Retailers in Japan are beginning to carry what seem to be new designs for eShop cards. They all have the red / white Nintendo logo as well as a potentially new render of Peach.

We also have another look at the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe box. That includes a look at the back of the packaging.

It’s a big day for 3DS. Way back on February 26, 2011, the handheld debuted in Japan. That makes the 3DS six years old.

3DS still has life in it all of these years later, as Nintendo continues to produce software for the system. On top of that, there are apparently plans for 2018 as well. So while Switch approaches and also offers portable functionality, 3DS appears to be here to stay… at least for now. Mario Sports Superstars, Pikmin, and Ever Oasis are among the titles to look forward to this year.

The tweet is as follows:

Would you prefer to buy a physical version of Shovel Knight for Switch, or do you not mind settling for a digital copy?
