Will we have a proper 3D Mario game this gen?

They confirmed they're working on a new 3D Mario, but they haven't said anything about what platform it will be on.

That's right. I went back and read that article from last April. EAD Tokyo said that they were working on the next 3D Mario but wouldn't say if it would be for the Wii U, which led to speculation that it would be for Nintendo's next gen system.

Which in itself is a fairly big tip off that it's not for Wii U. If it was for Wii U, they would've just said so, but if its for a future platform, then they can't talk about that and wouldn't be able to mention a platform. So there ya go. 

Anyways it's for the best. The next hardware launch *must* be a good one. Iwata is lucky to have survived two bad launches back to back (3DS and Wii U). A third bad launch will pretty much be garunteed to force him to retire from his position in shame.
