‘Little chance that he could take the time to work on the next Mario’ In a recent interview withFrench outlet Gamekult, Nintendo’s spritely King of old man magic voiced plans to move away from headlining theMariofranchise — “Creating a game of the caliber ofSuper Mario 3D Worldtakes a lot of energy and there is little chance that I could take the time to work on the next Mario.
