New Mario Kart 7 screenshots! This new entry in the Kart series, coming to 3DS on December 4, has new features including first person view and terrain vehicles.

Here’s a few screen shots from Cooking Mama 4: Kitchen Magic, the first Mama game to come to the 3DS. I’m told that the 3D elements of the game will mostly be limited to the slapstick effects of certain recipe failures, and not be a primary focus (as the series is generally meant for children). It will however make use of the 3DS’ gyroscope for minigames like spreading butter over a pan, or grate cheese.

New recipes will include, designer cupcakes, gourmet popsicles, takoyaki, New England clam chowder, corn dogs and cherry pie, and there are said to be 200 minigames. This version also introduces versus Challenge Mode multiplayer with up to four people! No word on any StreetPass features, though.

It’s nice to see some Super Mario Galaxy and Paper Mario influences thrown in the new core Super Mario title, coming to 3DS. These E3 2011 screen shots are so early, no translation has been done yet!

Since the Luigi’s Mansion 2 art was so popular, I have a feeling you folks will love this. Watch Luigi suck it up in the Luigi’s Mansion 2 trailer, fresh from Nintendo’s E3 2011 show.

The Japanese trailer for Ocarina of Time 3D’s Master Quest! The inclusion of this beefed up version of the N64 title, originally on the Gamecube, is probably my favorite detail of the 3D-make. Anyone else?

I’m almost disappointed that the game I’m most excited for on the 3DS is one I’ve already played eight times over.

Almost. Did you SEE these screen shots? They practically look HD compared to the original.
