Numerous ratings have popped up in several locations in the last few months, but finally we have a cover art found on popular retailer Play-Asia. You can see the listing for the game here. It is also worth noting that a US ship date of June 30th of this year is attached to the listing, but whether that is a concrete window or simply a placeholder remains to be seen. You can see the overview and trailer for the game in some of our previous coverage.

As fans may recall, special figures for Pyra and Mythra were produced based on their appearance in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Units sold out quickly the first time around, but now you have another opportunity to purchase both.

Play-Asia has now opened pre-orders for a restock. Pyra is available here and Mythra is here. The two figures aren’t expected to be available for very long, so be sure to pre-order while you can.

In our continuing translations of Famitsu’s most recent issue, Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto shared some details on how he acts as an ambassador and protector of the Super Mario brand.

In this portion of the interview, Miyamoto discusses how the “Mario” brand needs a person who can call the shots on the criteria for what is and isn’t “Mario-esque”, so that’s what he does. He also ensures that he oversees any game that has Mario in it to some degree.
