Nintendo released a trailer for New Super Mario Bros. 2, which highlights some of the coin crazed plumber brothers activities we last saw at E3.
The game looks to continue the gameplay from New Super Mario Bros., featuring side-scrolling platform action as Mario or Luigi once again. The game has an obvious emphasis on coin collecting, with various items dedicated to producing large amounts of coins. These include Gold Flowers that turn blocks into coins, rings that temporarily turn enemies gold and a block mask that produces coins as Mario runs, as well as a gold variant of the Super Leaf. The game also features a Coin Rush mode, where players can play through a set of three levels collecting as many coins as possible with only one life. Players will be able to challenge other players over Streetpass. If you're not the competetive type, you can also play co-op in like two brothers should.
Give it a try on the new 3DS XL, which is out right before New Super Mario Bros 2's release on August 17th.
