Nintendo to Unveil New Mario Game for Wii U at E3 2012

Posted By about 1 year, 1 month ago

This is Mario. Maybe you have heard of him?

In an interview published today with a Spanish news site by the name of El Mundo, famed game creator Shigeru Miyamoto stated that the first Mario game for the Wii U would be revealed at this year’s E3. The comment was then confirmed by a Nintendo representative via Eurogamer. The website also provided a full English translation of the relevant passage from the Miyamoto interview:

Miyamoto, who smiled during all the interview – even when he wants to change the topic because ‘it’s not the moment’ to talk about Wii U – thinks that the experience and the new game modes of this new console won’t be ‘easily replicated in other devices’, which will allow them to escape the new tablet competition.

The creator advances that at the next E3, the biggest video games show, which is celebrated in Los Angeles in June, Nintendo will present a new Super Mario for this platform, in which you will combine the TV screen with the screen in the controller.

During the interview, Miyamoto also had the following to say regarding what other projects were currently taking up his time:

Shigeru Miyamoto
I’m working on several projects but I think that I cannot talk about them all [laughs]. Some are small but important projects for Wii U. Also on a new Pikmin, which will take advantage of the new HD screen resolution, and on Luigi’s Mansion for 3DS.

Of course, the fact that the Wii U has a new Mario game in development should be about surprising as the fact that water is wet. Look at the effect the world’s most badass plumber has had on 3DS sales alone after all. Still, just because the game’s existence is obvious does not make the idea of the upcoming reveal any less exciting. After all, Mario has often been the series where Nintendo really cuts loose and shows off the best of their game design, and then there is the element of the Wii U’s new controller to consider as well. Just one more reason to get excited for this year’s E3.

    I’m not a Mario fan as much as I am a Zelda fan, but I might get this at launch, since I got Super Mario Galaxy with the Wii.

    I’ll throw my guess at New Super Mario Bros. Wii U. Hopefully though they will use said game to show off the pontential of the Wii U’s Graphics engine.

    Pikmin Wii U sounds interesting though. Lets hope it happens.

    Still wondering how much that controller will cost because I can tell you kids will likely break that thing.
