Nintendo has today issued an updated European/UK release schedule for 3DS. Highlights include Mario Tennis Open on May 25, SEGA’s Rhythm Thief on April 5 and Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir in quarter two.

Mario Tennis Open: For the first time in a Mario Tennis game, you will be able to compete against others in online matches. Players can earn points by winning matches and make their way up the leader boards that are included in the game.

Rhythm Thief & the Emperor’s Treasure: You will be whisked off to Paris on a musical puzzle adventure like no other. Only by sticking to the rhythm and solving a number of puzzles will you be able to crack the mystery behind the disappearance of the master thief, Raphael’s father.

Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir: A truly unique horror experience that utilises all of the features of the Nintendo 3DS system to bring the frights to life. Use the accompanying “purple diary” – a 16-page AR Book included with the game – to view ghostly images and interact with the world like never before.
