New Super Mario Bros. 2 will launch on 3DS in Europe on August 17, two days prior to its US release on August 19. New Super Mario Bros. 2 features a strong focus on Mario’s iconic gold coins; it seems it is all about the money, after all.

Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, a new 3DS title in the popular, long-running puzzle series is also incoming, with the news that it will feature a new free puzzle every day for 350 days after launch. Nintendo Direct trailers for both New Super Mario Bros. 2 and Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, as well as videos for Pokemon, Pikmin, Kirby and eShop’s 8-bit Summer collection can be found elsewhere on VG247.

Nintendo’s Kirby is 17 years old today. The bouncy pink blob made its first appearance in in Japan on April 27, 1992 with Hoshi no Kirby, which released later in the West as Kirby’s Dream Land. Happy Birthday, you daft, weirdy thing.

Celebrate by looking at this GameGirl post of Kirby colouring pages, Kirby cakes and other Kirby “woman” things.

What happened to that Kirby rolling tech demo on GameCube? It still hurts, Nintendo. It still hurts.

This is awesome. Mike Dailly, one of the original DMA Design staffers, has shared his photo collection from the early days of the studio, which eventually became Rockstar North and took responsibility for that funny Grand Theft Auto Game.

“Mike Dailly, one of the originals from DMA has uploaded several photo sets to Flickr, showing the background daily life of DMA from the early 90′s right through to the point the company became Gremloid/Rockstarred,” said PR stalwart. Brian Baglow.

There’s some amazing stuff in there, including a 3D visualisation of the original GTA, as well as a game called “Kid Kirby”, which never released.

According to this and this, Wii versions of both Animal Crossing and Kirby are on track for a 2008 release.

Both titles appear to only be slated for Japanese at the moment, and Nintendo has said nothing of the games releasing in the rest of the world up to now. The Animal Crossing game has previously been rumoured to be a full-blown MMO (yikes) but, again, Nintendo’s said nothing as yet.
