Super Mario Coming To the 3DS

Posted by Soulskill on from the it's'a-me-in-three-dee dept.

RedEaredSlider writes with news that Nintendo is working on a Super Mario Bros. title for their 3DS handheld, bringing the classic franchise into the world of 3-D. The announcement came at the end of a lengthy conversation about the creation of the original Super Mario Bros. for the NES with four of the game's developers. They talk about various ideas that didn't make it into the game and show off some interesting conceptual drawings that evolved into one of the most recognizable games of all time.

    I sure didn't see this coming!! Mario you say? Next you'll be telling me Zelda and Metroid will be appearing! Surely this is unprecedented!

    Iwata Asks is a great interview series for anyone who is a fan of old school Nintendo. I really love the talks with the developers and hearing how they came up with the ideas and the working conditions at the time. I taught myself assembly for 6502 so I could program the NES and after reading this series I know just how much easier to program NES games today than it was back then.
