The critically acclaimed Super Mario 3D World should be joining Mario Kart 8 and getting a special red case in the US. A reader snapped a couple of photos of the latest Mario adventure sporting a special red Wii U case. The game will also include a sticker proclaiming that Super Mario 3D World is “The family game of the year”.
Thanks, Alex
Okay…
The blue case actually matches the Wii U logo background…
I downloaded the game, but if I would’ve gotten a physical copy, I’d have wanted the blue case version. Blue goes with every Wii U game.
Yeah, I don’t mind the red case but they should’ve changed the background colour to match the case colour like how they change the background to green for the Luigi U case. It looks ten times better.
And green is my favorite color too! :)
New Super Luigi U is the only case that they did right. They actually changed the Wii U logo background to green to match the case colour. They got lazy here and left the blue background on a red case.

A bit late though?
BEST NEWS IN ALL WEEK!@!@!@
It sure is awesome news. Red cases instead of blue ones. That’s just awesome.
Agreed, the Red cases stand out a lot more when used moderately
That’s not old news? I saw that at target last week, when I got mk8. Btw if anyone wants to race against me, I’m “lekowsky5”
RED CASES!! WiiU SAVED!!
Should’ve done it by launch Nintendo. ^^; Maybe you could’ve scored more sales this way.
No.
Who asked your hypocrite self?
That makes no sense.
Looks like shit
This is important…..why? It’s not getting a price cut or anything….
Usually that doens’t happen until 4 years later…
I think 1 year is enough to warrant a pricecut on games…
Super Mario 3D World Remastered confirmed
Aren’t you Shuhei Yoshida Remastered?…
*wink*
Remasturbaited more like it….
Oh dear…
You can’t even spell it right
intentional spelling of ‘bait’ to create the pun within the pun. Now you’ve made me explain it, thus diminishing its effect. Thank you, thank you so much…..
Forgot the period. Can’t even complete a sentence right either.
Invalid sentence structure, please review.
English nazi/Nintendrone detected
Well you started it by correcting anon’s spelling of masturbated, so how does it feel to get corrected yourself? Doesn’t feel good, does it? lol
Yoshidaclone (or is it ‘-clown?’) detected.
The game has been packaged in a red case for a while now. I saw it at WalMart last week. It’s nice, but not a big deal.
Got the steelbook of MK 8, gg
People it is clearly to draw attention back to it. People notice the different color case when they walk by, it’s smart marketing, something Nintendo rarely impliments so be happy.
Rarely implements? They just did it with both Mario Kart 8 and New Super Luigi U. We don’t have to be happy for anything
Two times for two games, and for one of them it obviously wasn’t effective.
That out of three years of the console’s life.
How does that not constitute rare?
3 games with special cases in 2 years. Why are you calculating based on the lifespan of the console? So yeah, not that rare
Since when were we talking about effectiveness? If you want to talk about that, I can say that all 3 weren’t effective.
It hasn’t even been 2 years yet, let alone 3 years since launch.
It’s good to see more Mario Games getting the red case treatment. I aim to purchase the game someday once the GC Adaptor is out so maybe I will be able to score a copy for a cheap price now…maybe. I hope so!
who gives those stickers anyway? 8 different types of cars, in my country, received the sticker of “the best car of the year” it’s just to call attention heheh.
I guess they’re doing that because red stands out more…
Like your mom
Oh that’s cute how you’re acting tough on the internet.
At least I have a mom unlike you, you adopted peice of shit.
Someone sad about his mommy? Or did he cum on her 14th day;)
Lol what? I have a quesstion.
Were you born on a highway? Cause that’s were the most accidents happen :)
I was born on a clean room, unlike your African mom :)
The trash can is not a clean room buddy :)
That trash can inside the dumpster…
That literally makes no sense. Also racist confirmed!
That is so ugly. Nintendo has no swag.
Just like your mom
Rather have a mom with no swag, than a dead mom, orphan. Don’t you have chimneys to sweep tramp.
Oops, looks like I struck a nerve over your mommy there
You’re the one who started cussing my mum, so why are you saying i’m the one who’s pissed off? You started it, i’m just ending it.
the mom joke again?
#StaleMoves
Such an amazing game! Just when we taught it will be another New Super Mario Bros game.
Sigh, I hate lack of uniformity in box designs. If I didn’t care about saving money more than I did satisfying my inner OCD Ostrich I would’ve, for instance, gone out of my way to avoid buying Platinum PS2 games way back when.
Oh well.
oohhh…red… Guess I better get the game again :P or il have to kill mayself….. …
Anyone knows any shops which still sells Wii points card? GameStop and Target are both sold out…
eBay?
Way too expensive
what the hell look at that price…
mine red from bestbuy.com but no sticker that reads “The family game of the year”.
i saw this in target like two weeks ago. i wonder why they only do this with mario games. its not like they have trouble selling
This is rather an old news. About two weeks ago, I visited my local Best Buy to purchase Super Mario 3D World to play with my friends. I was surprised the game was packaged in a red box. I like how it matches Mario and I hope all future Mario Wii U and 3DS games to be packaged in red box.
IMO, I wanted all Mario games to be packaged in green box in the year of Luigi. But that is just my opinion.
The red cases look awful. The WIi U logo seems so out of place. Glad I got it with the blue. If they’re gonna change it to red they should make the Wii U logo red as well. It’s not like it HAS to be blue.
I disagree. I have Mario Kart 8 and the blue actually doesn’t look that bad. It actually goes well with it.
I don’t mind a red case, but I really love the regular blue cases.
I guess they made a large run of red cases and had extras.
Looks kinda dumb.
I understand why they kept the blue Wii U logo since blue is the color Nintendo chose to represent the Wii U brand. It’s one of the things that sets the Wii U brand apart from the Wii brand which had white to represent it. Besides the U itself, of course.
As a collector, I won’t buy this red case one. I like original releases. I’ll buy the original blue case one used on eBay some day.
Just get the red one. XD
