Nintendo President and CEO Saruto Iwata today unveiled Super Mario 3DS for the first time.

"Since 1996, when Mario appeared in 3D in Super Mario 64, it's always been hard for players to judge how to jump and hit a block floating in a 3D space," Iwata said. "Miyamoto said to me, 'Finally the day has come when we can solve this.'"

Super Mario 3DS is under development by the Super Mario Galaxy team. A tail can been seen on the game's temporary logo, perhaps taking a cue from Super Mario Bros. 3, which may see Mario return with the famed Tanooki suit.

Nintendo is planning to reveal more about Super Mario 3DS at E3 2011 this coming June.

Will most likely buy a 3DS later this year once this game comes out. :thumbup:

I am Tanooki and I approve this message.

I hope with all my heart that this game will be as non-linear as Sunshine. Don't mind me, I LOVE Galaxy, I don't mind linear games, but I feel that the approach that SM64 & Sunshine brought to platform games could be pushed farther.

I think the greatest platforming game ever was Banjo-Tooie, because it felt like a world. Every level was gigantic and filled with fun mini-games and NPCs. It was fun to explore. Galaxy had some of the best platforming level design ever made, but the worlds felt empty.

Just hurry up with ocarina of time already, we've already got super mario on the ds -.-

Meh, NGP is coming out at the end of the year and it can play all the games on playstation network, popular ps3 games can be ported to work on it, and you can buy 3g on it. Nintendo has really disappointed me over the last 3 years, they haven't shown the creativity they have in the past and its worn me out.

Yeah, the only thing bumming me out about the 3DS (besides battery, but you can buy good 3rd parties for about 20$) is the lack of 3G/4G. I would have thought a device all about social interaction (Miis, StreetPass and such) would be able to connect anywhere.

But it's still Nintendo, and you can expect fantastic games in the next few years. No wonder the DS trampled the PSP: most agree the games were far better.

The games were equally great, I believe its the fact that the PSP cost $100 more than the DS for the first 2 years of its life.
