Super Mario 3DS was announced at last month’s Game Developer Conference, and aside from a logo for the title and a few screenshots, Nintendo hasn’t released much news on the game. It’s not even known when the game is expected to finally hit the latest handheld, but Mario-creator Shigeru Miyamoto finally dropped a bit of news for avid Mario fans everywhere.
This news comes from an interview with the French gaming site Gamesblog.fr, and during their interview, our French amis asked Miyamoto-san when he thought we would see Super Mario 3DS. Miyamoto didn’t have an exact answer for them, but he did make a very interesting promise.
If Super Mario 3DS can manage to make its way to retailers prior to the end of this year then that sets Nintendo up for some very nice holiday sales numbers. With games like Paper Mario, Star Fox 3D, Mario Kart, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D and even more all due out before the year’s end, the Nintendo 3DS should have a pretty killer lineup by the end of this year. Of course, a game like Super Mario 3DS could take a while for Nintendo to complete, especially by year’s end, so it seems that the game making it in time for 2011 is more of a hope then something set in stone. That’s not to say that the game’s 2011 release is completely out of the question, but we’ll learn more at E3 2011.
