Details on Super Mario 3DS

More Nintendo news hitting the wire today, as the Big N announced some details on the upcoming Mario game for the Nintendo 3DS.

According to U.K. based Edge magazine, Shigeru Miyamoto said the new Mario game is “a combination of Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario on N64. It won’t convey the message if I talk to you today, but if you play it at E3 that will give you more understanding of what I’m talking about.”

So, it should be available for E3 in June. He also said the game will be available before year’s end, so expect it around the holiday season.

Miyamoto used this reference to better ease everyone’s minds. “For example, the floors floating in space: in 2D it’s difficult to judge the distance, but in 3D it’s really easy,” he said.

Nintendo’s E3 is shaping up to be even better than last year’s conference. A new Mario game coupled with a brand new console is more than anyone could ask for. They are really pushing Microsoft and Sony to up their game for the show.
