Here’s an interesting little note about the New 2DS XL. With the new system, Nintendo cut down on the length of the stylus that’s included. It may not be a massive deal or a drastic change, but one that you may care to know about in any case.

Within the past few days, it seemed as though Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions had leaked for 3DS. Data for the game was found sitting on Nintendo’s eShop servers, and that was followed soon after with an apparent icon.

Adding to that, Kotaku has some additional evidence that Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions is the real deal. When the game’s icon surfaced this past week, the person who shared it also posted the icon for Ever Oasis – another 3DS title. Kotaku played Ever Oasis this week at a preview event and verified that the icon is legitimate. Since it hadn’t appeared elsewhere, it would appear that the icon posted for Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions can also be trusted.

At this point, I think it’s safe to say that Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions will be announced soon. A similar situation occurred with Zelda: Twilight Princess HD.
