Mario Sports Superstars Combines Five Sports In One Handheld Package
Mario and his pals are feeling athletic again, but their new 3DS outing isn't settling for a single sport.
Announced during today's Nintendo Direct presentation, Mario Sports Superstars pits Nintendo's mascots against each other in five sports: soccer, baseball, tennis, golf, and horse racing.
Unlike other compilation games, Nintendo says these sports haven't been downsized or simplified – for instance, Superstars' rendition of soccer features full-fledged 11-person teams. Nintendo also says every included sport will feature single-player tournaments as well as local and online multiplayer support.
Mario Sports Superstars will launch on Nintendo 3DS next Spring.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
