Nintendo Runs Into Problems On First Day Of Full Game Downloads
One of the advantages of living in Japan, as opposed to the United States, is you get to play New Super Mario Bros. 2 first, unless you were trying to download the full game.
Yesterday was the first day of full game downloads in Japan and it coincided with the release of New Super Mario Bros. 2. Online issues for new features are fairly routine, but it doesn't make them any less annoying. According to Nintendo, the problems have already been cleared up, but it does make you wary if you were planning on downloading New Super Mario Bros. 2 on release. You may want to spring for the retail copy, just to avoid possible disappointment.
New Super Mario Bros. 2 releases on August 19, alongside the 3DS XL.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
