Miyamoto Keen to Continue Super Mario Galaxy Series on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

Miyamoto is keen to revisit far-away worlds with the Super Mario Galaxy series one day.

There have been two Super Mario Galaxy titles so far, both for Nintendo Wii, that introduced players to an array of intriguing and unique 3D platforming ideas.

Following on from the duo, Nintendo has opted to creating 3D Mario titles that are perhaps more traditional in nature like Super Mario 3D World for Wii U, but where does that leave the future of Super Mario Galaxy?

Speaking to Eurogamer, Miyamoto noted how with 3D titles, even as early as Super Mario 64, "there was a lot of feedback about motion sickness with the 3D or maybe us making it too difficult."

He recalled how Nintendo opted for a more traditional approach where anyone can play, explaining why the studio started up the New Super Mario Bros. franchise.

We're always thinking, is there a middle ground where people who do enjoy the 3D worlds of Galaxy and those who enjoy New Super Mario Bros. can both enjoy it? We're always looking at those opportunities.

On the other hand, me and [Yoshiaki] Koizumi-san, director of Galaxy, are always looking to challenge Galaxy and do another 3D action title. However we can't make so many games at once in parallel.

But as the hardware technology gets better and advances, I think there will be a lot of opportunity for both options.

Would a Super Mario Galaxy 3 work, or should Nintendo venture down a different path for 3D titles?

Step away from Galaxy, step away from NSMB. Try to create something new again. 64, Sunshine and Galaxy all added new and interesting core mechanics to the franchise. 3D World was a very good Mario game, but it didn't really have much uniqueness to it, it was more along the lines of standard style Mario game.

Yeah Sunshine and Galaxy both had their own unique styles going on whereas 3D World was just a bigger version of 3D Land which itself was a basic Mushroom Kingdom styled-game.

I don't want the next 3D Mario game to just continue the NSMB-route of more of the same. A gimmick like FLUDD/Gravity is very much needed. I also hope it isn't designed as a Multiplayer game either as that would limit what they can do.

I want Mario 64-2. A free-roaming 3D game like the original.

Only if it is called Super Mario Universe and for Wii U.

Wouldn't mind a Galaxy 3 tbh - prefer the enclosed, linear levels. Just needs more of them!

Mario Galaxy games are fantastic fun, but I agree with others - lets not have straight "same but with different levels"
Mario used to be drastically different between games, I want that again.

I'd still personally like Nintendo to attempt a full 4D game. Use one of the sticks to speed up, pause, or reverse the timeline of the whole landscape. I'm sure theres lots of neat puzzles and platform challenges could be done that way.

I'd definitely like something more like Mario 64 again, where you'd have the opportunity to explore much larger areas, rather than separate small-ish planets or platforms. I think a time mechanic could potentially be a good idea, as Darkflame mentioned. I definitely think it needs something there to set it apart and be a Mario game that will be remembered in years to come.

I have to admit that I was one of the nay-Sayers initially when Galaxy released. It used to make me feel a little giddy but I did eventually get used to it.

To be honest I wouldn't mind a Galaxy 3, if they could vary it from the previous games. This is a good move though, now that mario maker is on it's way out it should free up Nintendo to make some 3D games for a while.
