Nintendo has confirmed that it will not be bringing the magic that is Super Mario Galaxy to the 3DS.<\/p>\n
It’s a sad announcement, given that Super Mario Galaxy is the Wii’s most critically acclaimed property; but Nintendo has a good explanation.<\/p>\n
“When we started developing [Super Mario 3D Land], we displayed Super Mario Galaxy 2 on a small TV monitor and found that Mario looked like a speck and that the game was difficult to play,” said Super Mario 3D Land director Koichi Hayashida speaking to IGN.<\/p>\n
“This led us to look into the camera and terrain types that would be conducive to playing on a portable screen with a relatively large Mario. If we were making a console game, from the very start, we wouldn’t have been thinking about any of those things, and I think the game would have probably been a lot different.”<\/p>\n
Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel are the two highest scoring Wii games on Metacritic, both earning aggregate scores of 97\/100. Super Mario 3D Land has also fared well with reviewers, and is the second highest scoring 3DS game on Metacritic with a score of 90\/100.<\/p>\n
