“It’s actually progressing quite well. We could have shown it here at E3 if we wanted to, but the environment here isn’t really suited to that game. E3 is pretty exciting, and that’s a device that’s all about relaxation. So it’s just wasn’t the best time or place to show that game. But it is ready, so we’ll probably find another place that’s more suitable to announce it. But I’m not directly involved in that project.”

Yes, there will be a Mario 3DS game

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 7 Comments

Nintendo revealed earlier this week that a ton of games based on classic franchises are in the works for the 3DS. One title that was conspicuously missing, however, was the announcement of an original Mario platforming adventure. Fortunately, Shigeru Miyamoto assured fans in a recent interview that there are plans to bring a main Mario title to the 3DS other than Paper Mario.

“We could’ve very easily done just a quick Mario-based tech demo that would show something like that, but one of the things that I’m always concerned about is showing a Mario gameto people before it’s ready to be shown. So that’s why we held back this time. But now that Super Mario Galaxy 2 is done, we’ll be able to go hard at work on a new Mario game for Nintendo 3DS. So you can expect to see a Mario game at some point, but you’ll just have to wait a little bit longer.”

The only question is, what type of game will it be? Another New Super Mario Bros.? Or something similar to Super Mario 64 DS?

Nomura on Kingdom Hearts 3

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 2 Comments

“If there will be a Kingdom Hearts 3 in the future, it will probably be on a console platform, but the thing is that there is the idea and desire to create Kingdom Hearts 3, but the opportunity has not come yet. I’m under pressure from fans, from Disney, and from the internal Square Enix team as well, because they’re all awaiting Kingdom Hearts 3. So I’m aware of it, and I don’t hide my desire for one day creating a Kingdom Hearts 3 in the future.” – Tetsuya Nomura

I don’t even know how Square Enix has time to work on all of these Kingdom Hearts titles! 358/2 Days was released in North America a few months ago as did Birth by Sleep in Japan (and it’s coming here in a few months with added content), and now Nomura is busy with Re:coded and 3D. Perhaps after those two titles are complete, Nomura can concentrate on Kingdom Hearts 3.
