Last year, ahead of the release of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe ‘Wave 6’ DLC, Nintendo published a physical bundle in select parts of the world featuring the Booster Course Pass (including Waves 1-5 and a free Wave 6 download).

Now, in an update, it’s apparently released a physical edition with “all” of the DLC on the game cartridge. As highlighted by NintendoSoup, a new physical edition in Southeast Asia features updated Switch packaging, noting how “this special bundle comes with Wave 1-6 DLC”.

The classic Atari and Commodore puzzle game Boulder Dash is 40 years old this year. The game has been re-released multiple times over the years, and it looks we’re getting another version sometime soon.

Spotted via GamePress by Landlock on Twitter, Boulder Dash 40th Anniversary has been developed by BBG Entertainment in collaboration with the game’s original creators and isn’t just a simple rerelease of a classic.

We’ve seen reports online of issues with the 1997 PlayStation platformer ranging from major to minor across all platforms, and the devs have stated that there’s a patch in the works to address known issues.
