Miyamoto talks Super Mario 3DS, shares more details
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
This information comes from Shigeru Miyamoto…
“It’s a combination of Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario on N64. It won’t convey the message if I talk to you today, but if you play it at E3 that will give you more understanding of what I’m talking about. For example, the floors floating in space: in 2D it’s difficult to judge the distance, but in 3D it’s really easy. The tail you mentioned on the logo – it’s what you think it is. You probably know what’s going to happen using that character.”
In addition to the information above, Miyamoto said that the game is a cross between Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario 64, is “completely original” and reiterated that Nintendo is looking to release the game this year.
