Shigeru Miyamoto talks about the future of Super Mario in 3D

As well as many other franchises, Super Mario started at the time of the gaming in 2d, however, the 3D transition opened many new opportunities to this plumber holder, and what have been very successful opportunities. In recent years we had things like Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario Odesa, however, the character from time to time has appeared in titles 2D as it was Super Mario Run and New Super Mario Bros.

But what is left for the future of Super Mario ? During the latest session of questions and answers corresponding to the fiscal results of Nintendo, the Shiner Miyamoto was questioned about the differences between the games 2D and 3D of Mario, for what The veteran of the industry took advantage of this moment to explain the focus of the company lately, and where they plan to take the franchise in the future.

Regarding the differences between Mario 2D and Mario 3D, I explain what was the background for the development of New Super Mario Bros. For Wii, which we launched in 2009. At the time, we feel that every time we created a new delivery In the Mario series — which for that time he had already hit the 3D jump — he became more complicated. After the launch of Super Mario Galaxy in 2007, our goal was to create a much more accessible 3D Super Mario game, and the result was New Super Mario Bros., a more basic Side Scrolled than even new players could enjoy. Eventually that led us to the even simplest Super Mario Run, a mobile application launched in 2016. When we develop software, we always seek to incorporate new items, but at the same time we want to make the experience easy and fun for the first-time users. Recently, people of all generations have been enjoying what was Super Mario Odyssey, launched in 2017, so as for the Future of Mario in 3D, we want to expand it even more in new ways.

At this point it is easy to assume that Nintendo is already working in a sequel to Super Mario Odyssey, but until now we have not received any kind of information about it. Whatever your next project, we hope that GREAT N I manage to find this balance between news and accessibility you are looking for.

Editor s note: The truth is that the vast majority of 3D titles of Super Mario have thrown very good results, both financially and critically. There is no doubt that the Great N knows exactly where the series should go, and we will see what surprise us in the coming years.
