New Super Mario Bros. 2 offers three save files. But if you decide to share the game with someone else through one of these slots, keep in mind that it tracks the coin total across all saves.

So it’s like this: if you amass 500,000 coins in your slot and a family member nabs another 500,000, the overall coin total will come in at 1,000,000.

Some may see this is a bad thing since you can’t accomplish the one million coins goal on an individual save. On the other hand, gamers tend to keep/play handheld titles for themselves, so it won’t be much of an issue in most cases.

A new, limited edition Kid Icarus: Uprising AR card is available in Japan. Nintendo is distributing the special card (pictured above) between July 31 and August 31.

Rumor: 3DS XL debut sales in the UK “a little shy of five figures”

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors | 0 comments

So the 3DS XL is doing pretty well in Japan thus far. How about in the UK?

While not confirmed, a report suggests that the system “shifted a figure a little shy of five figures” – that would be under 10,000 units. This may not seem too impressive, but keep in mind that the estimate is based on sales tracked over a 24 hour period, not a full week. It did manage to outsell the first 3DS by a factor of just over 2:1. When the 3DS originally launched, it was on the market for a full week.

The 3DS XL’s debut may have contributed to a rise in software sales. Mario Kart 7’s sales increased by 45 percent, Super Mario 3D Land climbed up 37 percent, and Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games rose 25 percent.

3DS XL sells 193,000 units in Japan, NSMB2 at 430,000 units after two days

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

The 3DS XL and New Super Mario Bros. 2 had huge debuts in Japan this past weekend.

Nintendo’s 3DS revision moved 193,441 units in just two days, according to Famitsu’s Enterbrain data. New Super Mario Bros. 2 also came out strong with 430,185 copies sold.

Again, this information only accounts for two days of sales. The 3DS XL, along with New Super Mario Bros 2., were officially released in Japan on Saturday. Enterbrain’s tracking period for this data carried through Sunday.

Also worth mentioning is that Enterbrain’s figure for New Super Mario Bros. 2 does not account for digital sales. Although Nintendo hasn’t announced any data on this front, the company has said that it would be willing to share download data in the future.
