A new Mario sidescroller is coming to 3DS this summer, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has announced.
New Super Mario Bros. 2 is to be a follow-up to the popular Nintendo DS title New Super Mario Bros. as well as New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
The sequel was revealed during a Japanese video presentation hosted by the company in Japan yesterday. It’s currently targeted for an August release.
