Nintendo 3DS news: Mario, Netflix and more
Nintendo officially announced today that a new Mario title is in the works for the 3DS, the company's soon-to-be-released portable 3D system.
Satoru Iwata, Nintendo's president, made the announcement today during a speech at the Game Developer's Conference in San Francisco. Tech-Out didn't get to be there, but we did get Nintendo's bulletin.
In Mario news, Nintendo revealed the same team behind "Super Mario Galaxy" and its sequel are at work on the new game.
The 3DS is scheduled to be released March 27 in the United States at an MSRP of $249.99.
