^ Yea i found the article where Miyamoto said they were "too conservative" in the first Galaxy. What is he talking about, too conservative. That game was friggin crazy, like a Dali esque mind f--k mixed with Escher visual perspective trickery. It was not conservative.

He did also say they had plenty of ideas left over and i think with the engine already built a sequel could well be completed in 3 yrs. Infact we dont know when SMG was finished anyway. It could have been 90% complete since 2006.

im pretty sure its mario party, miyamoto said that EAD Tokyo's next game probably wouldnt be out until 2010. then again they would have had 2 years, more than most EAD studio's

I really hope the new Mario is either New Super Mario Bros 2 or Super Mario Galaxy 2. Both games were amazing and I'd love a sequel.

I'd love a Galaxy 2, or maybe a New super mario brothers 2, who wouldn't? the first ones were both fantastic masterpieces.

though there is a chance it could mario party 9. But... would that be so bad? ;) especially if it had Wii Motion plus support, that would be cool :)

I hope it's not Galaxy, as much as I'd buy it in a heart beat. Nintendo may be best to try and make a 2D Mario using the Wii Remote. Galaxy did got, but not like NSMB. Galaxy may not be accessible, and a NSBM type game would REALLY drive sales.

They didn't say its a Wii Mario. I would place my bets on a new DS mario.

[EDIT] Scratch that, the second half of the translation they posted is implying a Wii Mario.  Seems too soon to me though.

Only a New Super Mario Brothers Wii could push HW units in Japan. That's a fact. And responding to the news article. Why would anybody want a more accurate balance board? It's already seems ultra-sensative. I think the plus part of Wii Fit plus has to do with it's compatability with motion plus.

@Nate, maybe but its certainly online so you can see how fat you are compared with the rest of the world.

About Mario 2d, So this rumour at ign about a new DK is like this Mario one. I would say neither of these are 2d bcoz only 6 months ago the Wii had a 2d Wario which didn't sell so well. Not only is it way too close to Wario but considering there has been a whole yr since the last major brand release i dont think theyre going to 2D after so long. This is what i think.

we are due for a true Wii Mario Party arent we.

@ megaman 79

warioland:shake it has hit 620k, will probably hit 1million eventually. surely profitable.

anyways i do think this is mario party 9 with motion plus functionality.

EAD4 are doing pikmin 3 so no new NSMB on DS plus the article specifically says its for wii. i think EAD tokyo would need 3 years to work on their next game instead of 2 but if theve alread got the engine then who knows. personally i dont hope for a new mainline mario, its too soon
