    Alice O'Connor posted a new article, New Super Mario Bros. U announced.

    As you can't have a Nintendo platform without a Mario game, the company announced one during its E3 showcase today. New Super Mario Bros. U continues the four-player co-op tomfoolery from NSMB on Wii, but also lets someone help them out using the game pad.
