The Game Boy classic Super Mario Land will be available for download when Nintendo of America opens the Nintendo eShop on Monday evening, June 6. Nintendo 3DS users will first have to download a free system update to access the digital store.

Alleyway, which features a spaceship-paddle piloted by Mario, is set for a June 6th release as well.

Super Mario Land and Nintendo eShop will also launch together on June 7 in Europe, Australia, and Japan.

Free Excitebike for everyone? Wasn't there a rumor site or something that predicted that? Or did we already know that?

Accompanying the system update available on June 6, it has been confirmed that under certain circumstances when making a selection before the race starts in "Grand Prix" in "Single Play" mode of the Ridge Racer 3D game, the screen sometimes freezes. If you do not install the system update at this time, the symptom will not occur.

We apologize for any inconvenience. We will have a system update in mid-June that should take care of this matter.

In Ridge Racer 3D, pressing the B Button to return from Race Selection or Machine Selection may cause the screen to freeze. If the screen does freeze, please press and hold the Power button and turn the system off then retry. There should be no impact to the save data.

LOL WTD?

ProTip: Hold START or SELECT when selecting a Game Boy title to play it in its native resolution. This also lets you play on a 3D Game Boy. Even better, to turn the screen sickly green, hold L+R and press Y.

I got killed by a Goombo because the screen was so small, blurry, and green and I couldn't see what the heck was going on. LEGIT

You need only hold Select. Source: http://codebook.potchgult.com/3DS%20SYSTEM%20%283ds%29.html

ProTip: Don't try to reply on a message board when there's a four-year-old with no attention span in the same room.

So if Start also works by itself, someone should tell David.

Good, I'm not the only one going through this.

Deezer should never use the computer then. :p

I know that feeling. My two year old daughter is hard to keep up with, though lately she will sit (or stand, rather) and watch whatever movie we happen to put in for her.
