Puzzle & Dragons is a match-3 mobile game that is extremely popular in Japan and reasonably well-regarded in the rest of the world (though lagging behind big hitters like Angry Birds and Clash of Clans). If you’re not one of the game’s 41 million players, that may change when developer GungHo teams up with Nintendo to bring a Mario-themed version of the game to the 3DS as Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition.
The Super Mario Bros. Edition of Puzzle & Dragons will be released in Japan on April 29, but GungHo has confirmed that a North American release is also in the cards:
Details are forthcoming, but an overseas release of Puzzle & Dragons Super Mario Edition via Nintendo has been announced.

As the publisher, Nintendo will likely announce a North American release date for Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition soon.
