Nintendo has today opened a full-fledged website for New Super Mario Bros. 2. As you can see, it’s no longer in a teaser state.

Perhaps the most interesting addition to the site is a “Worldwide Coin Total”. If you have SpotPass enabled, your coin count will be added to the overall total on the New Super Mario Bros. 2 site. Nintendo asks, “How high do you think it will go? Let’s find out together!”

Thanks to Andrew S for the tip.

The page contains a bunch of already-shown screenshots, an old trailer, and gameplay bits.

Helios Interactive was once working on a Spyro MMORPG for the Wii along with the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

The game, titled “Spyro Kingdom”, would have continued the events from The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon. Players could create their own dragon, take on quests, decorate their cave, and level up. Helios was planning on including Spyro, Cynder and Sparx as NPCs.

For whatever reason(s), Activision decided not to pursue the project after Helios presented a working demo and production art.

A couple more Spyro Kingdom videos have been posted below;.

This is a big year for Kingdom Hearts. The series is celebrating its 10th anniversary, and one could argue that Kingdom Hearts 3D is the first “true” follow-up to KHII.

Given the amount of convoluted plots and storylines that have been made over the past decade, it could be intimidating for new players to step inside the Kingdom Hearts universe. Square Enix’s Tai Yasue commented on this and more in a new interview.

Head past the break to read up on what Yasue had to say.
