Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition is coming to the 3DS, GungHo Online Entertainment announced today. The new game was revealed just a short while ago during the company’s “New Games Presentation”.
Shigeru Miyamoto took the stage and stated that he began noticing Puzzle & Dragons after seeing Nintendo developers playing it. He was also struck by the work ethic of the people at GungHo.
Eventually, discussions led to last year’s 3DS title Puzzle & Dragons Z, though Nintendo wanted to do more. Since they felt Mario making a guest character wouldn’t be enough for the audience of that franchise, Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition was created.
Below are the first gameplay details:
– Puzzle PRG
– Begins in the Mushroom Kingdom
– Bowser has harvested the power of a mysterious “Drop” that suddenly appeared
– Princess Peach kidnapped once again
– Up to Mario to save her
– Mario will do battle in the style of Puzzle & Dragons puzzle battles, befriending other Mario series characters on the way
– Supports StreetPass
– Local multiplayer functionality
Check out some screengrabs from the debut trailer below. We’ll post the full video once it’s available.
Three Durarara!! characters will be showing up in Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker. Unfortunately though, these cameos probably won’t be appearing in the game’s western version.
Atlus USA PR manager John Hardin wrote on Twitter last month:
@MrRoundDB pretty sure we're not getting it, but I haven't heard 100% confirmation yet.

Update: Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D Limited Edition now sold out on Best Buy! That was very quick!
Well, this is certainly strange! Even though Nintendo said yesterday that The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D Limited Edition would only available at Amazon, GameStop, and Fry’s, it’s currently up for pre-order on Best Buy.
You can place an order here. Be quick, as stock will likely sell out fast.
In a recent issue of Famitsu, it was confirmed that Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker will feature characters from Durarara!!, a Japanese light novel series. Celty Sturluson, Izaya Orihara, and Shizuo Heiwajima will all see cameo appearances.
Famitsu doesn’t go into much detail regarding their involvement, but they will partake in battle. We should learn more in the weeks ahead.
If you’re wondering what the connection is between Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker and Durarara!!, artist Suzuhito Yasuda worked on character designs for both projects.
From Soy Sauce has been hard at work on Touhou Super Smash Battles, a new fighter for Wii U. The game will release sometime between October 2015 and February 2016 on the eShop.
Here’s what you can expect:
– Several modes including Vs., Break the Targets Board the Platforms, Story
– Online will be supported
– 8-player online support might be possible
– Anywhere from 15 to 23 stages
– Anywhere from 15 to 26 characters
– Touhou Super Smash Battles will make use of the USB Multitap for GameCube controllers
Adventures of Lolo is coming to the North American 3DS Virtual Console tomorrow, Nintendo’s website confirms. It will be available for $4.99. If any other Virtual Console games are being added to the eShop tomorrow, we’ll find out once the Nintendo Download report is issued.
