Nintendo customer service not sure when Super Mario Bros. 3 will be out on the NA Virtual Console

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 14 Comments

Although it should hardly come as a surprise, Nintendo customer service has no clue as to when Super Mario Bros. 3 will be launching on the North American Virtual Console.

Super Mario Bros. 3 landed in Europe right before the end of 2013 – for both Wii U and 3DS. Meanwhile, there hasn’t been any news about a stateside release aside from the fact that the game is coming… eventually.

Reader Andy decided to email Nintendo customer service in hopes of obtaining an update. Not much was revealed, but you can find the full response below.

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe now has a “TBA” release date for European 3DS eShop

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe may not be launching on the European 3DS eShop in the middle of February as originally expected.

Nintendo initially listed the title for release on February 12 on an official page. Since then, however, it has been updated to “TBA”.

I still think we’ll be seeing Super Mario Bros. Deluxe on the European eShop in mid to late February due to the Nintendo Network Promotion, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
