More New, More Flat Mario Title Headed to 3DS

"Viking Brent" Adams — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 14:37:32 +0000

Despite the latest Nintendo handheld being marketed largely around its 3D capability, lets face facts: Mario kicks maximum ass just fine in two dimensions; and he’ll be doing so again shortly.

During yesterday’s investor presentation by Nintendo President Saturo Iwata, we learned that Big N is “planning to release a totally new side-scrolling action Super Mario in 2D as a key title for the Nintendo 3DS in the next fiscal year.”

No further details were given but the timeline would fall sometime between March this year and next. Personally, we’ll take side-scrolling Mario anyway, anytime we can get it.

Forums Back Up – Some Posts Lost

"Viking Brent" Adams — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 11:27:18 +0000

So the forum update didn’t go quite as smooth as I’d hoped. The update is now finished but we did lose the last eight hours’ worth of data. Any posts after about midnight (my time) last night, I’m afraid, are gone. If you posted in this window, please re-submit your entry and sorry for the hiccup.
