    Alice O'Connor posted a new article, New Super Mario and Mario Kart announced for Wii U.

    You'll never guess what, right. Nintendo is making a new Super Mario game and a new Mario Kart game. Cross my heart! I can't give you any useful details about either, okay, but I swear it's true, Nintendo really is making more games in those long, long, long-running series. May Queen Elizabeth herself strike me down if one word of a lie has crossed my lips.
