Nintendo may be sitting out this year's E3, but that doesn't mean the company doesn't have some games to show. On this morning's Nintendo Direct presentation, company head Satoru Iwata announced what most Wii U owners have been clamouring for: a new entry in the Mario series. The new title, Super Mario 3D World, reunites Mario and Luigi with Princess Peach and Toad (a la Super Mario Bros. 2) for a full, open world multiplayer experience. And much like the unique attributes they had in that second series installment, each character once again brings players special abilities, like Toad's fast run, Luigi's high jumps, Princess Peach's floating jumps and the all-around average Mario. According to Iwata-san,Super Mario 3D World is slated for a December release and will be available on the eShop, as well as in traditional brick-and-mortar shops. But knowing Nintendo's predilection for perfection, it's entirely possible that date could slip into early 2014.
