Mario returns in one of the best titles available for the 3DS right now...
Extremely well implemented 3D effects, great level design, classic platforming challenges.
Initial parts of the game may feel a little too easy for experience players, and the difficulty curve can feel a little random at times.

THOSE concerned for the Nintendo 3DS console in its floundering first few months should fret no more thanks to Mario, who has come to rescue in not one but two new games this Christmas. One sees the Italian plumber back at his karting best. The othe...

Nintendo’s been cranking out Mario games since, well, since videogames as we know them were invented. Literally. So, despite the fact that the jumpy plumber’s had the odd little hiccup - where “hiccup” means only great, rather than incredible - the one...

The 3D in Super Mario 3D Land is a gimmick. But it's because it's just a gimmick that it actually works. In every other 3DS game, I always turn on 3D initially, then turn it off again minutes later. It's distracting when you move the screen a quarter i...
Lots of game to explore with a brilliant 3D implementation, if your eyes can stand long exposure to it. The fixed camera angles are the only thing to push Super Mario 3D Land from challenging to frustrating at times...

When the 3DS first launched, there wasn't a clear system seller game among the debut titles. Sure, Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition and Nintendogs + Cats were nice, but they didn't have universal drawing power. It wasn't until 2011 was ending that the m...
