Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser again spoke about Joy-Con drift as part of an interview published by The Verge this week. Speaking with the site, he said:

During Nintendo’s last financial results briefing, Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto made some comments about the series.

As big fan of those games, I decided to share some of my thoughts about future possibilities for 3D Mario. There are some crazy ideas here because I started to have a lot of fun producing this video, but I’m also curious to see you guys think about the topic as well. Feel free to share your dreams and expectations for the future of Mario after watching the video below.
