Keighley: Mario will be on the Wii U at launch
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.
