Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
New Super Mario Bros. 2 and Onitore launched in Japan today as a package and download release. Unfortunately, Nintendo encountered a few issues as it fully immersed itself into the digital space.
Both titles went on sale at 9:00, but issues popped up almost immediately. Nintendo’s server information page states services related to the eShop were facing issues leading to downtime between 9:00 and 11:30.
Everything appears to be and running now, at least!

Well, you can’t get much bigger than the Olympics! Of course, not everyone watching would know that’s a 3DS… but it’s still neat that it made an appearance.
How the New Super Mario Bros. 2 camera works in multiplayer
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
New Super Mario Bros. 2’s multiplayer mode works a little bit different than the Wii release in terms of camera control. Whereas the console game has more room to work with since the action takes place on a television screen, NSMB2 sees players progressing on two relatively small screens.
In local co-op, an arrow is placed over either Mario of Luigi. The arrow indicates which player is “in possession” of the camera. If you’re left without the arrow, you’ll need to follow the other player around.
It is possible to gain control of the camera. Simply power-drop on your fellow friend and you’ll see the arrow hover over your head.
