Super Mario Bros. was created more than 20 years ago. On May 7, fans of the Marios will see the brothers return in a new platformer with the launch of New Super Mario Bros. for Nintendo DS.

On the heels of Valentine's Day, romance was in the air even in the Mushroom Kingdom. But Princess
Peach wasn't able to celebrate with her special someone because she's been taken prisoner by Bowser and Bowser Jr. Only the Mario Bros. can rescue the princess from her evil captors as they battle familiar enemies like Goombas and Koopas along with new foes and big bosses.

New Super Mario Bros. is loaded with features and characters that could only exist in the Mushroom Kingdom, including new power-ups like the BlueShell, that Mario can ride, and a massive Mushroom that makes him ultra-big. The title features 3D models moving through complex 2D worlds, culminating in a great finale and the long awaited freedom of Princess Peach.

On June 5, another title, Magnetica launches for Nintendo DS. In this, Tetris style game, 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. The DS stylus is central to controlling the game, that promises to satisfy even the strongest puzzle fans.
