Charles Martinet, the acclaimed voice behind Nintendo’s main mascot, Mario, has recently been twittering about a new Mario title that he’s set to be staring in. He’s already confirmed that the game isn’t New Super Mario Bros Wii nor is it the eagerly awaited Super Mario Galaxy 2, so what can it be?

It’s been confirmed that some of the biggest Nintendo titles are definitely making their way to the Wii this year.
Wii Fit Plus, New Super Mario Bros Wii, and the Metroid Trilogy are all destined for Nintendo Wii this year, according to Nintendo Australia managing director Rose Lappen.
“No specific release dates, but certainly in the order of Wii Sports Resort first, then we’re hoping Wii Fit Plus will come in around October – potentially late October – and then Mario in around late November, early December.” she said. “Metroid Prime Trilogy is certainly coming. That looks fantastic. And it’s got a little… special item in the book. That’s definitely coming.”

There were some surprising revelations at Nintendo’s E3 press conference today with some new key titles revealed.
Whilst speculation was rife regarding what the ultra-secretive Nintendo would announce I can now confirm that New Super Mario Brothers Wii and Wii Fit Plus were revealed, though to a thoroughly non-responsive crowd.
The overall atmosphere thankfully changed for the better as Nintendo causally left the best for last by announcing the sublime Super Mario Galaxy 2 and the frankly awesome looking Super Metroid: Other M. Both of these fresh, exclusive Wii titles took the audience by storm creating a buzz that reverberated throughout the entire conference hall.

Nintendo are poised to announce a whole slew of new information at tomorrows GDC Keynote in San Francisco.
Whilst speculation and rumours are customarily buzzing around the Web regarding possible announcements from the Kyoto based company, no one actually knows for sure what we can expect to hear.
A new addition to the Mario or Zelda franchises wouldn’t go amiss, and neither would information about the Wii’s successor, Wii HD. However, it’s more likely information of this kind will be left to the annual E3 trade event in June.

Could Nintendo be handing down some of their key franchises to different developers?
Two different sites from two different software developers are sporting what appear to be iconic icons from key Nintendo franchises along with a countdown clock.
The first developer is Sega, whose website sports a retro 8bit Mario 1up mushroom, which once clicked provides users with the infamous 1up jingle that’s apparent throughout the Mario franchises.
The second developer is Marvelous Entertainment Inc, whose website depicts what appears to be a Legend of Zelda Triforce, which again is accompanied by a countdown timer.
Could these established development studios be tackling some of the biggest named franchises in Nintendo’s bountiful back catalogue? Hopefully all will be revealed soon…

Fear not loyal Nintendo gamers, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has reconfirmed that both new Mario and Zelda titles are in development and will be hitting the Wii at some point in the very near future.
“Do we have those specific teams working, the Mario team, the Zelda team? Absolutely,” he said. “You’ve got to give us a little bit of time to create these games. They will be coming. I’m not going to spoil the surprise of when. But those games are all coming.”
