Esh. Guess it wasn't as bad as it could have been. At least Nintendy is trying. I'll give them that.

Wait, I don't understand. What exactly was the issue? The article doesn't say. It's as if part of the article is missing. Or am I not reading it right? D=

I'll stick to the physical copies of Mario games

Is that Minecraft Mario?

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! What a funny thing to happen to the last people to join the digital full game bandwagon! ._.

Can someone explain Super Mario Bros. 2 to me? What is new? Why is Nintendo releasing so many 2D Mario games, I'm getting burnt out...

Did everyone try downloading it at once, or was it a technical diffuculty?

That sucks. On a lighter note, from that picture it seems Mario was in an unfortunate smelting accident.

I'm glad that they managed to fix the issue. At the very least Nintendo is trying to appeal to the fans of digital.

Glad to see the issue is resolved. Now I just have to get a 3DS.

good Download Super Mario Bros. 2

Heh. Didn't see that coming at all.

I wasn't planning on buying it at all.

Let the pirating begins....

It's good to know that Nintendo quickly fixed it. There are always going to be unexpected problems when it comes to networks and the only thing that can be done is squash the problem fast and improve the system.

It is normal for online services to have early problems, it will get better with time, and us lucky Americans probably won't face the issues the Japanese did ;). Personally, I'm not sure if I'll download this or buy retail yet. I see the appeal in download, and I have many WiiWare, DSiWare, and Virtual Console titles downloaded on my Wii and 3DS, but for traditional games, there's something special about owning the actual copy of the game.

The problem is the speed japan has, this kinda of games which are buyed asap, makes the server to be laggy to download the game, this same happens with other sites-hosts like youtube, psn..

You know, I just realized. New Super Mario Bros. 2's fascination/obsessions with making money...it's very similar to Nintendo's attitude in general these days. Pumping out these smaller, far less ambitious, and much less classic games to make as much profit as possible from non-gamers. Just profit, profit, profit - how do we make as much money as possible, as quickly as possible, with the least amount of effort. It's so obvious in hindsight that THAT would be their "great" new hook for a new Mario Bros. game.

Just realized that.

Unfortunately, I'm probably part of the problem. I'll probably get this too. Not sure yet though; there are plenty of already-released 3DS games I've been meaning to pick up. And seeing new copies of, say, Ace Combat Assault Horizon Legacy 3D, Dead or Alive Dimensions or Ridge Racer 3D for $20 sure seem like a better deal than getting a new, lazy, New Super Mario Bros. for twice that...

Lol, Nintendo gamers are sad, you know if Nintendo was last to release full game downloads, they should've at least made it functional. Jeez.

Hopefully Nintendo will get the kinks worked out for the US as well. Hopefully they will really push their online service and not give up on it.
