3DS News

Nintendo is treating us to some excellent news this week. First off, we have official release dates for the next two Mario games: Super Mario 3D Land on November 13 and Mario Kart 7 on December 4. Mario Kart 7 will feature Metal Mario and Lakitu as playable charactes and there will be new powerups, including the Fire Flower. Players will also have the option to play in first-person mode and steer using the gyroscopic sensor. (These are United States release dates. Check your region's Nintendo website for your region's release dates.) Luigi's Mansion 2 and Paper Mario will be released sometime in 2012.

Also, a new color is coming for the 3DS in Japan this October. It's Misty Pink. See the following link for the color. http://www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/release/2011/110913.html

Nintendo is also adding a second joystick as an attachment to the 3DS. It is compatible with games released so far. It now gives players dual analog controls. See the following link. http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/hardware/accessories/index.html

Kid Icarus: Uprising will not see a 2011 release, as game developers stated that they need more time. They plan a 2012 release for the game.
