GungHo on Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition’s origins and more
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 18 Comments
GungHo Online Entertainment made a surprising announcement this week: Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition for 3DS. Following the reveal, Japanese outlet 4Gamer caught up with a couple of the game’s developers for a brief interview.
First, Daisuke Yamamoto and Kazuki Morishita shared the following when asked when GungHo started planning a collaboration with Super Mario Bros.:
Morishita: We contacted Nintendo with New Year’s 2014 greetings as we reported that Puzzle & Dragons Z had sold one million copies. We said, “we’d like to do more Puzzle & Dragons spin-offs” to president Iwata and Mr. Miyamoto. From there on, we tried to create the Mario version in-house at GungHo as we thought, “wouldn’t it be better to show Nintendo?” Then discussions with Nintendo progressed again.
Yamamoto: We showed a prototype to Nintendo several months after contacting them for the first time.
Morishita: From there, we rebuilt the game anew by combining the action of Puzzle & Dragons and the world and stages of Super Mario Bros.
GungHo indicates that Puzzle & Dragons Z is still planned for the west

Puzzle & Dragons Z launched in Japan back in December 2013. GungHo Online Entertainment previously said that the game would head west, but we’ve still yet to see it in either North America or Europe.
Despite the lack of news, Puzzle & Dragons Z remains on track for overseas territories. Check out this tweet coming from GungHo’s official Twitter account:
@Emolyptic actually P&D Z was officially announced for a western release by our company president – no details at this time, but stay tuned!
