French retailers will get a total of 40,000 units to dish out to consumers, which might make it a tad hard to find soon after launch. We also got data on the launch shipments for the Banjo-Kazooie, Terry, and Byleth amiibo, which you can find below.

Banjo-Kazooie: 12,000 units
Terry: 8,000 units
Byleth: 8,000 units

When Super Mario 3D World hit the Wii U, 4 players could enjoy much of the adventure together, but not all of it. The Captain Toad levels that were included could only be played by one player. That's set to change for Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury.

According to the official website for Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, the Captain Toad stages will now allow support for 4 players simultaneously. That might make puzzle-solving a bit more hectic, but it's still great to have these levels opened up for multiplayer.

Over a gig's worth of data added to this version of the title, and there's no doubt some of that is due to the Bowser's Fury mode.
