Whenever a new Mario game is confirmed for a Nintendo console, it’s usually a cause for celebration, as such innovative efforts as Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario 3D World have really shown the plumber’s best adventures are yet to come. Now, there’s a new one on the way.
In an interview with Edge Online, producer Yoshiaki Koizumi confirmed that a new game featuring the heroic plumber is being worked on, but stopped just short on confirming whether it would be for the struggling Wii U console or the thriving 3DS handheld. He stated that “we’ve already started approaching our next challenge” and “there’s still a lot more room for discovery and invention, and we’ll continue to propose new and exciting game mechanics going into the future.”
EAD Tokyo team leader Kenta Motokura added that the development team “might need to make even more use of the GamePad” should the project be made for the Wii U.
In a surprising note, Nintendo icon Shigeru Miyamoto isn’t working on the new game, as he’s currently working on a new, unannounced title for the company.
