New console and mobile games: the Nintendo comeback continues

As usual with Mario games, the bright and colourful levels of Mario Sports: Superstars are a lot of fun. Each one offers a few tournaments where players have to compete to get to the top.

He might not look it but Nintendo’s chubby mascot Mario is actually a superb athlete. The world's best-known Italian plumber is displaying his sporting prowess in a new game for the Nintendo 3DS, Mario Sports: Superstars.

In the game Mario tries his hand at golf, football, tennis, horse racing and baseball and he’s accompanied by friends and opponents such as Yoshi, Princess Peach and Bowser.
