It'll also be the first ever side-scrolling Mario game to come with simultaneous multiplayer action, and a slew of nostalgic nods to previous Mario games is promised, with hidden blocks containing 1UP mushrooms, flagpoles, goombas, piranha plants and cheep cheeps all making an appearance. Heck, we're so excited we even added some screenshots for you. Not as excited as this chap, however.
Alongside this, Nintendo has also announced Magnetica, a puzzler in which "marbles roll down a twisted path toward the goal and it's up to players to stop them by launching new marbles into the oncoming ones. The marbles will disappear if players match three or more in this massive marble elimination." Nice. What's more, with a June 5th release date in the US and E3 2006 approaching fast, it shouldn't be too long before we get a closer look at both games.
