3D Mario for DS in the Works?

When asked in an interview with GameDaily whether Nintendo is “looking to do another 3-D Mario on DS,” co-series director Takashi Tezuka replied: “Well I’d love to! [laughs] I can’t say anything more than that.” He can’t say anything more ’cause he wants to, has already asked Nintendo to, and got shot down by management […]

When asked in an interview with GameDaily whether Nintendo is “looking to do another 3-D Mario on DS,” co-series director Takashi Tezuka replied: “Well I’d love to! [laughs] I can’t say anything more than that.”

He can’t say anything more ’cause he wants to, has already asked Nintendo to, and got shot down by management for now? Or the project has already started, and he’s not involved yet?

Someone throw us a bone here.

  1. I love my DS, but 3D just doesn't work well with those controls. It's awkward to hold a stylus and use the traditional buttons at the same time.Bring us more 2D-Mario goodness like "New Super Mario Bros.", and leave the 3-D adventures for the Wii.AFX

  2. LOL Thanks Infendo for the faceplates for the Micro.Suck that I dont have one.But Im gonna use them for something else ;).

  3. With those faceplates you sent me, I've already drilled holes in theme, and Im gonna sew them to a hat I have, but it needs a name. Something like "Nintendo Wear" or "Ninten-Gear".

  4. 3-d would work fine if the L and R buttons controlled cameral angle and D pad controlled movement direction

  5. "It's awkward to hold a stylus and use the traditional buttons at the same time."I believe you are forgetting about the thumb strap, my friend. 😉
