“A new One Direction video in glorious 3D is available to download via the Nintendo 3DS video player right now and this trailer offers fans a sneak peak of the action!” the company say.

The video shows the boys hanging out at a London go karting track to promote the latest racing game Mario Kart 7.

“Harry, Liam, Louis, Niall and Zayn are dressed to impress in red hot racing suits and take their competitive races from the console onto the track, and also find time to pose with a new moustached Italian member of the band…” Nintendo say.

Lovers of real music will be pleased to hear none of them sung.
