New Super Mario Bros. 2 and Onitore launched in Japan today as a package and download release. Unfortunately, Nintendo encountered a few issues as it fully immersed itself into the digital space.

Both titles went on sale at 9:00, but issues popped up almost immediately. Nintendo’s server information page states services related to the eShop were facing issues leading to downtime between 9:00 and 11:30.

Everything appears to be and running now, at least!

The Japanese release of New Super Mario Bros. 2 comes with reversible cover art. Can any readers out there confirm if this is/isn’t the case with European copies as well?

Well, you can’t get much bigger than the Olympics! Of course, not everyone watching would know that’s a 3DS… but it’s still neat that it made an appearance.

I was just saying the other day how frustrating it is that we still don’t know much about Darksiders II (and other Wii U games) even though Nintendo has a new console coming out in just a few months. You guys probably feel the same way, and so does Vigil Games, the developer of Darksiders II.

In a lengthy exchange with VideoGamer, Darksiders II lead designer Haydn Dalton talked about how he wishes he could just come out and talk about Wii U. There’s other talk about the console as well – the GamePad’s screen, developers supporting it down the road, and more.

We’ve posted the full Q&A with Dalton below.


New Super Mario Bros. 2’s multiplayer mode works a little bit different than the Wii release in terms of camera control. Whereas the console game has more room to work with since the action takes place on a television screen, NSMB2 sees players progressing on two relatively small screens.

In local co-op, an arrow is placed over either Mario of Luigi. The arrow indicates which player is “in possession” of the camera. If you’re left without the arrow, you’ll need to follow the other player around.

It is possible to gain control of the camera. Simply power-drop on your fellow friend and you’ll see the arrow hover over your head.
