Nintendo isn’t done with the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. just yet. Over in Japan, it’s been revealed that fans will soon be able to purchase a tray that’ll make it easy to create Mario chocolate. The product comes with special wrapping paper as well.
There are eight sections comprised of the full chocolate bar. The original Super Mario Bros. is represented with Mario’s 8-bit sprite, his power-ups, and more.
The Mario chocolate tray is due out in Japan on January 29. Pricing is set at 2,500 yen.

According to a report from Centro Pokemon, remakes based on Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl are currently in development for Switch. The two games are apparently planned for a 2021 release.
Centro Pokemon mentions that the remakes will not be in the style of Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee, so expect something more along the likes of Sword/Shield. The site adds that a reveal is planned for February.
With Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game – Complete Edition making it out today, Bryan Lee O’Malley – creator of the entire franchise – divulged a little secret. It turns out that additional DLC was initially on the table over a decade ago.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game did end up receiving two DLC packs, both of which are included with the new Complete Edition. However, there were talks about making Montreal DLC in which characters from The Clash at Demonhead would have been playable – Envy Adams, Todd Ingram, and Lynette Guycott. What ultimately happened? O’Malley says the DLC was cancelled in the end “because of budget cuts”.
It’s a shame that the idea was shelved, but on the bright side, it’s great that Ubisoft was able to bring the game to new platforms after so many years. You can pick up Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game – Complete Edition on the eShop. There’s also a physical release incoming from Limited Run Games.
