New Super Mario Bros 2 has gotten its last two downloadable content course packs, each with a distinct focus on satisfying fans looking for a challenge. The "Mystery Adventures" pack and the "Impossible" packs are available for $2.50 each, and both add three new courses to the Coin Rush mode.
New Super Mario Bros U might be capturing the spotlight as a standout Wii U launch title, but Nintendo is releasing some free downloadable content to keep the 3DS New Super Mario Bros 2 going as well. The company announced today that it is releasing a free "Gold Classics" pack, with three new courses inspired by the revered elder games in Mario's library.
Nintendo's historic first foray into downloadable content begins in just two days: October 4th. On that day, Nintendo will release three DLC packs for New Super Mario Bros 2. Each pack contains three new courses to play in Coin Rush mode, and each will cost $2.50.
Additional packs will arrive at the end of October and at the end of November.
It's amazing that after 25 years, Mario is not only still relevant, but a dominant force in gaming. While he's starred in countless platformers, we've never tired of them because each new title brought with it surprising innovations. Last year's Super Mario 3D Land, for example, remains one of the only games on the 3DS to justify turning the 3DS depth slider on. Unfortunately, New Super Mario Bros 2 fails to live up to its name; it brings nothing new to the table. By failing to innovate, NSMB2 is easily the stalest game in the mainline Mario franchise.
New Super Mario Bros 2 shows an obsession with gold coins we haven't seen the likes of since Yukon Cornelius in the old Rudolph TV special. So what inspired the developers to make the sweet clink-clink of coins the central point of the game? Apparently it began from a power-up in Super Mario 3D Land, and with quiet muttering.

Nintendo is making a fresh push into the digital age with the 3DS and Wii U, both of which are set to offer full retail games for download. Apparently the company is committed to this idea. The first such game is New Super Mario Bros 2 for the 3DS, due in August, and Nintendo announced today that it will offer a little extra Club Nintendo perk if you download the digital copy.

When Nintendo said New Super Mario Bros 2 was all about the money, they weren't kidding. Nintendo has announced that New Super Mario Bros 2 will be the first game in the company's history to offer for-pay DLC after launch. Additional "Coin Rush" stages will be developed after the game comes out.
Although this may signal a change in Nintendo's strategy, NOA president Reggie Fils-Aime was quick to point out that NSMB2 will be "full featured," and that no content is being removed for the purposes of being made into DLC.
At Nintendo's 3DS showcase this evening, the company showed off a few levels of New Super Mario Bros. 2 in action, and highlighted a few of its features. The game will include full co-op throughout the entire game, a marked difference from the multiplayer Battle Mode of the previous DS title.
As expected, Nintendo plans on selling retail games digitally through the Nintendo Network. The first first-party game to be available at both retail and on the eShop will be New Super Mario Bros. 2, scheduled for release in August. And that will be just the beginning. "Starting from this software, the company will offer the software titles that Nintendo itself publishes in both packaged and digital download formats so that our consumers can choose the way to purchase them," the company announced at its most recent investors' meeting.
Nintendo has reported its results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012, and they weren't pretty. The company reported an annual operating loss of 37.3 billion yen (approximately $460 million), the first time in the company's history of reporting such a loss. This is a slight improvement from its adjusted forecast from January, which predicted a 45 billion yen loss.
Nintendo unveiled a new Mario game over the weekend: New Super Mario Bros. 2 for the 3DS. We take a first look. Then, how is BioWare maintaining the momentum for Star Wars: The Old Republic? Finally, a brand new week means a new set of releases.

Nintendo has unveiled the identity of its secret 2D Mario game for 3DS. It's New Super Mario Bros 2. (Although it's technically the third game in the New Super Mario Bros franchise...) Once again, Tanooki suits are all the rage, as seen in the first screenshot for the upcoming sequel. It's unclear if the game will support multiplayer as in New Super Mario Bros Wii, but given the portable's smaller screen real estate, it seems unlikely.
