Daisuke Yamamoto and Kazuki Morishita from GungHo Online Entertainment have stated that they approached Nintendo to see if they would be interested in creating Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition for Nintendo 3DS. Morishita says they contacted the Kyoto based firm with a Happy New Year greeting to inform them that Puzzle & Dragons Z had shifted over one million units. They then informed Nintendo that they were more than open to creating spin-offs based on the franchise. Here’s what they had to say.
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.

Not the magic more like the uncreativity and rehashment
