Two Mario Games Confirmed

So we now have it confirmed by Nintendo that two Mario games are in development, one for the Wii U and one for the 3DS. It’s also been confirmed that the Wii U one will be based on the Super Mario Bros. Mii demo shown at last year’s E3 2011.

We also know that one of them will probably be named Super Mario 4, but it’s only announced so the title may change, and it hasn’t been announced to be shown at E3 2012 but it probably will. However I don’t know why they would choose that title as I can only imagine it referencing the old Super Mario Brothers series on the NES. I doubt it’s the Wii U Mario as that one would be the third in the New Super Mario Brothers series.

So Super Mario 4 could be the 3DS Mario title but I still don’t follow the title. Something I noticed that other sites did not is that it’s Super Mario 4 not Super Mario Bros. 4 so this might not even have much to do with the NES series. 

Anyways, since it’s looking like the Wii U will be having a side scrolling Mario the 3DS will probably be a 3D free roaming Mario.
