Nintendo announces that a new platformer called Super Mario 3D World will be launched for its Wii U home console in December.

The new game is designed to introduce four-player cooperative play, with Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and one Toad joining forces in order to get through the variety of levels that Nintendo has put together.

A new cat suit is also being introduced, and the title will open up a host of new gameplay options for gamers.

Nintendo is not yet revealing more information about the story that Super Mario 3D World will deliver.

Gamers should expect another classic Nintendo experience that uses Mario in order to try and drive up sales for the Wii U, which has been performing worse than expected during the first few months of 2013.
