Mario is coming to 3DS in full force, with Mario Kart and Paper Mario already announced for release within the next year, but of course Nintendo is bringing 2D and 3D Mario platformers to 3DS. Nintendo President Satoru Iwata has recently tossed out a tiny scrap of information, and although it's not much to go on it's still Mario on 3DS.
According to an Andriasang translation, Shigeru Miyamoto's EAD group has Mario running into the screen and striking blocks that float in the air. Of course, this could describe pretty much any 3D Mario game since Super Mario 64, but Iwata promises good things ahead:
We're making software that is packed with the kinds of surprises and enjoyment that the 3DS can deliver.
Hopefully we'll see Mario's platforming outings at this year's E3 in June.

Awesome!
This had already been said elsewhere. Sorry I can't remember exactly where but he had basically said the exact same things about Mario on 3DS.
Why is Nintendo porting N64 games to this? The GameBoy Color was an NES, the GameBoy Advance was an SNES, the DS was/is an N64. The 3DS should be making Gamecube and Wii level games.
Sorry thecomment was off-topic. What I meant was that I'm glad Nintendo is planning something like Galaxy 3(D) for this deserving handheld.
@JumpmanZ A good game is a good game, regardless of its original platform. I'd rather have Wind Waker 3D than Ocarina of Time to be quite honest but let's face it, any Zelda is a win.
And no worries on the off-topic
you mean i have to wait till 2012 for those mario games well there better be some first party titles from them coming out this year
MOAR INFO
Super Mario 64 3Ds would be epic, and fits perfectly with the OoT rerelease.
How many generations of handhelds are we away from Super Mario Galaxy 3D (drools)
Yeah, another Mario game. What else is new? I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm honestly starting to get sick of Mario games. Especially Mario 64. I'd only care about a sequel to Mario RPG (a true sequel with Geno and such) or a game that has the same mechanics as SMB3 but just has more levels (like those e-reader cards only Japan got).
I'm hoping this new one is a platformer that can live up to that. New SMB was a good start.
I think Mario Galaxy has been milked enough. It's time for new ideas
^ It has two games; that's not even a trilogy.
Although, a new idea would be better than making another Galaxy game.
Sounds like it could be similiar from what was shown in the the first 3DS trailer.
Cool.
Awesomeness, can't wait!
I'm still waiting for a 3D Mario game that plays like SMB. No life meter BS, no stars, just straight old school Mario platforming utilizing that extra dimension.
Yeh yeh, nintendo comin at cha full throttle, sony ba-by... better raise dat white flag before its too late, ya digg. Seriously though, we all saw this coming (well at least i sure did). While not as excited as some other individuals, i think Nintendo is making the right move in attempting to popularize 3D Mario games to the same illustrious degree of 2D Mario games.
@Robo-goose: I don't think the Galaxy games were meant to be a trilogy. I don't see where Nintendo will take Mario in a third game other than maybe more levels. Not all games need to be in a trilogy.
Sounds like...that this could mean we're FINALLY getting Mario Bros. level builder game!...Ok not really, but....come on! T_T
personally hate What @BellGoRiiing said. I Personally hate hackers because they ruin the game and whatnot. But the some hackers hacked NSMBW and they could build there own stages. I was drooling over the possibility of having a stage builder. Imagine! Shiggy making new stages for us and we get to download them. Much like what they did with Mario VS. Donkeykong.
Ofcourse other people can make their own stages too and put them up for download too.....But i would definitely prefer shiggy's stages
...Erm, you lost me...you hate what I said but you would love to have a stage builder? Wat? o.0
@lz20XX
It was the fact that you said "milked" as if it were guitar hero. Nintendo made two Mario Galaxy games, and the second one was fresh. Activision made five guitar hero games, not including spin-offs, and they're all practically the same.
There's a big difference between making a sequel, and milking a franchise.
"Mario is coming to 3DS in full force, with Mario Kart and Paper Mario already announced for release within the next year"
What? Weren´t these games supposed to come out before June?
Awesome! I'm always up for a new Mario game!
Bring on the new Mario.. I'm satisfied with any Mario game now that comes out. If we do get a Stage Builder that would be awesome. But if not like I said still will be an awesome game.
LMAO @ the exchange between #20 to #19
@19:
I'm happy because they're using the strategy that Mario games are best at, showing off systems' capabilites.
The mind boggles! Can't wait for more info!
Yaay! Supre Mario Sunshine 2 3D!
i love paper the Mario series.i want the game sooo badly
This game definitely won't dissapoint
A remake of SPM? That would be awesome.
My interest in the 3DS is on the fence. In the meantime, I'll stick to my Gameboy Color, GBA SP, & unfortunately broken-hinged(for the time being) DS(original). However, a Mario/Zelda/Metroid game, esp. a main series game(read: not spin-off) might just convince me to buy the system.
I think we need a real SM Land 3, where you can play as Mario. We also need a Luigi Land.
Meh, Mario is always fun. What's not to love about a (platformer/rpg/kart) Mario game?
Yeah i'd prefer Gamecube ports to N64 Ports at this point. Considering the DS handled SM64 it can obviously handle other N64 games... So whys shouldn't the 3DS be able to do better? Unless of course they added content, framerate, and graphics and stuff. I'd really want original games. Not that old ones are bad. Especially Star fox64 3D and OoT3D. But we have played any deserving N64 game on VC. I want new material! It's obvious theres plenty to offer from that point but i was kind of let down by OoT and SF64 being remade. I've played both of these and i would much prefer a fresh Zelda or to bring back the old style of Star Fox in a new game. Well than again, if they follow these ports up with new stuff that they might be working on but not had time to finish than I don't care. Who's with me?
@NassaDane: I'll catch any flak that comes with this, but I would love that so much.
I want to know if You guys, Nintendo Life, will do a review on the 3DS when in comes out. Just like an overall rating. It would be helpful to me to see if i should get it or not.
After looking at the Super Paper Mario screen shot, I realized I would love to play that game with a 3D display.
This game is my 3rd game on my list. Right now I have enough cash for 2 3DS games, so this one will be the first one I buy once I earn enough money.
It's a remake of Mario 64!!! I bet you.....
Shame they can't do a remake for the Wii, I won't be buying a 3DS until maybe my birthday next year. I also think that to begin with the demand for it will be massive and it will be (unlike what Nintendo has been saying) like when the Wii hit the shops it was more or less sold out for a year.... So my Birthday 2012 it is then.
sounds cool but hopefully the paper mario game is paper mario and not like super paper mario >
@ 42
It is. Apparently you haven't seen the screenshots yet. It shows Mario in the traditional RPG battle screen with a partner, etc.
Super Mario Sunshine would be so epic.
*Super Mario Sunshine 3D
