out to be (especially since stores like Walmart apparently started doing this a year ago) and I almost held off on posting this all all together, but I figured it was at least worth a quick mention. The point is that, in some stores, you may find all Nintendo products grouped together under a unifying classic red banner rather than separate Wii U and 3DS sections.

What I actually find more interesting is that banners are using images that seem to feature new renders of characters. I can’t say I recognize the Link art above, and the Pikachu image below may be new as well.

It’s Nintendo’s 126th birthday today! The company was established way back on September 23, 1889.

Nintendo has certainly come a long way since its early days of creating hanafuda playing cards. I can only imagine where the company will go from here. I’m sure there will be plenty of fun along the way!
