Mario and Zelda dated

Nintendo has confirmed the release date for two of its biggest releases this Q4 – multiplayer Wii platformer New Super Mario Bros and DS adventure outing The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks.

The former will be available from November 20th in the UK.

Anyone familiar with New Super Mario Bros on the DS will have an idea of what to expect, though Nintendo has re-worked the formula to accommodate four simultaneous players.

Meanwhile, Zelda’s latest adventure, The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, will be steam rolling onto DS on December 11th.

Boasting a graphical style in keeping with both DS predecessor Phantom Hourglass and familiar GameCube outing Wind Waker, the new game shuns boats in favour of a railroad theme.

The news follows yesterday’s announcement of an October 30th release for Wii Fit Plus.
