Vi skal ikke forvente mere Mario af den slags, som vi oplevede med Super Mario 3D World, i 2015. Det fortæller Bill Trinen, director of product marketing hos Nintendo of America, i et interview med Reno Gazette-Journal.
"Internally, what teams do when working on a new game - even if it's an existing series - is to start out fresh and figure out what the focus will be this time. We don't always put out a new version of an existing series on an annual basis, there's always a big gap. You see that with Super Smash Bros., which has been seven years since it last came out. With Pikmin 3, you saw a big gap as well."
Med andre ord er det tid til en naturlig pause for Mario, når det kommer til en ren Mario-titel. Vi kan dog forvente et spin-off i still med Mario Party 10 og Mario Maker.
"Mario games release more frequently but we don't have a new Mario game this year so it's not an annual event. The teams focus on how they can recreate the gameplay experience or introduce new ideas to those games, which is what they did with NES Remix, for example."
Det ser kort sagt ud til, at vi skal kigge i retning af det nyudgivede Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker for en smule "Mario"-agtig platformunderholdning, hvilket, som vi skrev i vores anmeldelse, er et ganske herligt spil baseret på bonusbanerne fra Super Mario 3D World.
