If you’re interested in the upcoming launch of New Super Mario Bros. 2, you may want to check out the latest Iwata Asks. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, director Yusuke Amano, art director Masaaki Ishikawa, and Takashi Tezuka take seven pages to discuss the 3DS title, Mario overall, and more.
It’s a bit tough to summarize seven pages of content, so we don’t have comprehensive summary like we usually do. However, a brief roundup of information has been posted below.
The full interview can be read at this link.
We’re posting about Toki Tori again. Why? Because the series is awesome, and we’re excited for the 3DS Virtual Console release of the Game Boy color title.
Two Tribes’ latest update is that the VC game is one step closer to launch.
The studio posted on Twitter earlier today:
“Closing in on the Toki Tori Game Boy Color 3DS Virtual Console release! We had to transfer the original 2001 ESRB rating for some reason.”

Mega Man Legends 3 was cancelled quite a long ago, but the series will be represented on the 3DS… sort of.
As is revealed in this week’s issue of Famitsu, Tron Bonne and Servbot will join the roster for Project X Zone – Capcom, Namco Bandai, and SEGA’s crossover project for Nintendo’s handheld. Both characters are well-known for their appearances in the Mega Man Legends series.
Famitsu has other Project X Zone character confirmations as well. Bahn from Fighting Vipers along with Reiji Arisu and Xiaomu from Namco x Capcom will be playable.
