Well remember how They said they wanted the new smash bros game to be a simultaneous release on 3ds and Wii U?

Maybe we just found something out about the next 2d Mario.  It may come out for both systems simulataneously since they both use the same technology (pad, stylus, and motion control).  It may be a launch title for Wii U to demonstrate the cross over functionality that 3DS games will eventually have with Wii U.

I wouldn't be suprised especially since a Mario launch title makes sense on all accounts.  That being said, they may want a Wii Sports type of approach for a launch game (generic overview of the system's functionality).

I think a Wii U Sports Resort like game should be released early Novemeber and a Mario at launch. Both would be selling strong over the holiday season and it would be seriously selling Wii U's. 

I don't think Nintendo would want to do that but it does sound cool!

3D Mario Land was showcased with every 3DS unveiling before they released the 3DS.  It was the title that everyone knew was coming.  2D Mario is a game that has nothing to do with the main concept of of the 3DS, which is the 3D part, and yet they want to push it to come out for next holiday season already.

It will dominate the Holiday season when it comes out, but I think when a new formula doesn't come through on expectations it is a common reaction to fall back on the tried and true formula.  "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."  They tried to fix it

Again I really don't care what they do I just hope that it's not a panicky response for the sole reason that I want them to not take any content away from the already planned Wii U 2D Mario title.

I seriously don't think that the 2D Mario is the panicky "we need to get it out there" type of game. It's just, like I said before, another Mario game. It doesn't necessarily show Nintendo doesn't like the way the 3DS is selling or that they are panicking about it. 

... I just noticed that if the Wii U comes out with NSMBM and then the 3DS's 2D Mario... That can't be right. One of them won't release this year, or Nintendo might just go crazy and release both of them..... Ah! I don't know. XD


I'm pretty sure Ninty said that was a tech demo and not an actual game, unless they said something different from E3. Am I missing something

You aren't missing anything it's just that a lot of people on this site have been specualting that NSMBM could be a launch game for the Wii U. Which does make sense but having two in the same year? I'm not sure...

Not to take anything away from VGC users, but until i hear something from Ninty, or people who are actually in the know, im gonna call BS

Thank you Nintendo! Finally they wake up.. I guess they realized having a game that can potentially sell 20 million on their new platform isn't a bad thing.

This may what makes me cave in and finally pick up a 3DS.

It is a great decision. It will for sure make a lot of sales if it comes out during the Holiday Season.
