Nintendo of America has shared that Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 are the first 3DS games to sell one million units each in North America alone. There’s also the confirmation that the 3DS itself has crossed the four million units sold mark.
We’ve seen snippets of the online mode in Mario Kart 7, but after the break there is four minutes of footage of the mode in action. It’s worth a watch.
Want to see yet-another-trailer for Mario Kart 7? Well you’re in luck, because there’s one after the break.
Mario Kart 7 has received an almost-perfect score in Famitsu magazine with a 37/40. Here’s what the reviewers said about it:
The game’s made so you’re always able to stage a comeback, making it approachable and enjoyable for anyone. Competing for time is also exciting, and there’s more than enough room for hardcore play here. The Community feature makes netplay a lot more accessible than before, and finding opponents via Street Pass is also impressive. It’s really exciting to think how the community’s going to unfold. There are a lot of changes here, but play it and it’s definitely still Mario Kart. That goes to show how complete a game it’s become. It’s accessible enough that even new players can enjoy it, and when you get into it, you really get into it.
I have a feeling people are going to pick this up no matter what the score is though.
Famitsu magazine in Japan has revealed that their next issue will have some big news. The magazine is usually filled with big news, so for them to advertise it well in advance means this piece will be bigger than usual. And while there’s a chance that the big news might not be related to the 3DS, we can always hope. The next issue will also have info on Mario Kart 7 and new details about Kingdom Hearts 3D.
