This is the best possible scenario.

I mean, Twilight Princess and Super Mario Galaxy were only about a year apart. I could imagine BotW and the new Mario to be closer together.
2017 will be smashing.
Miyamoto: "We must remember the conventions that make Mario games what they are."
Aounuma: "Break all the conventions."

Agreed. Mario HAS to be female next time around.

They didn't "perfect" anything, they made a game for people who enjoy classic sidescrollers and more or less alienated players who grew up enjoying the new type of platforming games spearheaded by Mario 64. Because for about a decade platformers were synonymous with this sort of design, you can't just ignore this period of gaming history and treat it as some sort of mistake. Look at the success of the Yooka Laylee kickstarter, there's an audience for this type of experience, and it's obvious Nintendo could create something really special if they adopted this design again, let their creativity run free and tried to perfect it.
This would be risky but it certainly would be one of the easiest ways to improve Mario's jumping options.

Sounds intriguing.
A year or two though? I really hoped they had something like this up their sleeve for NX launch.

That'll never happen. Mario games will always be someone's first. The best you can hope for is a spinoff like New Super Luigi U that sets out to be a challenging alternative for those who have already beaten the first.

Next E3 is pretty late. I would've thought they would show the new Mario at the NX reveal, I mean, it's been years since 3D World.

I think they will. I just don't think Nintendo wants to say anything about the NX unveiling yet.

I think that Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 are very clearly the best games of last generation so I'm excited to see what's next.
Yeah I'm getting the same vibes.

Please no more grass, sand and fire levels please....... and no Koopalings.... I'm so extremly tired of these.
If a "new kind of Mario" just means a Mario without Koopalings I'd already be satisfied. I really don't know what Nintendo is thinking by forcing them into every single Mario game these days. It makes them all feel the same.
Time for a gritty reboot.
Honestly I kinda like the Mercedes Mario design
Only if we bring along Luigi too.

Nobody wants that as a main 3D Mario platforming game....I want a Nintendo created experience. Not make my own levels. They can make that on the side.
oh wow. I really think that's what they are going for. this quote is damning. Nintendo is such an ace at this stuff. they release something completely original like Mario Maker, now if they brought those concepts they've innovated on into 3D who could really feel like they are apeing Minecraft?
that game left so much to be innovated on by Nintendo anyways. despite all of the money it'd earned, it's still a half baked indie.
imagine Minecraft-esque building with enormous open-world style hand-designed (no procedural garbage) by Nintendo base levels, alongside Mario Sunshine-esque platforming. Top it off with Nintendo polish and this game will be a force.

Before you get all experimental. Can I have a true sequel to SM64/Galaxy for the NX.
You know. A proper free roaming 3D Mario.
Thanks Nintendo.

I always did like the idea of porting Super Mario Maker to the NX.
The problem is, how would it exactly work? All signs point to the NX not having a second screen to work with. And without a second screen, where would the touch screen (which made SMM possible to work) go?

There is middle ground here. They can make the base campaign levels themselves and have it be a fully functional platformer in itself, with the crafting as a mild gimmick in the main game, while simultaneously still having crafting elements and the option for massive open-world crafting style games.
Having a huge Mario level where you can wall jump off skyscrapers is cool. But what about a game where you could build and share crazy experiences like that yourself? It gives the game longevity and even more universal appeal
3D Land and World are NOT a sidescrollers. What's more, there isn't a single 3D game like them. In 2016 they're way more unique than the "new types of platforming games," you speak of. I'd take another completely new form of Mario if they nailed their idea as well as they did the 3D World games.
That said, you know, I do think a new 64 type game is something that should be done at some point.

If it's another mode then I'm fine with it, but Super Mario Galaxy 2 is probably my favorite game of all time and I would love a sequel to that to where it's complete huge open galaxy to maybe where you fly around in a spaceship literally controlling it. Or I would love a mix up Super Mario 3D World and Mario 64 where you have a huge Mushroom Kingdom or a new kingdom to explore and go to open levels to collect stars either by yourself or with up to 4 players.
If they want to do a "Minecraft Mario" mode to where you can build 3D levels and post them online for others to play, I would have no problem as long as I get the main 3D platforming experience from them.
Well, it could just use an iPhone/Android or tablet as a second screen. This is a way to help bring casuals in by saying "you can use your phone for Super Mario Maker!"

Remember when we all wanted them back? Also, kill Boom-Boom too.

Well they could still be working on SMG3. They hinted at that before. I just don't think that is what they are referencing here. They can be working on both games pretty easily. I know they pumped out SMG2 pretty fast. When it comes to taking Mario in a bolder direction, I doubt it is GTA style open world or anything silly like that. It doesn't work well with platforming. Builder games, do, however. And Nintendo needs the new generation of kids won over

Super Mario 64 was a great platformer. I think they can do that again, but way bigger in this era. Look, at Yooka Laylee and the praise it's getting. Plus, Nintendo was already asked about a 3D Mario Maker style game and I think they said they don't see that happening for another two generations lol.
I shouldn't say it has to be "open world". It would be an interconnected world.

But who would be in charge of the game, as in director or producer? For Super Mario 3D -series, the director was Koichi Hayashida, while Yoshiaki Koizumi was the producer. Super Mario Maker seems to be done by entirely different team.
Koizumi hasn't really produced a game since Super Mario 3D World, so maybe it's his team whose in charge again.

No offence to Yooka Laylee, but I think we expect more of Mario than a game like that.
this sounds rather dismissive
anyway, a Mario Maker 3D game would be neat. Imagine being able to create Mario 64-esque levels with the editor
We expect more of a Mario game than to look whimsical and fun?
Cause that's all I really go in for.
He basically says in his interview in the OP, in Miyamoto Speak, that they're not doing an open-world game like Zelda. He wouldn't say anything along those lines if it is remotely similar. He also wouldn't be calling it a bold, new Mario if it was just Mario 64 2.0. Sorry to kill the dream, man, but read between the lines here.

VR Mario. The next system has to VR. No way they are missing the boat on this. Except instead of getting an addon, NX will BE VR. I expect Nintendo to go all in with this in a way that will shock and awe.
