Speaking to French magazine Gamekult towards the end of last week, Mario inventor and all-round gaming Elvis, Shigeru Miyamoto, revealed some thrilling details regarding the true sequel to Mario 64, going by the working title of Mario 128.
Firstly, Mario 128 is unlikely to be the game's final name, according to Miyamoto. He said that the title had stuck, since it was first dubbed that more than three years ago. He also hinted that Mario 128 has been in development a long time, and that it was begun even before Super Mario Sunshine, a game believed by many to be based around resurrected N64DD code.
What’s more, Miyamoto also revealed that his team is working towards a release by the end of this year, at least in Japan - much sooner than was expected. This could mean that an American release may also happen before Christmas, with a European version to follow soon after.
Expect to see much more from Mario 128, including playable code, at this year’s E3 in Los Angeles in May.
