Nintendo announces new games for Mario's 35th anniversary

Classics from across the decades will be remastered for Switch console as well as real-life Mario Kart Home Circuit

To mark 35 years since the original Super Mario Bros was released in Japan on the Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo will debut a raft of Mario games - some remastered versions of old classics and some entirely new.

Super Mario Bros 35 is a new multiplayer game in which 35 players compete to be the last Mario standing (or jumping). It will be available from 1 October on the Nintendo Switch console. A new version of Nintendo's classic 80s Game & Watch will be available from 13 November, which will play both the original Mario game and an updated version of the Game & Watch classic Ball.
