October 19, 2009 by The News Team Filed Under: Nintendo in general

Over the weekend, Charles Martinet confirmed that a new Mario game was in the works. This wasn't New Super Mario Bros. Wii, nor was it Super Mario Galaxy 2. What game could Martinet be doing Mario work for now? He didn't say...and now Nintendo won't say anything either.

"We're always working on new games and experiences, but we have nothing to announce at this time." - Nintendo rep

If you didn't believe the Twitter update before, now you know it's the real deal. Just when is Nintendo going to reveal this new title? Seems like soon, if I had to guess. Voicework is already being recorded, which I would think is some indication of how far along the project is.

Also worth noting, the message below was originally on Martinet's Twitter, but has since been removed.

Awesome new Mario Game! And it’s not NSMB Wii, and it’s not Galaxy 2, but it’s going to be crazy fun!

Voice work is one of the final aspects in a game's development. Seems odd that a game could be this far along and Nintendo not have announced it yet... especially a Mario game.

If it's this far along, Maybe a WiiWare/DSiware title?

I wouldn't get excited for the reason Nintendo gave; they're ALWAYS making a Mario game. Why get excited because you hear about it? Wait until you actually hear what it is, then get excited.

I really hope it's for the DS.

The Wii has big-name Mario titles on the way, and one was just released (Sonic & Mario at the Winter Olympics). Why would we need another?

Considering we have already two MAYOR mario titles coming out, this one cant be all that. And we already have M&S Winter Olympics so yea... it could be anything.

I hope it's not Mario Party... Unless it is WM+ compatible.

I'm guessing Mario Golf with WM+.

@Burgers

They generally wouldn't record new stuff for a DS game, because those don't use voices very much, if at all. The ones that do often reuse old sound files, especially if it's a spin-off.

Unless it's a main game, or has new characters...

The mostly likely guesses are another Mario sports game or Mario Party, neither of which I would get excited about. I think I'll just wait and see what's announced.

as big a mario fan that i am, its really time to work on new IP. i mean we have a 2nd galaxy coming soon. that's 2 3D mario's in one generation. NSMB Wii & DS, bowser's inside story, mario parties, mario 3 on 3 super smash, strikers and kart. i really think its a bit too much mario this generation. time to give a mario a vacation for a little while.

@SMBX2J

Really? Bowser's Inside Story had TONS of new voice clips. Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympics, I'm guessing did too. There are hardly any Mario games where they literally reuse all the voice clips.

my money would be on some spin-off series like another mario party or mario golf. with nsmb & galaxy 2 coming so out so soon it's hard to imagine they'd have another mario adventure game almost completed for this system. though i wouldn't complain.

I'm 75% sure this is a Wii game based on the aforementioned point about DS audio. They would more likely just re-use old assets, unless it was something like Mario & Luigi...and we just got something like Mario & Luigi.

@ChaosJohnson

God yes I would love this. I was thinking about this the other day. There were too many titles that I want on a game like this.

-Donkey Kong
-Mario Bros
-Super Mario Bros
-Super Mario Bros 2
-Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels
-Super Mario Bros 3
-Super Mario World
-Super Mario World 2

Yeah I know way too much but, man, I'd love them all to be on one cartridge. Also for a game like this they'd probably just reuse the older Mario sound bites.

Maybe strange for a Mario title, but Excitebots came out of nowhere.

And NSMBW is being released only 4 months after announcement.

If Square is involved it will be Super Mario RPG 2 since the Wii is lacking in RPG Support or They could be making another Mario collection game.

Miyamoto's next Keynote may have him revealing it if he is involved with it like he is for NSMB Wii and Galaxy 2.We know that Charles Martinet is involved and that twitter account has now been proved as a true Nintendo related twitter account so it is time to keep up with it.

so stupid
I understand keeping things close to your chest, but when its already out on the internet, whats the point of telling somebody to take it off their website?

And then do the more silly thing of making a comment about it with an attitude like your building some new weapon.

You don't suppose it's a new Wario Ware title for Wii do you? "Crazy Fun" only brings Wario Ware (or the Mario Party games of yore) to mind. Here's hoping! I can't imagine Charles Martinet doing voices for anything non-Mario/Wario related. So it's gotta be something along those lines.

But Wario and Smash Bros. titles aren't MARIO titles. I'm guessing Mario Golf/Tennis Wii. Made by CAMELOT. And succeding the awesomeness that is Mario Golf Toadstool Tour and Mario Power Tennis. :)
That's my guess. :D

god bless him, but the man is a cupcake with the nintendo logo tattooed to is ass, so the idea of an "awesome new mario game" could mean anything.

probably a new paper mario game.

how much voice work of "WEEEE" and "YEAHHHOOOOO" that isn't already on file do they really need?
