We never got one, and I'm happy for that.

For those with the game: is it easy? I mean, NSMBW had hard parts off and on in every world. Same here? Cause I hope so.

WOW thanks for the info about the DVD in SMG2
And about the booklet too me the only things I miss is the "intro story"... Or are they still there and I'm missing them ?

Didn't know it was on YouTube, lol. I remember watching the first 3 minutes with a friend on launch day. We both looked at each other and started laughing at 1:08 xD

@19Robb92 Haha yeah, we sat there and watched the whole DVD (I think it's about half an hour in total)... great stuff!

So the European box is yellow? Does North America get something that cool?

Maybe, may e not, on one hand NSMBW was red, on the other Japan got a yellow box for the original MSMB, but the rest of the world didn't, but that also makes it more Lilly we will since Europe got it, but I'm going digital so it doesn't matter

So I managed to make a quite quick progress through the game... i'm already at World 4 ^^' (There are 6 main worlds and the 2 other are found via warpzones)

And it sure is more challenging to find them without a guide ^^ For now, I'm having a blast playing it, Reznor has a scream that is so deadly and cut, I like it !
Also, I play it on the 3DS XL and it does look good, albeit a bit pixellated when the small characters are concerned.

Edit : And I love my Banana Yellow box, it looks cute !

There's going to be a midnight launch event in North America!

They were thinking about doing a midnight launch here... but decided that was stupid considering it's coming out on a Saturday anyway.
Saturday morning launch is much better.

...WTF...this isn't Mario! xD
I miss those times where Mario voices for interviews for games and what not. xD

I got an e-mail from Nintendo. It launches at midnight in US on the eShop. I'll let you guess what I'm doing at midnight on August 19, conveniently my half birthday.

Sweet a launch party in my own home

Idea...

The New Super Mario Bros. 2 video everyone needs to watch! Not kidding, this is epic! So many references! Spoiler at the end by the way.

Edit: Fixed!

Thanks!

I can't decide if I should get this digitally or not. xD
Getting into town is a pain sometimes. >.>

How difficult is this game and how much replay value will it get me? I loved Mario 3D Land, but I beat every level with both Mario and Luigi, got a Golden Flag, got every star coin, and beat the ultimate secret level in 18 hours 26 minutes, according to my activity log. I even did a little bit of speed running, so I arguably did more then absolutely everything in the game. I played Resident Evil: The Mercenaries for over 27 hours, so yeah. I don't want to get this game at $40 if it has the same kind of play value as 3D land. Oh, and I doubt I'll ever play co-op, so that also puts a damper on things. Thanks to however answers my question.

@moomoo Have any leftover eShop credit? I do, thus the game will only be like $15 for me.
