Just in case the very existence of the 3DS wasn't enough to convince you that there would eventually be a traditional Super Mario game for it, Nintendo has made it official. In the company's latest Iwata Asks feature, Mario maestro Shigeru Miyamoto confirmed that a new Super Mario Bros. game is indeed underway for 3DS -- that's in addition to the upcoming iterations of Mario Kart and Paper Mario for the new handhled. "In the interests of adopting new technology for the Super Mario Bros. tradition, I am now making a new Super Mario Bros. game for the Nintendo 3DS system," Miyamoto revealed.
"I want to show everyone as soon as possible what the new Super Mario Bros. will be like on the Nintendo 3DS," he added. We're going to go out on a limb and guess the new game will involve Mario and a daring royal rescue.

Why don't we just go out on a limb here and say Mario and Peach finally got married in the new 3DS version

Aww, are you still crying like a little baby? Maybe you should seek out other hobbies, as the internet is too harsh of a place for you. :)

I don't recall having 'trolled' anything non-Sony in quite some time.
Nice try, though. Feel free to give it another shot!

You can't get too complicated when you're dealing with children. It's best to stick to the tried and true methods of dealing with kids and their temper tantrums. Hell, you raised Bobby, you should know this!

I must add, though, that you're perfectly welcome to continue following me around and throwing your tantrums. Hell, just the fact that some anonymous person on the internet is enough to get you all worked up into a lather is pretty damned hilarious, and I could always use more entertainment during my normally mundane waking hours. :)

@Co now the question is, what kind of game will it be? Galaxy 2 like, or something even more new and exciting?

OMG Totally didn't see this one coming!! Hope its not just a port of galaxy.... Nintendo likes to port things... although that actually would be pretty cool, but a new game is preferred!

Listen, Nintendo.
I already went to 3dspreorders.com, and gave YOU my hard earned for my 3DS.
I already then went to Amazon and put down another £120 on a few titles for it.
I haven't sold my Wii yet, although I want to. What more do you want from me? Should I just send you my paycheck first or what?
Leave me alone.

A new Super Mario Bros. or a new New Super Mario Bros.?

Precisely what I was wondering. Hopefully it's not the latter. I'd like to see a side-scrolling Mario game with more robust graphics.

It's 3D, though. You really think they'd do a 2 (or 2.5D) game as the first Mario game for the system?
Could happen, but seems more likely they'd want to really show off the 3D effect - especially as Miyamoto's said in several interviews that the 3d screen is useful in 3d platform games because it means you can judge jumps, which is hard in a 3d world with 2d display.

New Luigi's mansion in 3D? They could use all sorts of neat tricks with the 3DS. Could be cool.

And don't forget it'll find a "unique and innovative" way to include the three dees.

It'd be cool if they make another one where you can play as peach or someone else as the fourth character option Having two toads as options in New Super Mario Bros Wii was kinda dumb and pointless in my opinion.

I think we need a game based on The Brothers Mario, personally.

After the perfection which was Super Mario Galaxy 2 i was pretty tempted to just post the "Shut up and take my money!" meme here in response to this post.
Then i realised im going to need the aforementioned money to buy Zelda instead... Mario's gunna have to wait im afraid....
