Shigeru Miyamoto has said that Nintendo is aiming to release Super Mario 3DS this year in a recent interview with GameBlog.fr, meaning we might see the tanooki suit in 3D much earlier than anticipated. But then again, probably not considering Nintendo rarely releases games on time anymore *cough* Skyward Sword *cough*. How awesome would it be to have both a Mario platformer and kart racer out in time for Christmas though?
