Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has offered his opinion on a few important topics. He recently discussed on Nintendo’s lack of interest surrounding the next-gen console race, its plans to return to profitability, and the need to make Wii U’s pricing right.

Nintendo has today opened a full-fledged website for New Super Mario Bros. 2. As you can see, it’s no longer in a teaser state.
Perhaps the most interesting addition to the site is a “Worldwide Coin Total”. If you have SpotPass enabled, your coin count will be added to the overall total on the New Super Mario Bros. 2 site. Nintendo asks, “How high do you think it will go? Let’s find out together!”
Thanks to Andrew S for the tip.
Kirby’s Dream Collection: Special Edition is now out in Japan. Photos of the lovely package have been posted above.
Level-5 has opened an official website for its 3DS RPG Fantasy Life. You can access the site here.
The page contains a bunch of already-shown screenshots, an old trailer, and gameplay bits.
One random note: it’s mentioned that one of the title’s elements, “My Room”, will allow you to build up your room and expand it into something larger.
