Nintendo has confirmed to Pocket Gamer the final names for its upcoming Super Mario and Mario Kart titles for Nintendo 3DS.

The first new Mario title to hit the 3DS will be called Super Mario 3D Land, and is set to launch sometime in November. Read our preview to see why you should be excited.

The next Mario Kart game, and the first one for the 3DS, will simply be called Mario Kart 7. This is the first time Nintendo has stuck a number on the end of a Mario Kart title, signalling that it may well be trying something new.

Nintendo also confirmed that the game has been delayed by a month, and will now be released in December - no doubt in time for Christmas.
