But those are increadibly graphics intensive, no doubt they would not run as well but Mario isn't going to run on the Fox Engine, lol. The fact that those games can run at all is proof that Mario could work. And Mario heavily focusing on the consoles gimmick?... Not Mario Galaxy, or Mario 3D World. You only used motion controls to point the star curser to the star pieces in Galaxy, and only used the gamepad to find hidden blocks... So the past 3 Mario games (Galaxy 1 and 2 and 3D World) have not really been completely dependent on the gimmick of the console, and before that there really weren't any gimmicks on the controller design.


Not entirely true as Galaxy had certain designs in various levels that utilize the console's features, like using motion controls for balancing on a ball in one level to navigate a course or using the pointer to control air flow in another to move Mario trapped in a bubble through hazards or even in in space using the point to have the gravity grab Mario. The features were used quite notably.

But gyroscope is not motion controls. All the controlers have gyroscope so this would be left in tact. Air flow could be used with the  touch screen, more than likely with little effort on the devs part.
