Mario 128

By Rich · November 24, 2004

As if Mario Baseball, Kirby, and the new Zelda screens were enough...

Recently Famitsu Magazine had an interview Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto. Surprisingly he revealed some things that we didn’t know. Here’s what you have to know:

* Within the next 3 to 4 years, online gaming will be mainstream. Nintendo knows that and will try to move into that direction.
* The Nintendo DS will get online gaming sooner than we all think.
* Square-Enix and Nintendo are working on getting the Nintendo DS online.
* The recently announced Mario Baseball is a joint project with Namco.
* Mario 128 is still in development for the GameCube (not for the GameCube successor, codenamed 'Revolution'). Miyamoto could not tell when the game will be released.
* Nintendo is working on a new Pokemon game for the GameCube. Shigeru also added that this game is in development with strong allies.

So there you have it. Online gaming for the DS is a reality and Nintendo is working on it. Also Mario 128 and the new Pokemon, are games that will give a new breath to the GameCube life.
