Nintendo President Satoru Iwata announced at GDC 2011 that a new Super Mario game is in the works for the 3DS. According to an official press release “the game is being developed by the same Nintendo team that created the Wii console hits Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2.” It also claimed “the announced 3D Super Mario game will feature traditional Mario game play and will fulfill the dream of Nintendo video game designer (and Mario creator) Shigeru Miyamoto to bring true depth and distance into the game’s mechanics.”
