Super Mario 3D leaps to 3DS before the end of the year
14
During Nintendo's E3 2011 press conference, president Reggie Fils-Aime took to the stage and confirmed that Super Mario 3D, the 3DS title briefly teased back at GDC, would launch before year's end. Also, the Tanooki Suit is back -- gameplay footage showed a blend of 2D and 3D gameplay, highly reminiscent of Super Mario Galaxy. It makes sense, since the same team is handling the 3DS game.

@PR0F3TA yeah, right just like Halo 4, even though I figured it would come out on the next console

HELL YEAH. Nintendo is on a ROLL. Or maybe P. Oh wait, no, it's just Mario who is on P. And mushrooms. So much for family-friendly fun, Nintendo.

Mmm not too impressed with this, though i'm guessing it looks better on the actual console. I would have probably preferred just a 2d scroller with 3d graphics and depth.

The 3ds became so much more interesting today. Especially with this and Smash Bros.

Tanooki makes any Mario better.

Seeing how the Wii U will have the controller/touchpad,
does that mean that DS/DSi/3DS games might
be coming to Wii U? I'd like to play these games,
just not on such a tiny system.
