GDC 2011: Nintendo Announces Netflix, New Mario Game for 3DS


Earlier today, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata gave a keynote address at GDC, of which the 3DS was a main focal point (glasses-free 3D pun!). A number of cool things were announced for the device, including Netflix functionality, which launches this summer. Also, Game Gear and TurboGrafx-16 games will be available for the 3DS Virtual Console, which you'll remember comes along with the eShop update that's scheduled for late May.

The biggest news, though, is that a new Super Mario game is coming to the 3DS! It's being developed by the same team that did the Galaxy games on the Wii, which can only portend amazing things. We'll learn a lot more about this one at E3.

Thanks to GoNintendo for being awesome as always.
