3DS Mario Game in Development

It shouldn't come as any sort of shock to hear that Shigeru Miyamoto is working on a Mario game for a new Nintendo platform. That's exactly what the series' creator stated in a recent edition ofIwata Asks.

Speaking about the culture of Kyoto and the history of the Mario franchise, Miyamoto said quite plainly,"So, in the interests of adopting new technology for the Super Mario Bros. tradition, I am now making a new Super Mario Bros. game for the Nintendo 3DS system."He added,"I want to show everyone as soon as possible what the new Super Mario Bros. will be like on the Nintendo 3DS."

The last original Super Mario game for a handheld wasNew Super Mario Bros., the 2D Mario game that led to the development ofNew Super Mario Bros. Wii (pictured above). A 3D Mario game did appear on the DS with the port ofSuper Mario 64, but there's never been an original Mario game in 3D on a Nintendo handheld. Miyamoto said late last year that we could expect both2D and 3DMario games on the 3DS.
