Super Mario Galaxy. Many people speculated it was Smash Bros, but according to IGN it's indeed Mario.

In the same article, they also confirm that Brawl has a 70 person dev team. AWESOME!

Mario isn't being made by Miyamoto? Honestly my enthusiasm just dropped a bit.

Oh, I'm SURE Miyamoto had a big say on this.

And Donkey Kong Jungle Beat was AWESOME. Don't diss it...

MattVDB · « **Reply #4 on:** May 11, 2006, 09:59:14 AM »

No, I believe Miyamoto still has a huge hand in it. I also just read on IGN that it still may make launch, he just didn't want to promise. He did say that it would be out within 6 months though, so that is good news.

EDIT: Miyamoto on Mario
Nintendo Tokyo is the team that did DKJB, for the record.

Reggie even mentioned Miyamoto giving Mario new moves not possible before with the Wii during the conference

I'm seeing confirmation that Mario Galaxy will be the best game of all time here. Is anyone else seeing this?

couchmonkey · « **Reply #7 on:** May 11, 2006, 10:03:10 AM »

Oh great, now we can speculate about Mario 128 for another five years.

Seriously, this is pretty interesting news. I trust them, DKJB was my favourite game last year. Edit: did anyone else think of DKJB's space level when they first saw this game? I did...

"I'm seeing confirmation that Mario Galaxy will be the best game of all time here. Is anyone else seeing this?"

Pretty much confirmed, I'd say.

Also, Ian: Miyamoto is working on this. With the DK: JB team, which he obviously hand-picked for the project, because that game rocked the sh!t.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #9 on:** May 11, 2006, 10:53:19 AM »

DK:JB team or Tokyo EAD? Because there are enough people for TWO games at the Tokyo studio...

I'm pretty sure the Jungle Beat team is hard at work on the next Donkey Kong game...

I wasnt aware that one man could make a game all by himself at that level (at least in this day and age). If you really think that Miyamoto is just gonna throw the NEW mario game for the NEW Nintendo system to some random developer and say "Hurry up, b*tches!" You ARE nuts. And even if he did, with practically everyone saying this is shaping up to be the greatest Mario of all time, then I think we would need to give major props to that team. Seriously, Miyamoto has had his hand in many, many projects over the course of the past few years, many of them not being his original games. Since Mario is his most well known, and since Nintendo really needs a Nintendo Of Japan flagship game, I have a feeling he is probably very much involved in this project, more so than any of the others. Of course I dont KNOW this, but it sure makes sense to me.

I hope it is the Jungle Beat team. I compared that game to old school SMBs as DKJB demanded that I play all the levels until I completely memorized them and was sick of them, like SMB. I want to play SMG's levels until I vomit. They've had at least one good new idea for platforming, let's hope there's more where that came from.

Terranigma Freak · « **Reply #12 on:** May 11, 2006, 01:25:13 PM »

You know the the Jungle Beat team is made of... FORMER EAD team members. Do you honestly think Miyamoto won't have a hand in it?

IceCold · « **Reply #13 on:** May 11, 2006, 02:18:27 PM »

Oh..

Not sure how to react to this. Miyamoto will no doubt have a lot to do with it, but still.. The fact that EAD isn't developing a Mario platformer for the first year of a new console with a brand new control scheme is just.. weird. It also tells me that the game isn't as important to Nintendo as EAD's other projects. Obviously they (EAD) have a lot on their plate at the moment, but I would have hoped that a Mario game would command their attention. Or they could have moved it to later on in the Wii's cycle, but still work on it internally. However, they probably wanted it as close to launch as possible, so they did this.

I know that Tokyo EAD has great developers and they are more than competent. With Miyamoto's involvement the game will turn out great. But this has dampened my enthusiasm. Of course, Mario is still my most anticipated Wii title..

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #14 on:** May 11, 2006, 02:21:34 PM »

I hope everyone realizes that the reason the game is being done at Tokyo EAD is because that's where the Mario team went after completing Sunshine...

nemo_83 · « **Reply #15 on:** May 11, 2006, 02:22:08 PM »

What this means is Miyamato may be working on something totally different. There are already rumblings this isn't the fabled Mario 128 they still have in planning...

Requiem · « **Reply #16 on:** May 11, 2006, 02:32:04 PM »

I don't know about you Nemo, but Galaxy has MIYAMOTO written all over it.

What ARE EAD's other projects? Aside from trying to pass off a Cube game as a Wii launch title I mean.

Dasmos · « **Reply #18 on:** May 11, 2006, 04:35:45 PM »

BEST NEWS! Now I know this game is going to be absolutely awesome! In fact I am now anticipating this as much as I am SSBBrawl. I also thought of Jungle Beat after I saw Mario linking the blue stars.

Well, as you said, they have TP, but they've also been working a few DS projects (Phantom Hourglass, New Super Mario Bros). They may also be developing Yoshi's Island 2 and StarFox DS (although I think that's Q-Games).

But you're right; we haven't seen much from them in a while. I expect to see at least 2 more titles revealed from EAD, one of which being Miyamoto's new IP..

Mario · « **Reply #21 on:** May 11, 2006, 06:09:17 PM »

OH MY F*CKING GOD!!!!!!!!!

YES!!!

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat was way more of a Mario game than Sunshine and Mario 64, this is the best news i've ever heard.

18 Days is right, this will be the greatest game of all time. Dasmos, I thought of Jungle Beat at those star grabbing parts too.

BTW Tokyo EAD is basically like the Nintendo dream team, so obviously Miyamoto plays a big role there.

I'm also hoping they are working on a new Donkey Kong game too.

Oh really? All of them? I didn't know that.. Well then, that takes care of most of my worries. I'm still concerned, though, that with Miyamoto doing everything he is at the moment with EAD, he won't have enough time to spend on Mario.

This definitely clears things up for me, though; all my unwarranted fears have gone.

Artimus · « **Reply #23 on:** May 11, 2006, 08:52:59 PM »

Considering how Miyamoto has been talking, he is 100% involved in this project.

Go watch the HD video at IGN and you will have no worries.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #24 on:** May 11, 2006, 09:04:47 PM »

Just here reinforcing what Artimus just said. That video is nothing short of sheer brilliance.
