The Tanooki Suit and classic Mario 64 3D gameplay return on the Nintendo 3DS! Take another look at it in action from Nintendo's coverage of E3 2011.

#watchthis Just when you think you've seen it all, a Mario game comes along with just enough of a twist on the last one to make you fall for it all over again. More »

Mario puts on a Tanooki suit and goes into the 3rd dimension.

There's no doubt in my mind I love what Nintendo is doing with Mario 3DS. The game is at once nostalgic and original. It's 2D and 3D. It's challenging yet simple. In many ways it finds an incredible balance... except for one...

The leaf power-up makes its triumphant return in an all new Mario game on the 3DS!

Fresh from the Nintendo Q&A, we've learned that Super Mario 3DS has at least one neat level: one that's a Zelda tribute, from the top-down NES-style camera view to going room-to-room in a dungeon solving puzzles. More »

Never-before-seen gameplay at E3 2011 presented by Reggie!

#blip At E3, Nintendo revealed it has an all-new Super Mario adventure built specifically for the 3DS, arriving on store shelves by the year's end. More »

We already knew that Nintendo's leading man Mario is to appear in an all-new Nintendo 3DS game. Simply entitled Super Mario 3DS, the game is a 2D-meets-3D Mario adventure that, among other things, brings back the much-beloved Tanooki Suit...

As we get closer and closer to E3 2011, we've been doing a lot of prediction pieces and previews. But when it comes to Nintendo games there's often nothing to go on. Case in point: Super Mario 3DS. We've seen, like, half a screenshot, and a logo. Now to keep us from going all Nintendo fanboy and s...

Nintendo's 3DS system might be struggling to maintain its predecessor's breakneck sales, but Shigeru Miyamoto isn't worried. In fact he's already starting to focus on what's coming up next for the system, including the eShop, due for release in a worldwide update later this month, and Super Mario 3DS, possibly due out before the end of this year...

In a recent interview with Edge, industry legend Shigeru Miyamoto confirmed two of the suspicions we'd developed regarding the handful of Super Mario 3DS details revealed during the publisher's GDC presentation. First, he explained, "It's a combination of Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario on N64." Which makes sense, considering we knew it was being developed by the team between both installments in the Galaxy series. He added that the device's 3D capabilities makes platforming a bit smoother, explaining, "The floors floating in space: in 2D it's difficult to judge the distance, but in 3D it's really easy."

Second, remember the tail that was springing out of the logo? That wasn't just some sad remnant of a half-deleted Wingding -- it was, as you probably expected, an appendage. Miyamoto explained, "The tail you mentioned on the logo - it's what you think it is. You probably know what's going to happen using that character." Who, Tanooki? Yeah, we know that guy's style. He's gonna get right in our trash cans, mess up our yard and then fly off into the crisp, night sky.

We'll have our opportunity to get reacquainted with that ringtailed jerk relatively soon -- Miyamoto explained, Super Mario 3DS is "completely original, and coming this year."

New details about Super Mario 3DS have come to light...

#woohoo When the Nintendo 3DS was first unveiled, we were shown a bunch of trailers from games that barely even existed yet. And even then, saw nothing of a new Mario game. So it'd be sweet if it actually came out this year. More »

We saw a few screens and a logo for Super Mario 3DS earlier today, but how much do we really know about the game? We have very little content to pour over, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t details worth discussing!

What insight do these screenshots offer into the next handheld Mario title?
