Amazon packages to be randomly delivered in Mario-branded box throughout November
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Nintendo and Amazon have teamed up in a bit of an interesting way. Throughout November, you may find that a package you’ve ordered from the retailer has arrived in a box themed after Super Mario Bros.
Nintendo says that “the Super Mario Bros. branded Amazon boxes are in limited quantity and will be used randomly, while supplies last.” Furthermore, buying a Nintendo product won’t increase the chance of receiving the branded box.
Outside of the box, there’s another small aspect of the partnership. Amazon has opened a page here where My Nintendo members can earn 100 Platinum Points. The Super Mario Bros. 35th anniversary page lets you look at various Mario products, view a history of the franchise, and find hidden trivia.

Now that Pikmin 3 Deluxe is here and the full credits are available, we have more information about the game’s production. Although Nintendo was involved, it was actually another studio that led the way on development.
Eighting was largely responsible for Pikmin 3 Deluxe. The company took charge for the actual port as well as the game’s new additions.
Nintendo and Eighting have collaborated a few times in the past. Previously, Eighting contributed to Kirby Star Allies and Animal Crossing: New Leaf – Welcome amiibo. The team also worked with Capcom on Monster Hunter games and developed Zoids Wild: King of Blast for Switch.
