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.

Helios Interactive was working on a Spyro MMORPG for Wii
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Videos, Wii | 0 comments
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;.
