During E3 week, GameSpot Australia sat down with Nintendo’s Yoshiaki Koizumi to discuss Super Mario 3D. Koizumi commented on a number of topics, including hint systems, fan input, mobile games, and even the Wii U briefly. Read on below for all of the details.

Yoshiaki Koizumi on Super Mario 3D playing a lot with perspective/3D…

“The effect of things coming from the background to the foreground was definitely something we wanted to use specifically because we could present it in 3D. When you’re presenting someone with a fictional world, and you’re trying to help him grasp how to move objects around inside of it, it was always very difficult, particularly on 2D displays, to show something coming from the background toward you. But now, we’ve gotten away from that taboo in development, and we now feel like we can use that effect more easily.

“As for other effects, we’re thinking of how objects will move in a 3D game and how they will move within a 3D display. We’re thinking about several of them, but I’m afraid I can’t reveal anything at this time.”

This information comes from Animal Crossing creator Katsuya Eguchi…

“To those Animal Crossing fans, I just would like them to know that there’s progress and we should be able to offer a new download movie soon. As for features and specs of the game, I can’t go into too much detail, but players will be able to arrange their furniture the way they like, and we’ll be offering new networking experiences.”

I truly hope Nintendo mixes things up with this Animal Crossing outing. I personally felt that the DS title was the best in the series since I enjoy that type of experience more on handhelds, but I was honestly getting tired of the franchise at that point. I haven’t even played City Folk since it just looks too darn similar. Here’s hoping that the networking options are much more robust on the 3DS.
