The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes has a different localization in North America and Europe. For the game we’ve received in the states, there’s one portion of dialogue inspired by the doge meme.

Nintendo announced a substantial update for Super Mario Maker earlier today. Without question, one of the highlights is that mid-level checkpoints will be incorporated.

Nintendo of Europe actually shared another tidbit about checkpoints that was not in the North American announcement. In total, users will be able to place two flags per level. Players will restart from checkpoints instead of the beginning if they lose a life.

The new Super Mario Maker update will be available on November 4.
