This just in - New Super Mario Bros. 2 will be launching for Nintendo 3DS in August! This all-new, side-scrolling adventure features Mario, Luigi and all your fave characters from the Mario series. Are you excited to play?
youll notice the super leaf and raccoon mario appear in this game, and you can also properly fly! due August 2012.
on the downside i dont care for the art style, it just seems so bland and soulless.. the old mario games seemed to outdo each previous game, the new series seems to add some new elements and new levels and call it a day.
on another note, a firmware update for the 3ds will allow folders so you can clean up your menus.
