Keighley: Mario will be on the Wii U at launch

Posted on June 2, 2012 by (@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U

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.
