Bruce Wayne has been honoured with the prestigious Man of the Year award, but he doesn’t get to enjoy it for very long before The Joker and Harley Quinn decide it would look much better on their mantelpiece. Luckily though, Batman and Robin have a trusty friend who’ll help their cause… Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Superman! He’ll be joining in the action to defeat his own familiar foe, because Lex Luthor is teaming up with the Joker too. You’ll also see the likes of other DC superheroes such as Wonder Woman, The Flash, and Green Lantern come to their aid to save the city from those notorious criminals.

Fans of the series and newcomers alike will enjoy the quirky nature of the characters and chuckle at the light-hearted comedy that the LEGO games are known for.

Why not get your creative juices flowing and tinker around with some character customisation? While you’re at it make sure you check out each character’s own, unique special abilities and see what you find out. With guys like Superman around you’ll be able to enjoy free-roaming flight, as well as new abilities like Super-Breath and Heat Vision.

Get to know everyone’s talents and weaknesses if you want to use your characters well!

Mario Serves Up Portable Tennis Fun in 3D

In Mario Tennis Open, Mario and his Mushroom Kingdom friends return to the court for a flurry of intense tennis action, from engaging singles and doubles matches to skill-building Special Games and online play. Using the built-in wireless features of the Nintendo 3DS system, up to four people can play together in local* or online** multiplayer modes and exchange player information via StreetPass. Players can choose between intuitive Touch Screen and gyro sensor controls or strategic button-based gameplay that delivers an even deeper experience. Players can also choose from a variety of playable characters or use their own personalized Mii character as they serve, volley and smash their way up the leaderboards.

• As many as four players can connect online with their friends for singles or doubles matches. Additionally, Open Match mode can automatically pair players of comparable skill levels. Nintendo 3DS owners who are near each other can also face off via a local wireless connection, even if only one player has a Mario Tennis Open game card.
• Strategy is key as players execute lobs and drop shots or unleash powerful topspin to outlast their opponents in intense rallies. When Chance Areas appear on the court during a match, players can run to them to execute a supercharged Chance Shot. Intuitive Touch Screen controls allow players to easily and skillfully perform different swings. Players can also choose to use the motion controls of the Nintendo 3DS system to precisely shoot to the left or the right in order to ace their opponents.
• Using the Nintendo 3DS system’s StreetPass feature, Mario Tennis Open players can exchange and show off their customized Mii characters and incorporate them into Special Games or competitive singles matches.

The fifth game in the series features 150 brand new brainteasers and a new set of three minigames courtesy of the Professor’s Trunk.

While being presented in the charming hand-drawn style of previous games in the series, Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask on the Nintendo 3DS system uses 3D animations and character models to bring depth to the visuals. There’s also a brand-new game mode that sees the young Professor Layton explore ancient ruins – help him to avoid a variety of objects and reach the exits of a series of puzzling chambers.

• Enjoy new visual depths with Professor Layton for the first time in 3D

Nine people wake up in a booby-trapped warehouse and are forced to play a twisted game of life or death. But who will ally with others and who will betray them? Make the decision for yourself as Virtue's Last Reward brings its unique mix of horror storytelling and puzzle-solving to Nintendo 3DS.

Knocked unconscious and kidnapped, Sigma wakes to find himself in a lift with a mysterious girl named Phi. Before either of them can work out what's going on, they're thrown headfirst into the first of what will be many perilious situations: escape the lift in nine minutes or die. So begins the Nonary Game – a deadly adventure where danger lies around every corner, secrets abound and no-one is who they appear to be.

Taking control of Sigma, you experience the events of Virtue's Last Reward through two distinct styles of gameplay: Novel and Escape. During Novel sections, you need to take in the story and read everything that happens – conversations, arguments, Sigma's thoughts and more – then make decisions based on how you think things should proceed. Those decisions dramatically change how the story progresses and could have dire consequences later on, so it's important to think before you act!

Escape sections are more action-based, requiring you to solve death-laden puzzles by exploring the environment, finding clues and using items. Only by surviving each trap can you hope to reach the end of the game. But with the option to ally with or betray the rest of the group constantly hanging over you, making the right choice isn't always as easy as it may appear...

With multiple endings to discover, a tense story packed with danger and plenty of mysteries to solve, Virtue's Last Reward will keep you coming back for more again and again… providing you can stay alive, that is!

• Experience a fraught tale of honour, betrayal and death told with high-quality voice acting and 3D visuals created with the power of Nintendo 3DS
• Solve mind-bending puzzles and escape deathtraps that will otherwise cut Sigma's life short!
• Make vital choices at key points, influencing the story's progress and ultimately uncovering multiple endings

In a world ruled by two mighty dragons, dark forces rise and threaten to destroy the kingdom of men. Set out on an exciting adventure and experience battles packed with action, strategy and danger as Fire Emblem: Awakening comes to Nintendo 3DS.

As Prince Chrom struggles to stop skirmishes between the kingdoms of Ylisse and Plegia turning into all-out war, a plague of undead soldiers known as The Risen infect the land. Trapped between a warmongering kingdom, an unimaginable evil and a masked stranger claiming to be a legendary figure from centuries past, Chrom's fight to survive may be greater than he ever imagined. Thankfully, he has the Shepherds – his own personal militia – and you, a warrior with no memory of your past, to fight beside him. But as you're drawn further into the conflict, events occur that will change the world forever...

Building on a variety of elements from previous Fire Emblem games, Fire Emblem: Awakening offers an experience that both dedicated fans and newcomers to the series will enjoy. Traditional turn-based combat sees you requiring both skill and strategy to complete stages successfully, while the new 3D visuals see each battle come to life like never before on Nintendo 3DS. Playing to the strength of your units is key, as positioning on the battlefield, the types of weapons used, the range of classes and even co-operative attacks all play a part in ensuring victory.

The more you have characters fight together in battle and interact, the closer their bond will grow; stronger bonds mean better co-operative abilities, so it's worth putting effort into having your characters get along. Outside of bonds, you'll also see your characters gain experience as they battle, increasing both their level and statistics, and a huge range of additional characters – covering a wide variety of different classes and weapon proficiencies – are just waiting to be recruited to your army. What's more, Fire Emblem: Awakening features multiple difficulty levels including Newcomer Mode, where heroes defeated on the battlefield can be brought back for later stages instead of being lost forever.

And there's more beyond the main story of Fire Emblem: Awakening! Join up with a friend and work together to defeat the enemy via Local Play in Double Duel mode, or enhance your army with characters from the forces of other players with StreetPass. Add-on content offering downloadable maps and characters will also be available to purchase following the game's release.

• Turn-based combat meets rich 3D visuals in a game that combines a range of elements from previous Fire Emblem titles.
• Use skill and strategy to win battles, with gameplay that's deep for fans of the series, but also accessible for newcomers.
• Create bonds between your characters by having them fight together on the battlefield, increasing their co-operative power.
• Enhance your army with new characters via StreetPass or join forces with a friend over Local Play.
