A limited edition, gilded Mario Amiibo appears to be coming exclusively to Walmart as part of a bundle with the upcoming Mario Party 10, according to a poster spotted and shared by Redditor pituvision.

It is not entirely clear whether the gold Amiibo itself is exclusive to Walmart or just as a bundle with Mario Party 10. This does confirm a report from earlier in February that special edition gold and silver Marios would be joining the Amiibo line. The silver version has yet to surface, so let us know if you happen to spot one in the wild.

Mario Party 10 comes out on March 10, 2015, exclusively for Wii U. The poster’s allusion to Easter indicates that this deal should go live sometime in March or April.

Grand Theft Auto Trilogy developer is not happy about this change in latest update

The poorly received Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy -- The Definitive Edition got a surprise and much-needed update earlier this week, but not everybody is happy with the results. After the update went live on PC and consoles, fans noticed quickly that Grove Street Games, the studio that developed Definitive Edition with Rockstar Games, had been removed from the splash screen ahead of the start menu. Now Grove Street CEO Thomas Williamson has spoken out on X about the situation.

"Speaking entire hypothetically: It's a [jerk] move to remove primary developers from credits in an update, especially when an update includes hundreds of fixes that were provided by those developers that stayed out of players' hands for years," Williamson wrote.

Your video game consoles could become much more expensive soon

People have a lot of questions about what a second Donald Trump presidential administration will look like, and one of the big concerns surrounds proposed tariffs on foreign imports, with larger ones targeted for China. If these are passed, it could signal a big change in how video game hardware and software is manufactured and could lead to increased costs for players.

Digital Trends spoke to analysts about the potential impact that tariffs could have on tech like game consoles. As of this writing, the proposal is to implement a 10% or 20% tariff on all imports, but a specific 60% tariff on Chinese imports. Some analysts we reached out to declined to comment on the impact of the tariffs because while Trump has discussed a plan, it hasn't gone into effect and might not. Others, like Serkan Toto of Japanese games industry consulting firm Kantan, warned that consumers could be the ones paying the cost if plans go into effect.
