Nintendo, the masters of innovation and freshness.


Depends on their intention.  If they wanted to be innovative, they could do what they did in the past.  They could add a water firing backpack, a dinosaur like Yoshi, a magic cape, a world map, crazy gravity physics like Mario Galaxy, etc.  They could create something unique like Pikmin or Chibi Robo.  They could make this a first person Mario where you use motion controls to aim Mario's fireballs and make him jump by shaking the 3DS--but that's not what this franchise is going for.  People want an old fashioned 2D Mario adventure.  That's why the NSMB series has sold like crazy in the past.
