Nintendo has published some new screenshots and artworks for New Super Mario Bros. DS.


Nintendo recently announced that "New Super Mario Bros." for Nintendo DS will hit stores just before E3 on May 7, 2006. This will be the first title for Nintendo DS where we'll be seeing the return of the Mario Bros. in an all new adventure. The storyline reads: "On the heels of Valentine's Day romance is in the air, even in the Mushroom Kingdom. But Princess Peach wasn't able to celebrate with her special someone, seeing that 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 all-new power-ups like the BlueShell, in which Mario can ride, and a massive Mushroom that makes him ultra-huge. The title features stunning 3-D models moving through lavish, cleverly designed 2-D worlds, culminating in a final showdown for the freedom of Princess Peach. Just like the old days, this'll once again be a fun game to play and is something that you'll probably never get on Sony's powerful PSP.
