Mario loves gold! Gooooooold!
Out of all the many titles being shown off by Nintendo at this year's E3, New Super Mario Bros. 2 for the 3DS is closest to launch – it'll be in stores around the world in a little over two months. And since it's already so close to release, it's understandably the first of this year's E3 crop to get itself a finalized boxart.
Here's what you'll be looking for on stores shelves on August 19:
As you can see, Mario and Luigi's obsession with all things gold has infected even the box itself. You've got coins, coins and more coins. You've got the new Gold Flower power-up. You've even got a golden backdrop – and I wouldn't put it past Nintendo to give it some kind of shiny, sparkly printing effect to make it stand out even more when you see it in person.
Remember, though, that New Super Mario Bros. 2 will also be the first game Nintendo will launch with a simultaneous digital download edition – so you can skip the trip to the store and just grab the game straight from the eShop this August. But how will you be able to resist owning such a shiny, physical box? I think I may have to stick with the tangible release on this one.
