A Mario game will launch alongside Wii U, according to Geoff Keighley.

The GameTrailers TV host was asked about a new Mario for the console during a recent Spike All Access Weekly show.

Keighley responded with the following:

“Yeah, that’s another one that’s rumored. I’m pretty sure you’re going to see it. Nintendo did a Zelda game last year for the Wii, so I don’t think you’ll see another Zelda this year. I’m sure there’s going to be some twists to it, but yes, Mario will be on the Wii U at launch.”

The question is, was Keighley basing his comment off of any insider knowledge? Is it just a prediction? We know Mario Wii U will be at E3, and that automatically makes it a strong candidate as a launch title.

Look forward to more information about Nintendo’s Wii U Mario plans during its E3 2012 media briefing on Tuesday.

Ever since we found out about Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, there have strong hints about a Wii U version.

For instance, producer producer Joe Neate teased the possibility at the end of April by saying that fans should be on the lookout “for potential other platforms”.

Now we may have received the ultimate confirmation of a Wii U version, provided the image above is real. It apparently came from an alternate version of today’s Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed trailer. While the photo itself is likely legitimate, we currently can’t verify that the video was officially made by SEGA.

The image above comes from the debut trailer of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. As you can see, there’s no Wii U logo up there.

We still don’t know for sure if Lords of Shadow 2 is in the works for Nintendo’s new console, but it’s in doubt now. Either Konami was asked to keep a Wii U version a secret until the Big N’s conference, or it’s simply not planned for the system. I’m sure all will be made clear in a few days.
