Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Nintendo have announced the return of Mario, Luigi and lots of your other favourite characters from the Mario universe in New Super Mario Bros. 2 for 3DS.

The game has been created specifically as a pick-up-and-play experience that can be instantly enjoyed by players of ‘all skill levels’ according to the Japanese publisher – the motive for Bowser’s suspected kidnapping of Princess Peach has yet to be confirmed.

Nintendo are also inviting players to the courts of Mario Tennis Open from 25 May. Serving up fast-paced tennis action, players can play as their own customised Mii characters and choose from approximately 200 special items, including rackets and tennis gear that not only enhance their character’s appearance but also modify their abilities.

Players can also suit up their Mii characters with outfits that both resemble and offer the skills of popular Nintendo characters as they compete in solo tournaments or against friends over an array of multiplayer options which include local online multiplayer which will allow you to play with friends and family and those in your local region online.
