Quick Quotes – Miyamoto makes Mario developers nervous
“When we show a power-up to Mr. Miyamoto, we get a bit nervous, but he usually understands our ideas.”
“Mr. Miyamoto had an inscrutable expression when we showed him the designs [for the Bee Suit and Boo Suit]; he isn’t a big fan of making Mario cute.”
Nintendo staffers Koichi Hayashida and Yoshiaki Koizumi recall their feelings on working on Mario power-ups under the guidance of creator Shigeru Miyamoto, speaking with Kotaku.

New Mario in the works according to VO, not NSMB Wii or Galaxy 2
The voice actor for Mario, Charles Martinet, has tweeted that there is a new game in the works involving the plumber.
The first assumption would be it’s for Galaxy 2 or New Super Mario Bros Wii. But it turns out it’s a completely new game altogether, one not announced yet.
“Awesome new Mario Game! And it’s not NSMB Wii, and it’s not Galaxy 2, but it’s going to be crazy fun!”
In fact, Martinet says before the said tweet he is working on a new Mario game. Twice, actually.
Let the wild speculation begin as to what said game is.
Thanks, Gaming Target.
