This year sees Nintendo and GungHo Online Entertainment partnering to create the quirky Super Mario Bros. and Puzzle and Dragons mash up - creatively called Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition. The latest edition of the franchise arrives in Japan on April 29th for 4,000 yen, and will support both StreetPass and local multiplayer functionality.
If you are one for a freebie, then check out the pre-order bonus above, an original stylus shown on Nintendo's Japanese Twitter account. There has also been an announcement introducing an array of early purchase bonuses, including:
- Tamadra 3DS theme code
- A special ticket to claim monsters in the arcade game Puzzle & Dragons Z Tamer Battle V2
- Original promo card for the Puzzle & Dragons trading card game
Unfortunately these pre-order and early bonuses have only been announced for Japan, but as the game is also coming to the West in a dual-game bundle, we're hopeful that we'll receive the same goodies - or at least equivalents - when pre-order incentives are announced. For a while we'll only be able to imagine the pre-order bonuses that Nintendo and GungHo will be lining up for us.
Puzzle and Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition (bundled with Puzzle & Dragons Z) will be released in Europe and North America on May 15th; let us know if you're excited about it, and whether you'd pre-order for a snappy stylus bonus.

Neat!
Cool stuff. I'm looking forward to this game in May.
already preordered it so I'm super excited for it. Love puzzle games.
No subheader? Need some submissions? How about...
What's in the cards?
Prizes and dragons
Puzzle & Dragons: SMB E-Dishin' out prizes
If Sean Connery voiced the dragons in this game then they would have half a heart like in Dragonheart, but YOUR heart will be filled when you read about these prizes... filled with envy for Japan, and love for Sean Connery
Any other ideas?
Japan may get the stylus, but we get both games - PaDZ and Mario ed for 1 price in a 2-pack. We have plenty of stylus, I'll take the 2 games for 1 price, even though PaDZ came out awhile ago in Japan, it was worth the wait for Mario ed.
Well, we'll be getting 2 great puzzle games for the price of 1 and the only thing I'd like to get is that stylus anyway, so, no big loss here if we don't get this extra thingies
@Zach Super Bonus Bros.? It's weird to see NLife news without at least a pun in the subheader
Not exactly on-topic but i think it's a bit of a shame that the new 3DS XL doesn't include the same big stylus that came with the DSi XL.
It's so much better to play with that.
I already pre-ordered here, though it seems pretty doubtful we'll see any bonuses in NA. Its it too much to hope for the 3DS theme code? Its probably what I'd want most.
Was about to ask when we were getting this, haven't played a puzzle game like this in a while...so, yeah...figured that I would try this one out.
Could someone POLITELY tell me if there is even a release date for either the english or Japanese version of this game yet? I want it, but I can't pre-order it anywhere.
So if this comes as eshop and physical copy it would be a $29.99 game?
