    Posted Image

    A new info trailer of New Super Mario Bros. 2 for the Nintendo 3DS was shown at Nintendo Direct. It will release in North America the same day the Nintendo 3DS XL will, which is August 19, 2012. New Super Mario Bros. 2's main focus is to collect 1 million coins. New Super Mario Bros. 2 includes a new Coin rush mode to see how many coins you can collect in 3 levels. Your high scores can be shared via Street Pass, and you can challenge each other's scores. There are many powerups in this game, including the Super Leaf. Most of the powerups, however, are coin based, such as the Gold Ring, Gold Block, and Gold Mario. The Gold Ring turns all your enemies into gold. This way, when you defeat your enemies, you earn coins. If you throw a Golden Koopa Shell, you keep on earning coins as long as the shell moves. The Gold Block is a block that goes on Mario's head. It turns him into a moving coin factory. Every time Mario steps, walks, or runs, he earns a coin. The Gold Mario Powerup is like a Golden Fire Flower. Almost everything that your fireballs touch turns into coins. New Super Mario Bros. 2 will also be able from the Nintendo eShop. Speaking of the eShop, Nintendo will be making new downloadable Coin Rush stages for New Super Mario Bros. 2, after it comes out. Nintendo has already released a Japanese New Super Mario Bros. 2 Website! To watch the New Super Mario Bros. 2 info video click here.
