For the First Time, Shoppers Can Either Buy the Packaged Game in Stores or Purchase and Download the Full Version Wirelessly from the Nintendo eShop

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Nintendo has launched both an exciting new game and a cool new system to play it on. U.S. residents can now get their hands on two of the hottest video game products of the year: New Super Mario Bros. 2 and the new Nintendo 3DS XL portable system. Nintendo 3DS XL offers screens that are 90 percent larger than the original Nintendo 3DS, and sells at a suggested retail price of $199.99.

The newest game to play on the system – or the original Nintendo 3DS system – is New Super Mario Bros. 2, the follow-up to the best-selling Nintendo DS game of all time, which sold more than 10.3 million in the United States alone. For the first time, Nintendo is giving consumers a variety of ways to buy the game. Shoppers can purchase a packaged game as usual at retail locations nationwide. They can go to a participating retailer and buy a code to download the game directly to their Nintendo 3DS system over a broadband Internet connection. Or they can simply purchase and download the game on their own from the Nintendo eShop using a wireless broadband connection. Regardless of purchasing method, the game sells at a suggested retail price of $39.99.


A new SpotPass notification from Nintendo reveals more stats about New Super Mario Bros. 2.

Thus far, 35 billion coins have been collected worldwide. 30 billion of those come from Japan.

Japanese players have obtained an average of 2 billion coins per day. Players still have 150 million remaining in the country.

Famitsu transcribed the following quote from Sakurai:

“It’s fun making new skills for new characters.”

Well then… Geno confirmed for the next Smash Bros,! Ah, just kidding.
