The latest issue of Game Informer magazine has seemingly confirmed that Super Mario 3DS will be released in December, listing it as coming out this winter. This is the timeframe that has been expected, but even so, it’s nice to have it relatively locked down. You can click here to find Super Mario 3DS on Amazon.

Thanks to Travis for sending this in.

  1. QWOP

    Yes, can’t wait. :D

    1. Jmaster720

    3. TheUltimateKoopa

      @sam3ds Apparently that’s from a European release schedule, which you can see here:
      http://i55.tinypic.com/okd6xz.%C2%ADjpg%EF%BB%BF

      How reliable is it, though?

    4. sam3ds

      well yes, that is true, but how realiable is this aswell?

  2. River

    I KNOW WHAT I’M GONNA GET FOR CHRISTMAS.

    1. Belinni

      A new keyboard?

    2. lazygoron16

      lml, good one.

  3. GoingBonkz

    GameInformer is not affiliated with Nintendo…

  4. KidIcarus

    Isn’t December a little late for moms shopping for presents? November would be safer if you ask me…. Plus it means I can play it in November :P

  5. bluej70

    I got this magazine. It said winter, but Iwata, Reggie & Miyamoto all confirmed that it’s coming out 2011 by the end of the year, so it has to be December.

    1. tman23

      gamestop told me november o.O hmmmm odd.

    2. TheUltimateKoopa

      But November is also “by the end of the year”, ‘by’ being ‘before’.

  6. Travis

    Your welcome!

    1. jesse

      lol thanks travis XD

  7. mr.m

    nooooooooooooooooooooooooo

  8. THE MIZ

    yes now i can wait becuz nov im getin dbz,wwe12,cod 4 ps3

  9. louie

    i actully emailed nintendo 2 days ago asking about that i said what holiday they said novermber or december

  10. I hope it comes out December 24, so I can get it for Christmas and still get it almost right after it comes out ;)
    Nah, I want December 1st, the earlier the better!

  11. Mico

    Nintendo wants to release a killer app to destroy the Vita? lol

    Anyway I want it now! lol

    1. Kaizar

      You mean like this:

      Does the streaming plan include 3D movies? We spoke to a Netflix spokesperson  who was happy to clarify:

      We are excited to roll out our new premium 3D movie Streaming Plan exclusive for the 3DS, which will be an extra $9.99 in addition to the $7.99 Streaming-Only Plan. So yes there will be 2 separate streaming plans.  This just makes good financial sense.

    2. Brandon

      lol

    3. Belinni

      I think I’ll buy a PSVita at least 2 years after launch. The PSP fooled me at launch and I had to wait a year after it’s release for any good games. Never again Sony!

    4. itza mufin

      @Kaizar are they serious adding 10 dollars to the 8 dollar fee adding to the other 8 dollar fee of getting movies by mail I give up on netflix. And in other news I just downloaded my nintendo video app via spotpass, i live in america and i came sooner than expected

    5. Kaizar

      Actually itza mufin it’s 2 separate streaming plans so you can stream 3D only for $9.99; with NO 2D & DVD

      or

      You can stream 2D only for $7.99

      or

      You can get 1 DVD at a time only for $7.99.

      But I am personally going to get the Stream 3D ONLY for $9.99 for certain months by switching from 2D only to 3D only during the certain months I want to watch 3D movies instead.

      So like me you can switch to streaming only and before paying for another month you can swith between the 2 different streaming plans, so you only pay $8 to $10 a month; depending on what plan you have for the month.

    6. Kaizar

      I also live in America, California to be specific.

    7. i live in california too

  12. kenneth

    this would be a great time to release it. would be nice if Mario Kart came out in November both games could really bring more people to getting the 3DS and would be great to have for Christmas for many people!

    1. Kaizar

      I hope Mario Kart gets release by Holiday 2011; as in October bitch.

  13. rod

    I’m pretty sure this was already confirmed by Iwata at E3. :P

  14. MARIO12A

    YAY I CANT WAIT FOR SUPER MARIO 3DS :D

  15. MARIO12A

    Oh and nintendo video is now avalible in teh us i have it now

    1. Travis

      I have it to :)

    2. Sarah

      Yep yep… North America has it as of today. ^_^

    3. Belinni

      Sunnuva…

      Apparently Puerto Rico only counts as half american as usual…

      I have Nintendo video but it says “services are not available in your area” just like Netflix.

    4. Etzer

      @Belinni

      Really!? Then, I’m glad I moved to N.Y. I always hated how P.R. is counted as part of the U.S. for some things and not others. It’s a U.S. territory; there’s no reason PR shouldn’t have these features.

    5. sunday jog is one cool block show

  16. lrrl3

    What?? December?? WTF Nintendo??

    Why?? and mario kart.. 29th November, 2011 no???
    -.-”

    buuu¡¡¡

    1. Belinni

      Thing is if games come out at the same time then later on the developers will be making games at the same time which means +4 months of no first party games. Then everyone will complain that the console has no games even though what they asked for has already come out.

