Super Mario Land 2 Joins the 3DS eShop Lineup
It’s not a half-bad week for downloadable titles on 3DS. A day after getting The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition (also available on DSiWare) for free , a new Mario title for Game Boy is now available for download. Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins is the sequel to the already-released Super Mario Land and, like its predecessor, it’s quite a bit different than the Mario games you may be used to seeing on other platforms.

Castlevania Chronicles: We’ve Been Killing Dracula for 25 Years
Feature Share it: Tweet Castlevania Chronicles: We’ve Been Killing Dracula for 25 Years Looking back at a quarter-century of (mostly) greatness. By: Jeremy Parish September 25, 2011 Twenty-five years ago, on September 26, 1986, Konami launched a brand new game in Japan that would go on to become one of the longest continuously running franchises in the medium’s history. Akumajou Dracula — roughly translating to “Demon Castle Dracula,” which became ” Castlevania ” in the West in accordance with Konami’s weird obsession with pun-laden localization in the ’80s — was actually two different games on two different platforms.

Netflix Adds Game Rentals to its Renamed DVD-by-Mail Service
Netflix is undergoing some major changes, including the separation of its DVD-by-mail and streaming services into two separate brands, as well as the addition of videogame rentals. In a new blog post and accompanying video, Netflix CEO and co-founder Reed Hastings apologized for the way recent changes were made to the service. (Namely, the price of the service increased for those with plans that send them discs and provide streaming access.) This was part of a move to separate the two businesses; it’s very apparent that streaming is the future and Netflix would like to get away from its mailing service, and it’s making a big step in that direction by breaking off the DVD-by-mail service and renaming it Qwikster

TGS: Chun Soft’s Boss is Bullish on Dragon Quest X
If there seems to be an unusually dense concentration of Dragon Quest news on 1UP this week, that’s because the series is highly visible around Tokyo at the moment due to the incipient release of a 25th anniversary collection of the first three titles in the series. And few people know Dragon Quest as well as Chun Soft president Kouichi Nakamura, who was one of the four main creators of the very first Dragon Quest back in 1986. While perhaps not as well known as designer Yuji Horii, composer Koichi Sugiyama, and artist Akira Toriyama, Nakamura was no less instrumental in the series’ inception.

TGS: Japan Takes Its Dragon Quest Pretty Seriously
I know it’s a cliché, but sometimes there’s truth in such tripe: Japan loves its Dragon Quest . Outside of Mario and Monster Hunter , no other game franchise holds quite so much power over the gaming masses — and like Mario, it’s a sway that commands more than just the teenager set.
