I can see it happening, minus the Galaxy 3 part. I have a hunch that the next 3D Mario game will be quite different.

I would love a game where you play cooperative, but not really together in the same place.

Maybe different dimensions or time periods where the actions in one dimension/time have ramifications in the other.

Cannot unsee "U R MR GAY"

And I do not want more galaxy, thanks.

There's plenty other themes to explore. I for one would like to see an open world super mario.

This is one of the first things I thought of when I first played Galaxy, after admiring it's significance.  I would love to see this happen!

I feel the urge to resist screaming from just thinking about a possible new Galaxy game on WiiU, no kidding.

If it happens, it wont be like Galaxy, so the assumption it will be called Mario Galaxy 3 is wrong.

I also kinda have enough of galaxy but not becaue if the gamplay  but because of the levels. I want an actual place  a small town   a beach or whatever. The levels in galaxy I liked most where the ones that somehow rememberd me of Mario 64s garden or well lets say the levels that had the biggest platforms..   I dont like tha  tons of random small objects in space I can do stuff on etc.   Its okay if these are there but please dont base the whole game on that. I want huge places to explore.

This is what I like                                                                         Level design like this is something I dont like (Mario 64)


But again I dont mind when there is some "tons of small objects  I can walk on"  levels but please not so many anymore.

Oh yeah and I would really love to have 2 player 3d mario. This is one of the things I didnt know I wanted untill I read your article  ;)

But I really hope this will happen  I mean I am dissapointed with the ALL HAVE TO BE AT THE SAME SCREEN multiplayer of NSMBU....

Multiplayer coop should be like in mmorpgs  everyone can do whatever he wants wherever he wants. I know its somewhat different because the device has to render 2 different places which is harder to just render 1 place and then 2 angles etc.  But this would be awesome.

Super Mario 64 DS already kinda did this, it had 4-player actually I think:

I can see this. Co-op multiplayer and also a multiplayer "versus" mode (star race).

It won't have online.

I doubt there will ever be another Mario Galaxy.
