Rumour: Nintendo Planning Mario 3D for October? on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

Website CVG is reporting that Nintendo is planning a major second half software blitz in order to pickup Wii U sales. Leading the charge, reportedly, will be the next 3D Mario title, by the same developers who made the incredible Mario Galaxy and Mario Galaxy 2.

Further, CVG reports that both Mario 3D and Mario Kart will be playable at E3... quote:

"A number of blockbuster Wii U games will be released from summer until the end of the year, one of which is a new 3D Mario title. Although CVG is not yet able to confirm what the others will be, a new Mario Kart will debut in playable form at E3.

The marketing campaign will commence at the Los Angeles event (although some claim sooner), where the 3D Mario game will also be playable on the show floor. The title will be released before October, pending development delays."

Also still planned is the Summer update, which will further refine the Wii U operating system's speed and stability. Sounds like interesting things in the works for the Nintendo Wii U!

I'm worried this will either be delayed or a very short game just look at Pikmin 3 - delays delays delays. Nintendo won't pull this off. They can't even do HD properly. Nintendo Land is cheap.

Actually the game is likely to have been in development for 2.5+ years.

Also, Nintendo Land is pretty great.

My worry is not delays, they can delay it all they want (I want it t be the best it can be). I worry it's rushed. I want this to be on par with Galaxy, not just another standard Mario.

I know, right? The hell?

Ya - a lot of it we've heard before, but it's the first time I've heard of new 3D Mario pre or around October.

Someone put a "u" in my American rumor =p

And yeah, this is the first we've heard of any sort of release date for Mario 3D. Previously, all we knew was that Mario would be playable at E3.
