Miyamoto: Next Mario Will Most Likely Be On Nintendo’s Next Console
Those hoping for another mainline Mario title for Wii U may come away slightly disappointed as Shigeru Miyamoto says that it will most likely be on Nintendo’s next home console. We’ve already had the wonderful Super Mario 3D World so I’m sure we can be patient and wait, though it’s going to be difficult.
Since we first created Mario, people have compared him to Mickey Mouse. I’ve always said Mickey Mouse evolved with each evolution in animation. You saw Mickey Mouse each step of the way. From early on, I wanted Mario to be that character in the digital world, so that with each digital evolution, he was there to usher in the next era. I think that maybe when we release the next hardware system, you can look forward to seeing Mario take on a new role or in a new game.
I mean, the consoles only generate one 3D entry anyway, so this was obvious (besides the Wii + the Galaxy series).
Glad to know Nintendo will be continuing to support their hardware, instead of tossing it aside like Sony did the Vita (which will be the lowest selling hardware of the gen!)
