Just in case you were in doubt, Nintendo is indeed developing a new Mario game for the Nintendo 3DS. During its GDC press event this morning, Nintendo confirmed its Mario project for the upcoming 3D handheld, but kept the details to a minimum because, hey, who wants to know anything about a new Mario game, right?

Anyone shocked to see a new Mario game coming?
 
edit: Is it weird that the GDC keynote kinda became a press conference for Nintendo?

I just want to know what the hell it is. It's hard to be hyped for something when I know nothing about it.

I'm still dismissing anything to do with this handheld until I can get my hands on it and see if I can use the 3D. Being born a cyclops I don't know if this will work for me or not.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY?

" I just want to know what the hell it is. It's hard to be hyped for something when I know nothing about it. "

Super Mario World 3DS

Simply awesome,
I love me some classy platforming.

Whew!  Obvious that it was coming, but always fun to see them announced.

Is that a 3D Mario game where getting hit turns you small as well as one that features the Tanuki tail? Have my dreams finally come true?

it will sell in the trillions.

Oh btw, the Galaxy team is the guys who are making this.

Super Mario Bros 3... D?

If you're literally a cyclops than unfortunately no, you will not be able to see 3D with the 3DS. It still has to send a separate image to each eye, it just does it without needing the filter lenses of glasses.  But the handheld still seems cool even without the 3D, I think. "

Now I'm buying a 3DS. Fuck.

That looks like some Super Mario Galaxy-ass shit. I like!

im actually kind of surprised this doesn't appear to be a remake of another mario game.

Mario Galaxy team?
Little Mario?
MOTHERFUCKING RACCOON TAIL?
 
Oh shit.

It's Nintendo. It's Mario. 
 
 
And it's going to be Gooooood.

" it will sell in the trillions. "

" Super Mario World 3DS "

My first impression from this was super Mario Bros 3 in 3d.
Super Mario Bros 3-d?

Super Mario Galaxy 3DS Port.

this can only be good for the 3DS

So from the small hatless Mario can we say that the concept of collecting a mushroom and becoming "Super" Mario is finally back?

Holy shit you guys, you're telling me that there's never been a game just called Super Mario? 
 
Actually, I feel like I've thought about this not too long ago, now that I think about it.

Well, it just so happens that the original SMB3 on NES also has a raccon tail in its title screen.
 

FUCKING RACOON MARIO IS BACK OH GOD YES

First screenshots of 3D Mario in a raccoon suit: internet will explode.

Great, now I'm going to have to buy a 3DS.

I'm listening...

DUDE YES LETS DO THIS

I'm thinking you'll be able to roll up into a ball Samus style while you have the raccoon tail?
 
Eh, I'm probably reading to much into this.

"The Super Mario."

Nice.
It's Mario. It's in 3D.
Should be good.

If any first party 3DS game will stress the importance of enhanced depth perception, it will be a Mario game.
 
edit: NO LUIGI?!

I am on board.

It's all good that they are making another Mario game, and I do like to play their existing franchises, but can they seriously not come up with something new? I mean, besides wii sports/fit, what have they come up with since like, the nes?

I guess the Wii is dead. Fucking handhelds.

Looks like I'm buying a 3DS after all.

This is uncharacteristic of Nintendo, so I'm excited:) You mean, they're not just gonna port Super Mario Sunshine to the 3DS and call it a day!?! The worst Mario game!?! And they're doing brand new!?! Excellent! I'm happy. Especially if it's recycling Mario Galaxy's engine (which it probably will), and features the Tanooki suit.
