Random House U.S. and Penguin Random Hosue U.K.’s Children’s Divisions launch publishing program for books based on beloved Nintendo characters

Random House Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Random House Children’s Books (U.S.), and Penguin Random House U.K. have partnered with Nintendo to publish a dynamic range of coloring and activity books for children. The books, the first two of which entered the marketplace in early January, are based on Nintendo characters and worlds, including Super Mario, the Legend of Zelda, Splatoon, and Animal Crossing.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Nintendo to bring the whimsy and adventure of these worlds to the imaginations of our young readers,” said Dennis Shealy, Editorial Director, Random House Books for Young Readers Licensed Publishing.“These activity books will let both new and established fans experience Nintendo characters in a whole new way.”

On January 2, 2018, Random House launched the program with two full-color official sticker books based on the Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda series—Super Mario Official Sticker Book and The Legend of Zelda Official Sticker Book ($12.99). This summer will see the release of Mario Time! and Link’s Book of Adventure (On Sale July 3, 2018 / Hardcovers / $9.99), in addition to Splatoon Official Sticker Book (On Sale July 24, 2018 / Trade Paperback / $12.99). The books in the publishing program include full-color pages with mazes, puzzles, trivia, and more—as well as stickers and other value-added inserts.

“This publishing partnership is an exciting way to bring the colorful worlds of Nintendo to young readers while encouraging creativity,” said Tom Prata, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Strategic Initiatives. “We are always looking for ways to share our fun-loving characters with kids and families in unique ways.”

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze barrel-blasts its way onto Nintendo Switch!

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze barrel-blasts its way onto Nintendo Switch!

It’s time to swing into action—anytime, anywhere! The critically acclaimed adventure is now available on the Nintendo Switch™ system with a banana-bunch of new features.

The Snowmads have invaded Donkey Kong Island and turned it into their personal frozen fortress. Join Donkey Kong, Diddy, Dixie, Cranky, and—playable for the first time ever in the Donkey Kong Country series—Funky Kong on an epic adventure to unfreeze their island!

Features:

Funky Mode: In this new mode, enjoy a range of gameplay updates and the option to play as surfing simian extraordinaire, Funky Kong. Less experienced players may find the additional hearts, refreshed items, and new “skip level” feature very handy.

Funky Kong: He may be a bit of a showoff, but his heart is in the right place. Funky uses his surfboard to hover over obstacles and protect himself from spikes. Speedrunners may also love blasting through levels with his double jumps, infinite rolls, and infinite underwater corkscrews!

Original & Hard Mode: Craving for the classic (and more challenging) experience? Don’t worry purists, Original Mode is included from the beginning and Hard Mode can be unlocked. Just be warned…it’s not for the faint of heart

DK Crew: Master the unique abilities of the DK Crew. Diddy Kong can help out with his Barrel Jet and Peanut Popgun. Dixie Kong can blast baddies with her Gumball Popgun and hover with her Helicopter Spin. And Cranky can bounce on certain hazards with his cane and attack enemies with his…dentures?!

Two-Player Co-op: With a single pair of Joy-Con™ controllers, two players can team up to take on the Snowmads!
