Three Packs for Coin Rush Mode Available on Oct. 4

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Players worldwide have collected more than 100 billion gold coins in New Super Mario Bros. 2 for the Nintendo 3DS portable system. That tally is set to skyrocket exponentially as Nintendo offers new Coin Rush Mode levels for the game. Several new downloadable add-on level packs will be made available to game owners, with the first three packs launching on Oct. 4. Each new pack contains three courses and can be purchased from within the game* at a price of $2.50 per pack. Subsequent packs will be on the way, with the next arrivals at the end of October and the end of November.

While normal Coin Rush Mode offers players three levels chosen at random, the ones in the add-on pack are the same three in the same order every time. That gives players the ability to test themselves against one another on an even playing field.

A new Pac-Man game is in the works. Surprised?

What’s nice about the new project is that Namco Bandai is asking for fan input in choosing the title’s art style.

On the official Pac-Man Facebook page, visitors can vote for one of four designs. Choices include a cartoon-looking Pac-Mans and a more realistic-looking one.

It doesn’t look like Namco Bandai has made an official decision about which platforms the new Pac-Man will be released on. There’s a question in the survey asking about platforms gamers play casual titles on. Options include consoles, PC/Mac, and more.

Fans can answer that question and vote for the Pac-Man art style here.

Thanks to Tom for the tip.

Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda has never expressed great interest in making an online Pokemon. His stance still hasn’t changed.

Gamasutra asked Masuda if he considers there to be potential in a persistently online Pokemon title, and his response wasn’t too surprising.

While Masuda enjoys online play, he seems more interested in face-to-face communication.

Masuda drew a comparison between having a phone call and talking in person:

“I really like online connectivity, but for example, we’re having this phone call right now, and it’s really cool that we can communicate with each other from two really faraway places. But at the same time, it would also be really great if we could talk in person.

“That’s another thing we could do; it’s much more enjoyable when you’re talking in person. So I think the best way is to have kind of both at the same time, being able to enjoy this kind of faraway communication, as well as having aspects that allow you to enjoy communication face-to-face and in-person communication.”
