Discussions with retail chains at executive level paint Nintendo's 2013 release strategy as extensive, with the headline draw being a new 3D Mario game released on Wii U by October.CVG

 
However, one person close to the matter has said Nintendo's executive circle was not comfortable fully promoting Wii U until the release of the system's spring update. In January, Nintendo said two updates would arrive before the summer is over.
 CVG
 
A number of blockbuster Wii U games will be released from summer until the end of the year, one of which is a new 3D Mario title. Although CVG is not yet able to confirm what the others will be, a new Mario Kart will debut in playable form at E3.

The marketing campaign will commence at the Los Angeles event (although some claim sooner), where the 3D Mario game will also be playable on the show floor. The title will be released before October, pending development delays.

Shelly Pearce, the PR director at Nintendo UK, told CVG: "From July onwards we will launch a succession of Wii U titles and we will promote these extensively until the end of the year. Marketing activity will include TV, print, online and PR as well as comprehensive experiential and social media campaigns".

She added: "We have a strong line up planned for Wii U in the second half of 2013 including the likes of Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD Wii U.

"We are looking forward to launching these in the UK and for the opportunity to showcase the full potential of Wii U."CVG

This would explain a lot about the Wii U and how it has been handled; also I wonder what the 3D Mario game is. Super Mario Galaxy 3?

I'm hoping for more of a Super Mario 64 kinda vibe from the new one. I loved the SMG games, but Super Mario 64 was "game of the century" material.

Bayonetta 2, The Wonderful 101, and hopefully a few others make it out before the summer is over.

I hope it isn't Super Mario Galaxy 3 I hope it is something new; I love Super Mario Galaxy 2 more than Super Mario Galaxy.

 

But the only reason Galaxy 2 was made was they had too many ideas that they didn't use in Super Mario Galaxy.

Seriously agree, I would buy another for my Wife and a Wii U for each of my Dogs (2 of them...). Super Mario Universe like that would be just incredible.

I wonder if they'll add some sort of jolly co-op gameplay. I can't imagine they'd limit the Gamepad to just one person usage, and even without that I'd actually like to see what Nintendo could do with co-op in a 3D Mario.

Wind Waker: 100% Less Triforce Fetch Quest HD Edition. That way people actually know what the hell it is.

But really, TLOZ: WW HD would suffice.

They changed content in Ocarina of Time 3D to make it a little less tedious.

They did say they want to change things gamers complained about in Wind Waker.

They didn't specify what they meant by "tuning up the gameplay." If that part is still in there, then it's still screwed up.

They should almost be done they started Xenoblade Chronicles in 2007 and they finished it in 2010; They started Project X in 2010 so they should be close to finishing it.

SMG2 is the greatest expansion pack ever made. But very strange for a company who has never before made direct sequels. Makes you wonder if their well has run dry. And for this news...well duh...yeah.....

This has been confirmed for a while now. The only thing that's different there is the rumour that nintendo's executives aren't willing to promote the Wii U until spring. I mean, why release it then?

Some of the level designs in SMG2 was pretty much proof of how much content the team have thought up for SMG1. Would it have been DLC on HD consoles? Maybe, but then again, so many new stuff were added that made a phenomenal experience even better. There won't be a SMG3. Heck, I'm not even sure if SMG2 will ever be topped. SMG2 might actually be Mario at its plateau.

How exciting. Can't wait for the games to start rolling in. Starting with Pikmin 3 (hopefully Rayman Legends App can hold me 'til then, I don't think there is much else coming out before Pikmin 3 is there?).

Michael0134567
i actually wouldn't mind that. i loved sunshine's tropical theme.it was one of those games that regardless of which part i picked to play, i'd play it with a smile on my face, because it was just so happy and light hearted. don't get me wrong, i love galaxy, but galaxy had that "grandeur" thing to it, whereas sunshine was like "here's a beach, some crystal clear water, a clear sky and a squirt gun". it was like a "resort vacation" version of mario (and it literally is, as far as the story is concerned).

Nintendo done goofed. A bit too late to start promosting your underpowered system when the first REAL next gen console has already been revealed and garnering TONS of hype and another reveal is just around the corner.

I sure hope you are right. I have owned all the major consoles in just about every generation of gaming. Some of those rumors are some heavy hitters though and they just need to get derailed first.

You know what would put my 720 hype meter through the roof? Something like an exclusive Knights of the Old Republic, or an exclusive Elder Scrolls game like Morrowind was for the Xbox (console wise) ((None of that Skyrim crap)). Hell, even a new Killer Instinct from Rare would kick ass. If Microsoft ever takes their foot off of Rare's throat that is. I'm not even sure if the KotOR game is possible however :(

So all the rumors regarding the lack of promotion were true after all.  Go figure, Nintendo will properly push the system later this year but how will they do so this E3?  Especially having them admit that they are waiting to start the campaign around that time.

We Nintendo fans usually buy a new Nintendo system when a "core" Mario title gets released for it, so yes, it's a pretty big deal for us. ;)

Note that the New SMB series are a 2D sub-series and not regarded in the same fashion as a "proper" 3D Mario title.
