Nintendo reveals the first set of downloadable levels for the hit 3DS title.
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/31916
In the latest Nintendo Direct video announcement from Japan, the company has announced new details on how optional level packs will be available in New Super Mario Bros. 2. The DLC feature was announced earlier this year, but no other details were known until now.
The first set of DLC will be grouped into three Coin Rush packs, each containing three levels for the game. The first pack emphasizes the Golden Mario ability to generate massive quantities of coins; Mario is also shown blasting through large groups of bricks with his golden fireballs. The packs are accessed through the Coin Rush menu, but you'll only see the option to view these new levels if SpotPass is activated for New Super Mario Bros. 2.
The first Coin Rush level pack will become available in Japan on October 2nd and is priced at 200 yen. The second pack will follow at the end of October, and the third will arrive in late November. We do not yet have any information on the date or pricing for other regions.
I would be willing to pay $10 for new boss levels and up to $20 for a Giga Bowser boss battle.
Far overpriced.
So... what happened with the N.A. Nintendo Direct? Can't seem to find that one online anywhere.Cancelled.

It's very interesting to see how closely Nintendo can toe the line to Day 1 DLC.
Especially since the DLC just seems to be a few rom-hack levels
I have been seeing reports that NOA was supposed to have one, but then canceled it.
Wow, you are right it's been 3 months since 2 months ago in japan and 1 month ago in euro and usaland, someone get you a nobel prize for discovering that. eat poison.Quote from: martyIt's very interesting to see how closely Nintendo can toe the line to Day 1 DLC.I don't think three months is "close" to Day 1 DLC. But thanks for trying.

I don't care about coin rush. I'd like an extra world for $2 or $3

Calm down, fool.Quote from: NeoThunderI don't care about coin rush. I'd like an extra world for $2 or $3
Yeah, because its perfectly reasonable for them to give you about 12 levels and an entirely new map for the same price of three levels. Logic!

Okay, again, personal insults are not okay. Disagreements and corrections are fine; telling someone to eat poison is not.

$2 for three fun levels is overpriced?
I would call you a "cheapass" but that would be an understatement.
More like they're charging the price of 12 fully levels, an entirely new map, and new boss for just three simple ROM-hack style mini-mode. SM3DL had 16 worlds which boils down to about $2 per each world. Each of these levels shouldn't be more than 25¢ and that's already giving them a decent profit margin.
or for the price of just 3-4 "packs" you can have the entire game SMB, SMBIII, or SMW with far more enjoyment and levels.
I think he means something like Super Mario Bros. 3 has (I think) 90 levels and costs $5 via Wii Download. That's roughly six cents per level - vs. this 67 cents per level - over ten times the cost. :)

You guys are comparing a 20 year old game to one that is barely 2 months old. Ok then. Comparing prices like that is futile.
Yeah, but how many people in the demographic for this DLC haven't played those VC games? If you own a Wii and haven't played Mario 3, unless you bought the system yesterday, why the hell haven't you done that yet?
Does anyone play Coin Rush? That mode is freakin addicting! Can't wait for these new stages!
