It has been revealed that the highly anticipated New Super Mario Bros 2 sold 431,000 copies in just two days when it was released in Japan on Saturday. New Super Mario Bros 2 is due to be released in Europe on August 17th, and in North America on August 19th to coincide with the launch on the Nintendo 3DS XL.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$
3DS says booomshakalala to the Vita!!!
what has the vita got to do anything with this….
no wonder this site attracts trolls. you are seriously asking for it. Aeolus will appear i bet
Vita is competition to the 3DS…so it’s related!!!
for your own sake, could you stop being such a fanboy please?
Why for my sake…it’s fun being a fanboy.
A post about a game hell no!
He would never touch this article. When he trolls he gets on Wii U articles and talk about how “its last- gen” and ” PS4 / XBoX 720 are the ‘real next- gen’. “
kinda funny and predictable at the same time. Honestly, anyone who thinks the Wii U is current gen is either an idiot (pardon me) or a troll.
Predictable like the way Nintendo fanboys on this site trash anything that isn’t Nintendo?
Hey i’m a Nintendo fanboy, but I dont trash the other consoles, I give credit where its due.
Man you guys have really turned me into a celebrity here. Im mentioned on every thread. :D
Lol. They’re Blog posts, not threads.
The comment section is a thread, idiot.
Oh, so it is. Thanks.
You make him sound like Bloody Mary. Look in the mirror and say Vita 3 times
I love how you all go ‘omg ms and sony are just in it for the money’ and then also at the same time say things like this
Lol.
kool
Are you a Kremlin? :P
JAPAN LOVE TO GOBBLE UP REHASHES DONT THEY
DRAGONQUEST X IS MUCH BETTER. LEAST IT IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT
MIRA WARAARRAARRARAARRAA
obviously, since GoW had sold well in that region with barely any improvements to the game besides killing a new titan or whatever.
Hey. The fight with Cronos was epic. However, the new GoW looks…meh
Not even including eShop sale, so my guess is around 490,000 total.
Probably even more…I’m guessing 530K with eShop.
If we follow the mantra of a certain other set of fans, then NSMB2 must have had a further 700K in digital downloads…
This of course, is completely ludicrous, but we have to follow that logic to be consistent…
lol…it’s the same mantra SDF have been using to bump up Vita sales which is really quite pathetic even when they bump them up!!!
Looks like Nintendo is on fire this week!!! Let’s give Nintendo a hell yeah!!!!!!!!!!
OBVIOUS FANBOY IS OBVIOUS
obvious troll is obvious…Nintendo fan site buddy!!!
no. you are clearly a fanboy who wishes competiton dead. You can have a ps3 or xbox alongside a nintendo console…facepalm
Oh…I love my X360…and the fact is PSV is already dead or one foot on the grave. I’m just stating facts that PSV is a flop by any definition of a flop. The DC probably did better
than the PSV at this point.
death already when its not even a year old…
give it a break jeez. if u hate it so much let it die alone
fyi i dont like the vita but i dont spout hate. its childish and idiotic. its just a piece of plastic. get over it and set your priorities right
No its a dying system, Sony is in deep shit with this one. They’re selling at a lose and will be for 2 more years! They need to do something!! Seriously its painful to watch it die like it is, slowly.
Sickr should start a thread on what Vita games should come out on the 3DS or Wii U. It would be enlightening to see the responses…not to
mention the hits!!! I definitely have LKS 2 and
DC on that list.
C’mon if Nintendo was the Celtics then Sony must be the Heat. It’s silly to pretend there is no fun in seeing the competition struggle and lose once in
a while. If that wasn’t true we wouldn’t have Aeolus
lol!!!
Fuck the Heat -____- I like sony way more than I like the heat!! Chris Bosh is a dinosaur. I’m still bitter OKC lost ;_; fuckin Westbrook *sobs*
Exactly, the VITA is dead, but tgs should definitely have some interesting game reveals and a price drop wouldn’t hurt. I’m hoping for a price drop in September! *crosses fingers* just cut it $50 sony!
hopefully multi-plat game reveals. I wouldn’t count on a price cut just yet since Sony is obviously in a world of hurt financially!!!
I know!!! They are fucked! I want them to turn it around, but there’s no games in sight! COD? brother has a 360, I’m not watering down my gaming experience. It’s a hard lesson to learn, but Sonys gotta learn it :/.
And the RROD360 is dead in Japan! XD
Word, more like it didn’t really even get born. The first Japaneseconsumerbought a xbox 360, it got the RROD and chucked it into the Pacific to be specific.
Yeah you can but my third 360 broke. Guess I’ll sell all my shit and get an XL to hold me til the Wii U drops.
Can’t wait for this game, it’s going to be good fun!
Comparing this to Pokemon Black 2 and White 2’s launch (which was worse than most Pokemon launches) really shows how much of a powerhouse Pokemon is, even against Nintendo’s most famous series.
Yeah
But Pokemon was born and raised on handhelds, it’s the leading title when it comes to handheld software and the highest selling handheld franchise, it’s to be expected :P
I would also say I think Pokemon gets a lot more advertising over there especially with an (active?) cartoon series.
But as I said, Black2/White2 had a disappointing launch over there, not having sold much over 2 million, and most of that was in 2 days. I’m not saying that almost 500,000 copies sold is bad, but that Pokemon just smash out sales.
Almost half a million copies of New Super Mario Bros. 2 in Japan? Oh HELL YEAH!!!! By the time the game and Nintendo 3DS XL are released in the good ol’ U S of A, I’m buying ’em!!!!!
I’m buying them both aswell. I gots the moneys.
That’s it, Nintendo is finished.
Hi,
Goodbye.
Ooooh nooooo *sarcasm* ;)
Almost half of a million copy in 2 days?!? Holy s*** they sell fast!

Cause I can that’s why :P, if I happen to lose my cartridge for some reason, I have a digital copy :D
Well, Mario is still going strong even after all these years.