      Either way we are getting close to release date anyway.

    2. Kaizar

      We get Kid Icarus somewhere from September to November.

    3. lrrl3

      Kid Icarus sucks… this game is horrible..

      Mario KArt and Mario 3D.. rulez¡¡¡¡¡

      and smash 3d , 2013 -.-”

      Nintendo… bu¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

    4. Jmaster720

      no you suck -_- loser

    5. sectorcodec

      Dude KI is awesome! Shut up Irrl3

    6. What are you taking about kid lcarus looks epic and the last time we had a kid lcarus like 25 years ago

  17. Justin

    Winter could be January or February too.

    1. Travis

      Nintendo already confirmed that it will be out in 2011.

  18. Marquis

    Ah yes, a release month for my game of the year :D

  19. Shebert

    *insert Christmas-related comment here*

  20. Adrian

    That must mean Mario kart is in November, and kid Icarus is sandwiched somewhere in the middle. They cant be dumb enough to have 2 Mario games in the same month.

    1. Kaizar

      Actually Kid Icarus is being made by 100% of the developer’s resources; as in they’re not working on any other video game at all until they finish Kid Icarus, they can’t even work on Super Smash Brothers until after they finish making this ONE game.

      So Kid Icarus could come out anytime from September to November.

  21. …I’m sticking with Paper Mario 3D. (Sorry, don’t care much for the 3D Mario titles.)

    1. Jmaster720

      why?
      the other ones are the main ones that him the most popular video game character in the world!

    2. …You never played Super Mario 64, haven’t you?

    3. I have, I like it. I also played Super Mario Sunshine. I liked that to. I just don’t like the Galaxy games…

    4. thomas1up

      Yeah but this isn’t a galaxy game.

  22. Jmaster720

    Aww thats too far away!!!!
    eh? well the longer it takes the more awesome it will be right?

  23. Noah

    According to a list they gave me when my bro got his 3ds a week or 2 ago, Mario Kart is coming out November 2nd. I’m so excited because i fly down to Florida on the 5th! i will actually have something to do! :D

  24. This one game that i will be getting!!!

  25. Good. Know what I’m buying in December.

  26. Ahmed

    Ok the date will DEFINITELY be christmas bcz 25th december is on a sunday

    1. James Hunter

      -.-

      Think for half a second here.

    2. Han Solo

      Hahahaha! Like every store is closed on Christmas… and that means no kids will actually get it for Christmas because it will be released on that day.

      That would be the worst possible day to release the game…

  27. Alisha

    Awesome. My christmas this year will be filled with games. Super Mario is definitely on my list. :]

  28. kidbuu42

    coming from the people who referred to demon lord ghirahim as a WOMAN. idk they kinda seem ill-informed to me

  29. Well done, Nintendo. Super Mario and Mario Kart are coming holiday 2011, so they’re just in time for Christmas! I can’t wait for the 3D Mario game’s full titles.

  30. rmsaun

    Hmm… From what I’ve been seeing, the advertisements in stores like GameStop say that it’s coming out in November, sometime before the Christmas blitzkreig.

    November…what was it? Fifth? Now I can’t remember. And for all I know, that could be a placeholder date.

  31. jesse

    hell yes this is the game ive been most anticipated for =3 this mario kart and weegees mansion 2 =D

    1. Dustman

      I cant wait to play luigi’s mansion 2, I never played the orginal all the way through cause the only place I could find it was a rental place and the disk was terribly scratched. First on my most wanted games list is paper mario then wegee.

  32. Ozoned

    Weegee!! I cant wait for weegee, mario kart, this game. And in a few years SSB!!

  33. zelda fan boy

    awsome i want it i will sell my xbox if i have to get it

    1. itza mufin

      that is dedication man

    2. Belinni

      It’s a smarter move than selling your 3DS to get it.

  34. Ap0c

    Beste Stef,

    Bedankt voor je e-mail. De levering van de kaarten is vertraagd. De kaarten kunnen elk moment in de Primera winkels liggen, maar helaas kunnen we geen exacte datum communiceren.

    Met vriendelijke groet,
    Het Nintendo Team

    That means that the 3ds point cards are delayed but can hit the stores any moment now! :) Hey can’t be specific about date but expect within a week.

    1. Ap0c

      and they will be at primera (netherlands) so don’t look elsewhere for now. :)

  35. MML3Revival

    Can’t wait.

  36. James Hunter

    This doesn’t confirm it though.

  37. Anaim

    Hope soon Nintendo shares the Demo of SuperMario3ds

  38. Sam

    Doesn’t the Winter timeframe for Nintendo last until February?

  39. I heard Nintendo Video is out now! Why didn’t Nintendo even tell us they were releasing it in NA today?!

    1. anonomouse

      i just downloaded it… it looks like it has much different content then the European and Japanese versions.

    2. Cory AG

      Yeah today I opened my 3ds and Nintendo Video was already downloaded to my 3ds and I was like ??????????????? All I know is NOA got College Humor to sign on to Nintendo Video – and I didnt see that in Europe so…confirmed NOA has better NV content?

