Tezuka on New Super Mario Bros. similarities, Donkey Kong impact, touch-only Mario
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Takashi Tezuka has been offering some valuable insightful into the Mario series through numerous interviews. He’s probably the best man to talk about the franchise (aside from Miyamoto!) since he’s been working on it since the first Super Mario Bros.
Tekuza’s latest remarks include the reasoning behind the similarities between all of the New Super Mario Bros. games, how Donkey Kong Country Returns’ visuals motivated the NSMB Wii team, the possibility of a touch screen only Mario, and more.
For Tezuka’s exact quotes, head past the break.
