Japan is getting a new Dr. Mario game on 3DS today

‘New’

During today’s Japanese Nintendo Direct, a new Dr. Mario game was revealed for the 3DS platform, and was subsequently released after the presentation. I’ll use the term “new” lightly, as it doesn’t really look fundamentally different from its predecessors.

Based on the footage it looks like the classic iterations, but it also includes online play, download play support, and Dr. Luigi. No western plans were confirmed.
