Nintendo is including a booklet with all physical copies of Super Mario Maker. In Japan, we’re hearing that the item will be sold directly by Nintendo online to anyone who bought the digital version. They’ll also have access to a free PDF version – as is the case in Europe.

In the latest trailer for Super Mario Maker, the game’s Japanese packaging was unveiled. What you see above is the “box” it will come in. And inside is the Super Mario Maker disc (with its own boxart) and artbook.

It’s basically a throwback to the boxart for the original Super Mario Bros. on Famicom! Pretty neat stuff.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Square Enix is planning two versions of Dragon Quest XI. There will be a home console release, plus the handheld version. Both games feature similar stories but are quite different in many aspects.

When Square Enix is ready to ship Dragon Quest XI, fans in Japan can rest easy knowing that the game will be available on both 3DS and PlayStation 4 on day one. This was confirmed by Square Enix’s Ryutaro Ichimura. Of course, we don’t know how things will play out with NX.
