According to early sales numbers from Nintendo, the digital version of New Super Mario Bros 2 managed to contribute to only about 5% of the game's total sales so far.

While the numbers are low, Nintendo states they are still happy with their experiment and still plan to provide more games having digital copies in the future for the 3DS.

A potential big reason for the lack of sales in Europe was due to GAME and a few retailers having discounts when the game was released which made the digital version more expensive but the same wasn't true in the US or Japan regions.

I now have a 3DS. The gf bought me one for my birthday, which I had a feeling she would considering I bought her one for her birthday.

Hasney and Kalyx, I need 3DS friend codes from you both.

I don't have one currently, I'll be getting the XL later this year.

Hmm, first DS I got was because I got my ex-gf one for her birthday.

If you get it at Gamestop, they are having a current promotion of buy an XL or XL bundle, and get a free game in return.

Although the free choices are pretty much limited to just Steel Diver and Pilotwings 3D.

Is that an in-store deal, too?

It should be considering the web page has no restrictions and a quick google check says its been confirmed to be in-store as well. Just have to make sure the clerk is aware when the purchase is being made so the game gets the discount.

Lol, most retail chains have been doing that same bundle for a while now. I guess they're anxious to be rid of Steel Diver and Pilotwings 3D.

To be fair, wouldn't you?

I mean, at least Pilotwings has retro SNES appeal, but even then....

Yeah, Pilotwings is a cute little tech demo, but not exactly worth the asking price.

Also, had trouble seeing the 3D proper in the game. Could see it on the 3DS menus fine, and in the 3D camera, but Pilotwings? Turned that shit down almost immediately.

While Scribblenaughts Wii U version is getting Mario and Zelda series characters, it turns out the reason they got left out for the 3DS version was due to timing. 3DS version was finished before the Wii U version and the idea for those characters occurred during the period the carts were being mass produced for the game.

Capcom announces Ace Attorney 5 for the 3DS will be the first game in the series to feature voice acting although it will lose the series special sound effects as a trade-off.

The DLC is a series of Coin Rush level packs based on classic SMB 1 and SMB 3 levels.

Quote:
Nintendo released the free-for-now Gold Classics Pack based on iconic levels from Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3.

The first of the pack's three courses looks to be based on 1-1 and 1-2 from the first Super Mario Bros. As for the second course, that looks like a mixture of offerings from SMB3, including the always-vicious arcade minigame. Finally, the third course invites players back to Bowser's castle, as per SMB1. As shown by the above Nintendo Direct, the pack offers NSMB2-themed twists on the two NES classics, including multiple routes.

The nostalgia-stuffed DLC is free until January 31, 2013, after which it costs $2.50

So if you buy a 3DS XL in Europe before January 15th, you get a free game download. Nice choices too.

Super Mario 3D Land, Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, Freakyforms Deluxe, New Art Academy, and New Style Boutique... OK, so 2 of them are nice choices.

According to some leaks, the special edition Fire Eblem 3DS that was previously a Japan exclusive might be arriving in the US once the game itself is released. The game itself is expected to be pre-installed on the device like previous games that got special bundles.

It's too bad it's just the 3DS and not the XL.

I really hope they do a special edition 3DS XL for Luigi's Mansion.

Updates for both Luigi's Mansion 2 and Castlevania: Mirror of Fate.

Luigi's Mansion has been confirmed to have multiplayer in the form of 4-player co-op called "ScareScraper." No details on if its only local or also online.

Quote:
This teamwork based multiplayer mode has multiple Luigi clearing out floor after floor of ghosts before you run out of time. Based on a team’s performance you can earn various bonuses and powerups between floors, with boss battle taking place at the top floor. With the number of floors ranging between 5 and 25, it will bring a lot more gameplay to share with your friends.
http://www.screwattack.com/news/luig...sion-dark-moon


A few more screens, the box art, and a few more details were revealed for Castlevania: Mirror of Fate. The game is rated M, has both a 2D-ish mode and 3D mode, and appears to follow more of the classic Castlevania style than a "Metroidvania" one.

A local auction has a black 3DS still in the box up for auction starting at £80. Seems like a good deal. As usual, something like this comes along when I don't have the money to spare .

Still think E3 will be when they reveal a redesigned model with a second stick, though.

Nintendo announces they are going to take a more active approach when it comes to making usually Japan-only games be more available worldwide.

First step is to help out any Japanese developer who is making a 3DS and wants to release it worldwide and can't either because of money or other reasons.

Errors in regards to shipping have lead to several places and retailers to delay the release of Fire Emblem: Awakening by a few days with several Best Buy, Gamestop, and Amazon locations affected the most. Walmart and a few other retailers were not affected.

Monolith might be developing a game for the 3DS based on a recent job posting on Facebook which had experience in working with 3D CGI as a requirement.
