Perhaps Nintendo is considering moving the anticipated title to Nintendo's next generation console as a launch title. Harrison did say the title was still under development and it could possibly come to the GameCube, however it is not a certainty at this point. Harrison has suggested that Mario 128 may not be released on the GameCube. In a recent interview conducted by CNN Money, Mr. So Nintendo fans continue to wait for any information they can get their hands on.and they may continue to wait according to George Harrison, US vice president of marketing.

Nintendo claimed that the innovation in the game had to be kept a secret, and thus, they decided it was not appropriate to show the game. Many believed that the game would be shown at E3 this past May unfortunately it was not. Nintendo proceeded to launch Super Mario Sunshine as they kept Mario 128 close to their coat. The tile was dubbed 100 Marios and quickly became the talk of the show. Mario 128 was originally shown as a GameCube tech demo at Space World before the GameCube's launch in 2000. NOA's George Harrison said the game may not make it to the Cube. rendered for actual gameplay, but maybe Nintendo's ace-up-the-sleeve (that oft quoted 'Spring of 2004' announcement that will change the face of gaming), has something to do with Mario.Įdit: But then again, there's also this. So granted, I'm inclined to believe that the renders are too. We presume this is what he was referring to.

Nintendo development grand daddy Shigeru Miyamoto has gone on record (with Japan's Playboy magazine, of all things) stating that Mario 128 will feature a freshness that was lacking from Mario Sunshine. Apparently, Nintendo refrained from putting the title on display at E3 in order to prevent it from being stolen.

According to the magazine, Nintendo's upcoming Mario 128 title is being built around a new idea that's never before been seen in a game. JThe latest issue of Japan's Nintendo Dream magazine is apparently home to good news for Mario fanatics who were a bit disappointed with Mario Sunshine.
