Earlier this year, Electronic Super Joy: Groove City launched for Wii U. The original game is now bound for the eShop as well.

Yesterday, Broken Rules teased the following on Twitter:

The comment there matches up with Destructoid’s review of Electronic Super Joy. That means we should be seeing the title on the eShop at some point in the near future.

In other news Broken Rules rules, the studio has pretty much ruled out the possibility of Secrets of Raetikon for Wii U. Another developer would need “to rebuild the engine to support multi-threading” in order to create a port.

We have an image of another amiibo costume included in Super Mario Maker. Above, you can get a first look at the silver Mario outfit (which may also feature the Super Mario 64 finishing jingle if a Miiverse post is to be believed). The gold Mario figure works as well, but we don’t have any screenshots of it just yet.

Thanks to Anthony for the tip.

One thing worth mentioning: Manfred Trenz founded Denaris Entertainment. For those who are unaware, Trenz was a designer on the Turrican games.

Super Mario Maker’s pre-load went live on the North American Wii U eShop a few days ago. Even if you decide the purchase the game digitally, you’re still entitled to a physical copy of the idea booklet. And claiming your copy is actually very simple.

After buying Super Mario Maker on the eShop, you’ll find a toll-free number to call on your receipt. Hit up that number and explain why you’re calling. After you give Nintendo your Wii U serial number (which is also on the receipt), email, name, and address, an order will be created and the booklet will be sent out when they become available.

Note that this offer is only valid in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
