Question: I read about 2 players being able to play co-op on two different 3ds. You have to also have a copy of Mario bros. 2 in each console. I am assuming it only works with two game cartridges? I don't think you can have a digital download of the game on one console and a cartridge in the other?

I'm already going to get to World 6 (the last of the main course, haven't done the other 2 worlds yet) and it is fairly straightforward.

HOWEVER ! The levels are pretty well laid out and you kinda have the feeling that it is an entierely new team that is behind the courses, as it has a different feeling and pretty inventive situations. Also, they offer a few opportunities for exploration, which will probably be crucial for Coin Rush, but the levels are also designed for speedrunners. And there is that 1 million coin thingie that could motivate, though I lazy so I'll probably don't even go past the 100 000 ^^'

So yeah, I recommend it, but you really need to put aside the fact it looks and sounds the same, the feeling here is slightly different (and Reznor is really cute)

Edit : Nintendnut : you need two cartridges unfortunately :/ And as far as the digital/retail thing go, I'm pretty sure it'll be compatible, but we'll wait and see when the game is actuelly released digitally ^^

Holy wow! Now that's progressive.

I've noticed by gameplay videos that the levels are pretty inventive, I can definitely tell its a new team. I think its actually a good thing that we got a Mario game with mostly a younger development team. While they played it safe with the audio and visuals, the level designs seem to be very creative, something that I think improves over the original New Super Mario Bros. level designs.

The more experienced team seems to be going all out with the presentation in New Super Mario Bros. U so I'm pretty excited for what looks to be a fresh experience.

Perhaps, two Mario games in one year won't be so bad after all?

That... is basically what I just said two posts ago ^^' And yeah having actually played the game, I can confirm that they are more inventive on this one ^^

But is it actually worth 45€ ? Eh, I don't really know. 30 would've been great value.

But is it our time or "Nintendo time"?
You know, delaying stuff till the very last moment. xD

It will work with both digital and retail copies of the game. The digital version is the full game; not a gimped version. Both players have to have a copy of the game, but whether their copies are retail or digital, they should have no trouble playing together.

Probably not till 2 for me.

Thanks you guys are really knowledgeable. I am so looking forward now to picking up my new Cherry 3DS XL and Mario Bros. 2. By the way what did you mean by the digital version is somehow better than the cartridge??? Also is is possible to play co op mode with another player via the wifi, like someone else with a 3ds no where near you?

I didn't mean that the digital version was better; I just meant that it had all of the content of the retail one. Sadly though, the game only supports local multiplayer, so no online via wi-fi.

Get an NES for that.

Wait what? Doesn't that mean that you already spent money though? I only have a little more than $2, so I'd have to spend an additional $40, because you can't just ask for $38, so that would leave me with... $2.
I think I'll wait on this for now. There's other stuff I'd rather put my money in.

That reminds me, can you buy whatever on eShop directly? Instead of doing the $10/20/50 thing? >.>

I've wondered this too. Why only let us add $5, $10, etc. When you price the stuff at $4, $7. Like what.

I remember hearing that you could do this on the eShop, hope its true, because it bugged me on the Wii's shop. Always ended up with something like 200 points or something. >.>

Yes you can do that. It was in an update a while back.

Show me the ways of the one who knows.

If your using a credit or debit card, you can add the exact amount you need. Go to the software you want to download and hit "Purchase" or whatever it says (the blue button ). It will bring up a screen telling you that you have insufficient funds (assuming that you do have insufficient funds) and will ask you if you want to add more. Hit yes. It will ask you if you want to redeem a prepaid card or use a credit card. Choosing the second option will make it will show a screen that shows the regular increment amounts ($5, 10, 20, and 50 if memory serves), but beneath that you will see a button that says "Needed Funds." Hitting that will add the exact amount of money you need to complete the purchase. You can also have the system save your card info so that you don't have to enter it every time you make a purchase and it password protects it so that if your system gets stolen, the thief can't buy things with your card.

The more you know. Thanks, that saves me some issues. If only they just updated that for the Wii.

Awesome...now back to deciding if I should get this digitally or not. xD
I need to buy something off the eShop though, I wanna get rid of that 2 cents. lol
