so no mario at nx launch confirmed eh?
3D Mario isn't a Launch title then?
Maybe Zelda is?
These "new" and "young" people are the best thing to happen to nintendo
As the first fully open-world Nintendos worked on, whats the hardest thing about designing for an open world?
This is definitely the first time weve created a game this large. We didnt know where to start. So it happened to be there was a team that was working on creating a larger world. And this team was a group of younger developers. So we had our old programmers from the Zelda team take a step aside, so we could introduce this new group of programmers.
But then these new, younger developers had no clue about how past Zeldas had been created. The group of new staff actually would ask us, like Well I know that its been done, traditionally, in other Zelda titles, but why does it have to be that way? And among those questions there were some I just couldnt answer, that I didnt know the answer to myself. That was because I just took those things on as a tradition, and I didnt really know why the tradition existed.
When you think about it, maybe those things really didnt need to be there in the modern world, those traditions. So I started destroying these traditions Id inherited in the series one by one. But its a process that takes a lot of time. And because we were destroying everything wed done in the past, and rebuild new ideas from the ground up, that was the hardest thing, and its really taken a long time to create the thing I most wanted to create.
Aonuma recruited a different set of programmers than Ive worked with in the past. This is a group of people who have studied triple-A games, and researched and dissected what kind of elements we can add to Nintendo games to create experiences like that.
In other words, Nintendo is studying where others succeed, deconstructing those games down, and reassembling those elements in a game immediately recognizable as a Nintendo title. Their work will shape games beyond Zelda. Because of all the efforts that theyve put in, we were able to create a new base, Aonuma says, so I think youll start to see different types of games in the future.
Aonuma doesn't stand a chance. #TeamMiyamoto
Makes sense since they'll probably have Zelda at launch and might not want them to interfere with each other
Female Mario
I would be shocked if Zelda wasn't a launch title. Mario will probably be saved as the first holiday title.
Any other franchises you want to shake up there, Miyamoto?
YES, if the new mario is to mario what breath of the wild is to zelda, i will explode
Too much colour, this costume should be greyscale.
Time for a gritty reboot.

Mario will be their Christmas 2017 game, I bet.
Though I am curious what they have for launch, since I am betting it is not only Zelda.

Actually this is big news reading some of the comments, it confirms no Mario for NX launch.
Metroid? Surely they haven't buried it, right? Right?
I never got this line of thinking. We literally got Mario Galaxy, SSBB and Metroid Prime 3 in a 3-ish month window on the Wii

I'm glad Miyamoto is getting edged out by the younger folks that have a newer vision. He's done his part but is gladly stepping aside to simply help the new people rather than force.
At least I hope so.
One of those things is not like the others

Open world 3D platformer LET'S GO!!!
What if Mario and Pikmin 4 are the same game?
In a year, or two? Shouldn't they know by now that they should launch with a proper full-fledged Mario game?
