Puzzle & Dragons Z and Puzzle & Dragons Super Mario Bros. Edition were both officially announced for overseas territories during today’s Nintendo Direct. These two games will be available in one package this May.

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.

Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition is heading west, GungHo Online Entertainment has confirmed. A date hasn’t been set, but it is indeed coming.

GungHo Online Entertainment stated on Twitter today:


GungHo Online Entertainment just announced its new 3DS collaboration title with Nintendo earlier today. It wasn’t expected that Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition would be confirmed for overseas territories so quickly, but we’ll take it!
