GamesRadar has published a massive interview with Super Mario 3D Land director Koichi Hayashida.

Hayashida did share a few nuggets about the 3D platformer, such as how Statue Mario barely made it into the game and how the team considered implementing a time limit on Fire Mario as was the case for the Galaxy games.

Speaking of Super Mario Galaxy, Hayashida basically said that it’s unlikely we’ll see a third game in the “series”. He doesn’t see a realistic scenario in which the staff would use leftover ideas from Galaxy 2 for a possible Galaxy 3 title.

Hayashida also confirmed that downloadable content is a possibility for Mario, discussed his thoughts about Wii U, and more.

Head past the break for all of Hayashida’s remarks!

U.S. retailer “eStarland” added, and then quickly removed, numerous listings for Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing 2. Entries were spotted on the site for the Wii, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.

Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing 2 rumors emerged in January. Speculation pointed to a release on the Wii U, 3DS, and PS Vita, but none of these platforms were found on eStarland. However, because retailer listings are often tentative, we shouldn’t take this as a confirmation that these systems won’t be getting the new racer.

Another month, another milestone for Mario: Super Mario Galaxy became the ninth Wii game to sell more than 5 million units in the United States, according to the NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States. The Wii system, which crossed 39 million units sold in February, now has nearly twice as many 5-million sellers* as competing current-generation consoles combined.

“Wii continues its record-breaking run by surpassing 39 million units in its 64th month, a pace that is unmatched by any other system in U.S. history,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Titles like Super Mario Galaxy help explain why Wii continues to resonate with consumers. The fact that one of the best-reviewed games of all time is available for a suggested retail price of $19.99 speaks to Nintendo’s combination of quality, family fun and value that is unmatched in our industry.”

Other Nintendo milestones achieved in February include:
