Amazon packages to be randomly delivered in Mario-branded box throughout November
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Nintendo and Amazon have teamed up in a bit of an interesting way. Throughout November, you may find that a package you’ve ordered from the retailer has arrived in a box themed after Super Mario Bros.
Nintendo says that “the Super Mario Bros. branded Amazon boxes are in limited quantity and will be used randomly, while supplies last.” Furthermore, buying a Nintendo product won’t increase the chance of receiving the branded box.
Outside of the box, there’s another small aspect of the partnership. Amazon has opened a page here where My Nintendo members can earn 100 Platinum Points. The Super Mario Bros. 35th anniversary page lets you look at various Mario products, view a history of the franchise, and find hidden trivia.
Atelier Ryza 1 getting a reprint on Switch

The Switch version of Atelier Ryza 1 has been tough to find for awhile now at retail. If you’ve been looking for a physical copy, you might have turned your attention to eBay, where the prices can be pretty astronomical.
The good news is that an official restock is now happening. Koei Tecmo has confirmed that there will be a reprint/restock “soon” on Amazon. Other retailers may receive new inventory as well, but that’s not confirmed currently.
We’ll keep an eye out on that restock and will let you know when Atelier Ryza is more widely available again.
