The 3DS needs a REAL Mario game as a catalyst for hardware and software sales. It takes a killer app to spark excitement and this leads to more sales of everything.

The track record of Super Mario Bros. is incredible. It sells to both genders, all ages, in all regions. This is the kind of game that every video game publisher wants to have, it has truly universal appeal. But Nintendo treats it like an afterthought.

You should be thankful- if any other developer owned Mario they would already have milked it so that nobody would want to buy it anymore. Nintendo seem to limit themselves to one 2D Mario /console (sometimes less)

Why should I be thankful that a company that has proven that they don't milk their IPs to death doesn't make more sequels to its most popular series? Especially when it means that the company in question is ruining themselves in the process?

What you, what every Nintendo fan should be able to understand, is that Super Mario Bros. is the piece that gets the entire machine running.

I see what you mean, but Nintendo have already released a lot of their big hits on 3DS: Nintendogs, Starfox, Zelda, 3D Mario and Mario Kart - that's without mentioning important 3rd party efforts such as Resident Evil, Kingdom Hearts and Metal Gear. Nintendo only really have Pokemon and 2D Mario left to go- we don't want them playing all their major cards before the generation has even really started :o
