New Super Mario Bros 2

New Super Mario Bros 2 was sold for Nintendo 3D’s devices, both on disc and on the the Nintendo online e-store. The game has sold over 30 million copies worldwide and is the fifth best-selling games for the 3DS.

Official Nintendo Magazine gave the game 90% out of 100, however, heavily criticized the game for its 3D effects and lack of progression in the Mario Bros series, summarizing that "New Super Mario Bros. 2 is the very definition of bitter-sweet, giving with one hand and then taking away with the other. By default it's the best side-scrolling platformer on the 3DS and yes, it's even better than the original New Super Mario Bros. But that came out six years ago now, and in that time we'd really expected the series to have progressed a little further than just a 3D effect and Coin Rush mode."