  40. wii stream

    ONM also said december

  41. Nozizaki

    David, North America is getting Nintendo Video within a week. It says so on the eShop. They’re going to have College Humor as the first video.

  42. Han Solo

    Looks amazing. I knew it would be out this year! Woo!

  43. Adrian

    Yes, winters do go to February, but they announced this game for the 2011 holiday season, so it has to be December by default, if Game Informer has provided us with accurate information. I am just glad that the game I care least about comes out the latest. I’m more a Mario Kart, Kid Icarus and Starfox fan.

    1. Kaizar

      Same here.

  44. MOZAKI

    OMFG ANOTHER 100000X MARIO AGAIN
    DAMN NINTENDO
    NEVER NEW?
    IM WAITING FOR THE VITA MAN
    THAT THING IS A BEAST
    IM SUPER STONED I HAVE 25 GRAMS OF WEED CANNABIS MARIHUANNA

    1. Noah

      If your waiting for the Vita and your just insulting Nintendo, why did you come to Nintendo3DSblog???

    2. Justin Fairchild

      man that sucks! I cant wait that LONG! even tho itsa good idea to have it 4 like christmas…but it still blows…

    3. Ap0c

      Why you retarded moron keep posting this in every tread on this forum? what is your point? you ain’t got a life?

      Go find vita friends, get outa here.

    4. Andy

      Obvious Troll is obvious.

    5. itza mufin

      dat fake stoned guy ;D

    6. Sarah

      Lolz, I read that and I was thinking for a moment, “Why is he waiting for a vitamin?” ^_^

      …And referencing an early reply to a comment, I can’t help but think that he should be waiting for a new keyboard, not the Vita. :-)

    7. Jmaster720

      just shut up. . . -.-”
      your making your self look like a retard which you probably are for the one that started it all IDIOT.
      go back and play your rehashed COD

  45. Josh

    So the game won’t be multiplayer?

  46. I hope it is novembeer, cause remember in 2009 they released New Super Mario Bros, Wii on Nov. 9 even when acouple mounths before that said it will be on the holidays. So im TRYING to be confedent for the super mario 3ds game to be in Nov. i wonder if there will be a Super Mario 2 and Super Mario 3. Maybe like acouple years from now like late 2013

    1. Kaizar

      Thanks for the good news; by the way your link doesn’t seem to work, but maybe this will:

  47. TheUltimateKoopa

    So, is it August? November? or December? We don’t know, but, if they stick to their promise, there’s one thing we SHOULd be able to safely say… and that is by December 31st, we should all be playing Mario Kart AND Super Mario 3D…. obviously not at the same time.

  48. Jordan

    I never liked 3D Mario’s.

    1. Jmaster720

      good for U :D

    2. Belinni

      Jmaster720 is that a pun for New Super Mario Bros. Mii on the Wii U?

      If so my hat comes off to you.

  49. I knew this already I have this issue just saying I don’t think it will come out in December.

  50. kentiiblade

    Mmmm… we haven’t got much info about the game… Hope its not rushed!

  51. werewolf

    ATTENTION DAVID TURNBULL:

    http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/54456/t1666408-release-date-revealed/ NOT SURE IF THIS HAS BEEN COVERED OR IF THE SOURCE IS RELIABLE BUT HEROES OF RUIN IS TO BE RELEASED ON MARCH 21ST 2012

  52. EpicLight

    Will this be what people have been saying forever that has not come true yet? “Software buys hardware.” If this is true, then Vita won’t get anywhere. We’ll see what Vita brings

  53. Df

    Personaly I am happy with this because,

    1. They shouldn’t crowd their games together because they will lose sales.

    2. It gives me something to foward to when I’m in school. [ It makes the year go by fast.]

    3. By December I will have enough money to buy it.

    So just see the up sides to it.

    1. Kaizar

      And we’re all going to DisneyLand; not but we are getting Mega Man Legends 3 most likely.

      The more good games the stronger the 3DS becomes and apperately whatever doesn’t kill Mega Man makes him stronger, so come on Super Mario & especially Mario Kart 3DS

      http://www.gamingunion.net/news/cyberconnect2-ceo-says-hed-like-to-work-on-mega-man-legends-3–5871.html

  54. ShaDow

    Awesome. By da way MOZAKI, Mario has a lot of series(Super Mario, Mario Bros, Paper Mario, Mario Kart, Mario and Luigi, and the Mario sports and party games) and only makes a new one in each entry about three years apart besides the sports and party games. Mario is their mascot it’s suppose to be in a lot of games.

  55. NintendoMaster247

    YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this already my favorite game even though it didnt come out yet because i love mario (not as much as pokemon) and of the 3d plus the grapichs also the gameplay and story looks great im getting this along with paper mario mario kart and kid icarus on the one and only 3DS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i guess i type to much now!! oh well 5 minutes of my lif wasted again! :D XD ……………………………. see ya!
