Nintendo has announced that Babymetal will be added to Super Mario Maker as the game’s latest costume.

Here’s a trailer for the outfit, along with the announcement straight from the Japanese metal idol band:

The Babymetal costume is scheduled to arrive in Japan on April 28. That means we should be seeing it in North America tonight along with a new Event Course.

This is something included in Nintendo’s new press release that we just added to the site, but was worth highlighting on its own. It’s pretty noteworthy, as the company will have just one playable title at the expo in June.

Here are Nintendo’s words in full:

E3: Nintendo changes its approach to the show every year. This June, Nintendo will focus its attentions on the upcoming game in The Legend of Zelda series. The Wii U version of the game will be playable for the first time on the E3 show floor, and it will be the only playable game Nintendo presents at the show, in order to provide attendees a complete immersion. Additional information about Nintendo’s E3 plans will be announced in the future.
