Mario for Wii U to be shown at E3 later this year
by Andrew Yoon, Apr 16, 2012 9:15am PDTGetting older. Taxes. New Mario games on Nintendo hardware. Some things in life are simply inevitable. So, forgive us for not being surprised when Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto revealed that a new Super Mario game will be headed to the company's next home console, the Wii U.
"Mr. Miyamoto confirmed that a new Super Mario Bros. game for the Wii U system will be shown at this year's E3 Expo," a Nintendo spokesperson said.
"We'll have more to announce about our plans for the E3 Expo at a later date," the company told Eurogamer.
The new Mario game will have to showcase the benefit of Wii U's unique tablet-like interface. Other games coming to the Wii U include a new Pikmin title, which Miyamoto claims will "take advantage of the new HD screen resolution."

Nintendo has a lot to prove this E3. If the tech doesn't deliver a huge upgrade over current games it will be a Dreamcast. I hope it isn't but Nintendo needs to dip into that war chest if it wants to win back the core audience. I know I'm not buying any consoles until they are all out in the open. I was a Wii fanboy and was even banned for posting magazine scans because I was so hyped up. My Wii hasn't been turned on since Mario Galaxy 2.
