Think New Super Mario Bros., but newer. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata assured investors today that a new 2D Super Mario game is in the works for 3DS, this one distinguished by its “side-scrolling action.”
Iwata offered no further information about the game in his presentation, but expects it to launch sometime within Nintendo’s next fiscal year. That places the new Mario’s debut sometime after March 2012 — just far enough to complete Super Mario 3D Land and yearn for the days when things were nice and flat.
