Mario and Sonic are going head-to-head once again, in a new game for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
Sega has announced that Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 is on its way, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
They also announced three more Olympic-related games, including Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 Arcade Edition, Olympic Games The Official Video Game (PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch) and Sonic At The Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 (iPhone/Android).
In the announcement video posted on Twitter, Mario and Sonic are seen competing in a series of track and field events, and there are also a series of clips from the wide range of available sports in the Olympics' official game.
This marks Mario and Sonic's return to the Olympic scene, having skipped the Winter Olympics last year.
The two iconic characters first joined forces for an Olympic video game on the Nintendo Wii in 2008, selling a whopping 10 million copies.
In February, Nintendo announced that Super Mario Maker 2 will be released in June this year.
In the game, players will be able to create the Super Mario course they've always dreamed of, thanks to more tools, items and features.
That's not the only exciting news for Switch owners, however, as Nintendo also announced a re-imagining of the classic Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.
Originally released in 1993 for the Game Boy, Link's Awakening is one of the most popular games in The Legend of Zelda series. It was the fourth installment in the Zelda franchise and the first made for a handheld console.
