A certain Nintendo site is listing a translation of the Nikkei report...
The new "Wii Fit Plus" game will now allow you to compare your body weight or health with friends and distant family members, thanks to an added online functionality. Additionally, a improved measurement capabilities will allow for a better health control. Special exercises destined to aged people, and aiming to lower their body charge will also be added.
The second half of the year will also see the release of a new entry in the popular "Mario" game series. Their aim is to support the decelerating sales of the Wii video game console.
If this is accurate, then the new Mario game is a Wii title and falls in line with what was said about Gamestop "making room" for a big Nintendo title later this year....

SUPER MARIO 3D ALL-STARS TRIOLOGY
64 Graphical Update + Sunshine + Galaxy + Galaxy 2 Lost Levels = Game of the Infinite Forevers

It might be a weird suggestion but I'd really like Mario Party 2 on Virtual ConsoleAniHawk said:

If a new Wii Mario is going to be shown, I wonder what kind of WiiMotion+ usage, if any, will be implemented.

Mario Party was legendary back in the day. Lost many friends after stealing their stars. Good times. I would have no problem with a new Mario Party so long as Hudson, you know, actually tries.

Super Paper Mario is merely an underappreciated game. It has a huge focus on writing, humor, and exploring rather than platforming and RPG elements, even though those last two things are typically what people associate the game with.
Once I realized that the game was more an experience of Intelligent Systems' awesome writing than just a Paper Mario platformer/RPG hybrid, I was able to enjoy it a hell of a lot more. The game seriously has tons of wit and humor strewn about, but it takes an open-mind to appreciate that.
As for Mario Party, I don't want another one. At least, not yet. The first two Mario Party games were brilliant, so I'd mostly just want those two to release on the VC. And, if not that, maybe a remake with both games crammed into one? That would be godly.

Hey, I have no problem with them keeping on trucking on with what's an easy cash cow.
But I need my console Mario, in some shape or form, that promotes action, platforming and/or whatever "twist" can be involved this time. Mario Party is meant to be auxilary, not a possibly "hype point" that Nikkei is hinting at.

There is so much money to be made in New Super mario Bros 2 but i know this game cannot be it. Its obviously a Wii game.
Gamer @ Heart said:
Honestly though, remember that the Wii is the console that needs a new stand-out title like a crackhead needs another hit.
I can imagine New SMB2 happening some day. Just...not when the DS/DSi is still "PRINTING MONEY!" as well as it's doing. Hell, even the original New SMB is still selling to this day! :lol

NSMB has the superior VS Mode
but certain power-ups and level concepts would be nice
I really liked the humor in SPM as well. I liked most of the levels, and the writing was great. Heck, I liked it better than PM 2 (probably a bad decision for me to say that). I liked the levels/writing in the original PM better, and SPM was fresh as far as gameplay mechanics go. I probably just like it more because I don't have much to compare it to.
On topic: I'm hoping that it's a 2D Mario, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Nearly all Mario games are good, so I'll probably be happy with whatever it is.

If the game ends up being Super Mario Galaxy 2 and not a 2D Super Mario (retail for Wii), the folks in charge at NOJ are seriously stupid.
And this is coming from someone who loves/loved Super Mario Galaxy and is/was bored by New SMB.
It seems clear that the 2D Marios have broader appeal - esp. in Japan - so if they want to boost sales of the Wii in their home country, they should go down that road and not down the 3D road (again)...

I suspect the next Mario game will be Galaxy 2, just as a stand-by until the next Mario innovation.
Mutagenic said:
I wouldn't go that far, but it is a game that had a lot of wasted potential and some significant flaws. The game peaked way too early (world 3 was insanely awesome), and there were worlds where I was shocked and appalled at the design (world 6, are you kidding me?)

This man is one after my own heart. It's perfectly suited for the Wii.
It needs to happen. Best graphics on the GameCube in that game. Yes sir.
Okay, maybe not, but they were still damn impressive.

probably going to be NSMB2.
On the other hand, if its Galaxy 2 I'll scream like a school girl.

This isn't really a major point or anything, but I don't see the following line anywhere in the story:
"Special exercises destined to aged people, and aiming to lower their body charge will also be added."
(I'm looking at a physical copy of the print version).

I'm hoping that the Mario game is Paper Mario 3. It will have been five years since The Thousand Year Door came out by the end of this year, so a sequel is overdue by this point.
Galaxy 2 would be awesome, as well.

If it is Galaxy 2, I will do something fantastical.
Honestly, I don't have a positive reaction planned out. My negative reaction to Juno winning best picture would be to take a shit on my TV; expect that, except the positive version. Just gotta figure out that that would be.
