New Super Mario Bros. 2 has received its final price point on the North American eShop. It’ll cost $39.99 for the game download.

Using the eShop is one of three possible methods available for New Super Mario Bros. 2 purchases. You can obviously buy a full, boxed version or you can pick up a download code from retailers.

In the end it won’t make sense for a good portion of consumers to purchase the new Mario title directly from the eShop, especially with some of the boxed deals that have been floating around already. Some retailers may decided to discount their download codes at certain points, too.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.
