Miyamoto: Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be ‘really difficult’

November 16th, 2009 at 02:00pm Under Wii / Nintendo

Much like he did for the just-launched New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Shigeru Miyamoto has announced that Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be “really difficult.” But will it be so difficult as to require Nintendo’s new in-game life preserver, the Super Guide? Miyamoto isn’t so sure yet. “In general,” Miyamoto told Official Nintendo Magazine, “wherever and whenever appropriate, I think we will want to incorporate that kind of thing, but I cannot commit to anything specific right now.”

Here’s our absolutely ridiculous prediction: Miyamoto and crew are going to do with this sequel what they did with Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. Since Galaxy 2 is basically another level pack for an existing game, the team is going to make it almost impossible to complete.

Of course, that won’t happen. More likely, Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be on par with the first game in terms of challenge, but will include the Super Guide to stay consistent with Nintendo’s current strategy.

Shock! Nintendo developing another ‘new Mario game’ says Martinet [update]

October 18th, 2009 at 06:00pm Under Wii / Nintendo

Ahh, the world of social networking services, where everyone from Joystiq to Charles Martinet (the voice of Mario and many other Nintendo characters) can coyly hint at things of interest to the world. Why just yesterday morning, Martinet dropped hints at an “Awesome new Mario game.” Normally such a statement would provide us little in the way of excitement, except it came paired with “And it’s not NSMB [New Super Mario Bros.] Wii, and it’s not Galaxy 2,” as well as assuring us “it’s going to be crazy fun!”

Considering the recent release of Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story and the two he mentioned in his Tweet, we’re fairly sure Mr. “It’s a me, Mario!” is dropping his dulcet tones into an unannounced “new Mario game.” We’ve shot Nintendo a note for some clarification and will update this post as soon as we know more.

Update: Unfortunately, The Big N hasn’t offered us much in the way of information, saying, “We’re always working on new games and experiences, but we have nothing to announce at this time.”
