How about a new ip?
At this point I'm not even surprised. They need to play safe.

What e3 2017, "maybe"?
I am not sure about Nintendo throwing out titbits all the time, it seems to do more damage with the constant speculating, Nintendo have lost my trust and also the trust of many others and the only way they can gain my trust is to say something and then back it up right away not in a year or so's time, since the NX announcement Nintendo have said very little just the odd tease hear and there, it just seems that they are on the back foot, we need to get into VR as everyone else is doing VR, and then the Neo/Scorpio are announced after Nintendo saying that the NX will be half way between the X1 and PS4 thus today Reggie on NX vs Neo/Scorpio: "For us it's not about specs", "red ocean" , I agree that game-play is king and graphics play second fiddle, but now I am sorry this is all starting to sound very Peter Molyneux'esq :sigh:
Hmm. I was expecting to reveal that alongside the NX. Heck I was expecting the Zelda blowout to accompany the NX reveal until we got the news about their e3 plans.
I wonder what, if any software will be shown when they reveal NX later this year.
edit: Anyways I'm real excited to get a new kind of Mario. Surprise me Nintendo.

Nintendo could very well have more then one Mario game currently in development.
Open world survival mario game. You can win the game without saving the princess from another castle.
Actually this is big news reading some of the comments, it confirms no Mario for NX launch.
Nah.. It confirms that the NX is getting delayed due to lack of games being ready.

Yeah this is wild. Look out for an ANNOUNCEMENT in a YEAR or TWO. That said, open world Mario where you can hop in karts to get around.

So the NX is expected to drop in March '17, and the big Mario game for the NX will *maybe* be able to be *revealed* 3 months later.
I wouldn't get too worried about it. Nintendo really only shows games early in development when they are in panic mode. Miyamoto is probably being coy. Mario feels like it would be a great headliner for Holiday 2017.

No Mustache
Mario is my favorite character and franchise ever 5ever so this truly excites me more like Zelda and Metroid combined. And after seeing just how beautiful and exciting the new Zelda looks, I'm totally looking forward to see those kind of changes on the Mario franchise, especially if it's for a 3D Mario game.

Man, I really wonder what the hell Retro is working on?
Miyamoto stepped away from his position of GM last September. Rightfully so, there are generations of people who deserve to each have a shot.

You're right. It usually sells a lot better than Uncharted!

Not a fan of open world platforming. I've always had more fun with linear ones.

Yes
Nintendo should stop making Mario games
That is a sane business move
They have a new Zelda at launch. They don't need Mario until Holiday 2017 at the earliest.
Oh god, is Sunshine now getting the 3D Land/World treatment and someone forgot to send the memo out about it?
they just released this last year
why would they ever stop making mario games? Mario can be innovative within itself.
Also random guess but Zelda, Smash Port port for NX launch, Pikmin 4 within a month. 3D Mario first big title for Holiday 2017.

Like Splatoon?
Oh wait, that probably doesnt count when you want to criticise Nintendo. Nothing to see here, move along.

Ew no, GROSS.
No open-worlds in Mario! There are too many damn open world games as it is this gen, and open-world's don't typically mesh with densely-packed challenging and imaginative obstacle courses.
Hopefully "A new kind of Mario is coming" just means a tightly designed linear 3D platforming game based around a well thought out platforming-friendly novel mechanic (like time manipulation, shrinking/growing, turning into the classical elements, hover boarding, controlling/riding imaginative animals, etc.) that heavily influences the direction of the run&jump level design,- preferably, but not likely- has a new bad guy with a new set of minions, and takes place in a cool new setting that isn't Peach's Mushroom Kingdom.
No open world Mario, I'm sick of this open world trend infecting everything like a contemptible virus.

I was expecting to see the new Mario THIS E3 before they dispelled all NX expectations

Please don't make the difficulty for modern 5 year olds and up. I want a killer core Mario game.

Hopefully this isn't just empty talk. But him offing Koizumi makes me a bit skeptical about the sincerity of this.
Also, how long ago was it he talked about creating a new IP? 2010? If project Giant Robot was what he had in mind when saying that, then he's even more out of touch than I thought.

But it will launch with Zelda BoTW! Zelda on March 2017 and new 3D Mario on holiday 2017... But Miyamoto said that they will talk about it in a year or two
Hope it doesn't take that long.They already made Splatoon.
The difference between this and something like Star Fox is that there are many who actively want to see something new from 3D Mario - something that stands on its own apart from 64, the Galaxy games and 3D Land/World.
This sentiment is prevalent on anu thread that focuses on 3D World.
