Yet another round of New Super Mario Bros. 2 DLC has launched in Japan. Two packs are out now, each costing 200 yen.

“C pack” is a three-star DLC download with three different courses. And the tentatively-translated “Push forward on precarious footing pack” is another three level download with a four-star rating.

Expect North American/European news in the morning.

3DS owners can now update their systems to version 4.5.0-10. Fortunately, the download doesn’t take nearly as long as the Wii U’s new firmware.

The update is fairly minor. As with Wii U, the upgraded 3DS firmware offers improved system stability. There are also minor adjustments that improve the user experience.


If you’re a core gamer, I can’t see this video explaining anything you didn’t already know. Parents could certainly learn a thing or two, though.
