Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land Officially Dated

Finally!

The Nintendo 3DS has been through a lot in it’s current 6 month lifespan; lower than expected sales, lackluster initial software offerings, and stiff competitive pricing from it’s handheld rival Sony, but after so many lows, Nintendo is finally entering what could very well be looked back on as the 3DS’ golden era. An invigorating price drop, an amazing ambassador program for loyal, early adopting fans, and of course, strongest of all, an extremely solid software offering going into it’s first holiday season.

Of course we’ve already seen Ocarina of Time 3D come and go, Star Fox 64 3D is almost here, but what’s really going to shoot the 3DS into the software stratosphere isn’t (albeit it awesome) remakes, but the original titles – Mario titles to be exact. And two of the system’s biggest games ever now have solid release dates, while we knew that Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 were going to hit in November and December respectively, we now know exactly which days (in North America at least).

Super Mario 3D Land hits November 13th, and Mario Kart 7 will follow exactly three weeks later on December 4th. Gamers, start your pre-orders!

    Thanks

    @jets555

    Super Mario 3D land jets555 for two reasons 1. It’ll be a better game 2. Need for speed will drop in price over time but Mario ganesh tend to hold on to there value for a long time :)

  8. Abcdude says:

    Wait, didn’t MTV take the dates off and nintendo said the dates were wrong?

  9. rjp123 says:

    i knew it a few months ago there was a post that super mario 3d land was being made and the first thing i wrote was “this game is coming on november 10-15″
    also i love that they named it mario kart 7 it has a better ring to it than adding a different word

  10. nintendo3ds says:

    How do we know this is real? I heard this already.

  11. epiclauncher says:

    dammm, super mario 3d land comes 3 days just after my birthday. and i dont think i can wait almost a month to get mario kart 7 for christmas.

  12. Sam Walker says:

    I’m pretty sure this is just a fairly unreliable rumour… Also, are these date for the US or Europe? I’d assume US since they’re sundays…

  13. Sam Walker says:

    Alright, I take that back, it looks like this might be accurate! Maybe MTV actually got it right, and forced Nintendo to play their hand.

  14. Cal says:

    This is a very clever move by Nintendo, they know the Mario Kart games are very successful and popular, this will shift a lot of units for Christmas, especially if they do bundle deals! I can see the 3DS being close to sold out for Christmas, I know iPod touches are popular at Christmas, but like everybody has one already!! :o

  15. Maxx says:

    ooooh this is suuuch a great new! :D can’t wait!

  16. Jeremy says:

  35. jets555 says:

  36. Mister Foxy-Woxy says:

    Too little, too late!! I sold my 3DS on Tuesday after getting completely fed-up with the lack of games being released. I also pre-ordered a Sony Vita. … So long Nintendo, my wallet is forever out of your reach!!

    I completely agree with you.

    I do not currently own any 3DS games with online multiplayer, but I registered you anyway. If you want to register my Friend Code and/or my Wii Address Number I have mentioned it in comment #32. If you register me please let me know. Thank you.

  41. kalelrand1 says:

    @Mister Foxy-Woxy
    well good bye to you too…and vita will be cool but nintendo won’t fall because you left..good bye

  42. Johnny says:

    @Mister Foxy-Woxy
    Seems you chose the wrong time to give up on Nintendo, 2012 is going to be their year, what with all the 3DS games penciled in for then, the release of the Wii U and yes since the Mario games are coming at the end of this year most of the gameplay of them will be 2012 so I’m classing them for N2012

  43. Johnny says:

    Are these the definite dates now? I saw this on 3DSBlog and it said they were guesstimates from MTV.

  44. Premier says:

    Can’t wait til the games are out!

  45. Nutmeg says:

    This is why i prefer 3ds blog. Seriously, this was a RUMOR. Get your facts straight, please.

  46. Nutmeg says:

    Hey, good point. I forget about paper mario. What happened to that??@kalelrand1

  47. Kevin11 says:

    Nutmeg@
    It’s been delayed to 2012…:(

  48. Nutmeg says:

    @Kevin11

    That stinks. At least I can play MK7 and SM3DL while I wait for that and LM2.
