New Mario & Sonic game confirmed

Today's Nintendo Direct has just finished, and the broadcast kicked off with a new game announcement straight away. It may not come as a great surprise, but it was confirmed a new Mario & Sonic title will be released to coincide with the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi.

The game was shown off for Wii U, and it looked about what you'd expect from the well-established sports series. Some of the events will be familiar to anyone who played the 2010 Winter Olympics game, whilst also returning are dream events - special mini-games which are set in the Mario and Sonic universes.

As well as being compatible with the GamePad, you can also play the game will a Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuck. There are even modes in which you can use both for a bit of asymmetrical gameplay.

No release date was announced, but going by tradition, one might expect the game round about the end of this year.
