pre-order

New details regarding LEGO Super Mario have continued to roll out this week. We now know that things will begin to launch on August 1, and a few different sets will be available. You can find additional information in our post yesterday here.

In other news, pre-orders have started to open on the official LEGO site. It’s revealed an additional product: the Monty Mole & Super Mushroom Expansion Set, which is free when you pre-order the LEGO Super Mario Starter Course.

We have more photos of LEGO Super Mario below, including a first look at the Monty Mole & Super Mushroom Expansion Set.

Update (4/6): This is now up for pre-order on Amazon Canada. Meanwhile, for whatever reason, it’s now unavailable on Amazon US – we’ll let you know if that changes.


Original (3/31): The Super Mario-kun manga has been ongoing in Japan since 1991. While the series has never been localized into English previously, that’ll be changing this year.

Viz Media has announced that it will offer an English version under the name “Super Mario Bros. Manga Mania”. Rather than releasing individual volumes, it sounds like we’ll instead be receiving a highlights compilation.

Here’s an official description:
