The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Explorer’s Edition isn’t just for North America. This week, Nintendo also announced that the same product will be offered in Japan.

We have a look at the Japanese cover above. We also have our first look inside with some preview pages below. The Japanese version will have 88 pages, so we can probably expect it have a similar length in North America.

With this month’s release of Snipperclips Plus, new controller options are on the way. Nintendo’s assistant manager of product development Todd Buechele told IGN that Pro Controller and Joy-Con Grip support are being added. Additionally, these options will be patched into the original game.

Buechele said that the team had wanted to support both options from the beginning. They only weren’t included due to a lack of time.

Buechele’s full words:
