Nintendo recently announced that "New Super Mario Bros." for Nintendo DS will hit stores just before E3 on May 7, 2006. This will be the first title for Nintendo DS where we'll be seeing the return of the Mario Bros. in an all new adventure. The storyline reads: "On the heels of Valentine's Day romance is in the air, even in the Mushroom Kingdom. But Princess Peach wasn't able to celebrate with her special someone, seeing that she's been taken prisoner by Bowser and Bowser Jr. Only the Mario Bros. can rescue the princess from her evil captors as they battle familiar enemies like Goombas and Koopas along with new foes and big bosses."

New Super Mario Bros. is loaded with features and characters that could only exist in the Mushroom Kingdom, including all-new power-ups like the BlueShell, in which Mario can ride, and a massive Mushroom that makes him ultra-huge. The title features stunning 3-D models moving through lavish, cleverly designed 2-D worlds, culminating in a final showdown for the freedom of Princess Peach. Just like the old days, this'll once again be a fun game to play and is something that you'll probably never get on Sony's powerful PSP.

If Mario Bros. is not enough for you, then be sure to check out for another brand new title heading your way in June. The puzzle game, Magnetica, that involves marbles rolling down a twisted path toward a goal and is up to players to stop them by launching new marbles into the oncoming ones, will be available from June 5, 2006. The marbles will disappear if players match three or more in this massive marble elimination. All actions are controlled with the stylus in this title that satisfies even the strongest puzzle addiction.

These are two great titles for DS owners to look forward to. For more exclusive info on New Super Mario Bros. grab the latest copy of the official US Nintendo Magazine.

# PSP? *shakes head* — deadlock32 2006-02-22 18:56

You can't be serious about that psp comment... every system has its killer app that you cant play on another system. What was your point? You like showing your fanboy side? because the last thing we need is fanboy news. Thats what the forums are for.

Yeah it would be nice if Yoshi was in the game, he was an excellent addition to Mario World. Still this and Tetris DS are my most anticipated DS games... until they announce Zelda DS at E3 anyway! :)

i like how the 3d visuals can be 'stunning' still... given the likes of ps3 and xbox and their gfx. well, i guess there are more and more reasons to buy a ds.
