Skyward Sword and Mario 3D Land Smash Their Way Through Records!

This month has marked a fantastic milestone for Nintendo. Lately they’ve been falling behind the likes of Microsoft and Sony who have been dishing out fantastic and epic games including Gears of War 3 and Uncharted 3. But this month it seems as though Nintendo are back on track!

Firstly, Super Mario 3D Land is now the fastest selling Mario handheld game ever, shifting over 500, 000 copies in America alone since its release date. Yes, that means it beat its predessor New Super Mario Bros., marking a big step for Nintendo. This game has marked a new turn for Mario fans, as not only do you get to play in an all new fantastic 3D world, but you also get to play in some of the same styles seen in previous Mario games, giving us that classic Mario feel! The only problem people may face with this game is the difficulty, it may be too hard, may be too easy, we do not know, only you’ll know the answer to that!

Ocarina of Time is undoubtly one of the greatest games ever made. The first full 3D world of Zelda and it broke and pushed boundries that no other game could have achieved in the day! Moving to the future where a new Zelda game lays at bay, Skyward Sword then comes and breaks records not only for the fastest selling Zelda game on the Wii, but also the fastest selling Zelda game…EVER! This game carried a heavy amount of positive reviews even being considered as being on par or greater than Ocarina of Time itself! This month has proved that Nintendo can smash their way back into the holiday season race against their rivals! Not only do they have these two big guns at their dissposal, they also have the release of Mario Kart 7 for the 3DS, which is being hailed as the greatest Mario Kart game ever. We will be putting our review of this game up very soon and we can promise that it brings good news!

So what do you think? Are Nintendo back in the game or will this be a very short lived burst for them? Of course they will need to carry on bringing these epic games out, but they will also need to keep their consumers at bay for more exciting titles that would earn them that hard earned cash!

Mario Kart 7 is released on the 3DS this Friday!
