Nintendo has started a new Switch pre-load on the Japanese Switch eShop. Beginning now, players can prepare for Super Mario Odyssey in advance. You can buy the game ahead of time and download most of the relevant data. Doing so will let you play the digital version almost immediately at launch.

Super Mario Odyssey is Switch’s second pre-load option. The first was Snipperclips Plus, with Nintendo making the option available last week. Pre-loading has yet to start in either North America or Europe.

Mutant Mudds Collection is planned to arrive on Switch before the year is over. An exact date hasn’t been determined.
