Mario and Donkey Kong and Mario and Luigi!

[OB1]

Damn, I can't wait for both of these games! Especially Mario & Luigi.

Mario & Luigi:

May 13, 2003 - Nintendo today announced Mario and Luigi, an original action RPG game to be released by year's end. The game is being developed by Alpha Dream, the team that brought to life the Tomato Adventure series on systems' past.
Mario and Luigi features a unique control scheme where players take control of both characters both during the wandering and battle phases. The battle sequences are very much inspired by Paper Mario on the Nintendo 64, with turn-based attacks that can be enhanced by real-time button inputs.

Players take control of both Mario and Luigi as they try to save Princess Peach's stolen voice. When her voice was taken, it was replaced with explosive expletives that's destroying the kingdom. Bowser, who arrived to kidnap the princess, now needs the Mario Bros. help due to the Princess' now destructive voice.

The game features both real-time action as well as turn-based battles where players must have the Mario Bros. work together. Solving puzzles and defeating enemies will require teamwork.

No release date, other than a tentative Q4 schedule, has been announced. But we'll have full hands-on with the game tomorrow at the E3 show floor.

Mario and Donkey Kong:

May 13, 2003 - Nintendo snuck a new game in the company's press kit issued today, a mysterious title Mario & Donkey Kong. No details were made available from Nintendo, but we're hoping to learn more about the game when E3 begins tomorrow morning.
The game may be a design evolution of Donkey Kong +, a game revealed at last year's E3 that was an update to the very fun and popular Game Boy game, Donkey Kong. But we'll know for sure when we find out game details from Nintendo tomorrow. In the meantime, check out the first screenshots.

Hot damn, this also looks awesome!
