Super Mario 3D

Nintendo has always been teacher in use in the best way its most famous franchise, first and foremost, of course, one that sees the protagonist Mario. After practically invented the 3D platformer, the most famous Italian plumber in the world you amused (and we with him) to explore new dimensions and new ways to repurpose a well-established and successful formula, which has seen in his series Galaxy high spikes pi of creativity.

Super Mario 3D (title still provisional) tenter to mix all of this, proposing something cool but at the same time. Its output expected by the end of the year and not difficult to predict yet another success and perhaps the final stepping stone to the 3DS.

The approach chosen by Nintendo for this umpteenth Mario adventure rather particular and sits halfway between the dynamic nature of the already mentioned Galaxy (whose team leader of this project) and the immobility of the two New Super Mario Bros.. Those who have had the opportunity to give a first look at the levels of the game swears that this perfect mix of 2D and 3D, something that reminds us not only the old and new Mario but also various titles such as Crash Bandicoot and so on.

The demo presented in camera, during the last E3 showed a shot of the game that we had never seen in previous chapters of the series. A camera follows from above (or better, 3/4) action, in a manner similar to the numerous Zelda in "portable" version. But this just one of many surprises for Super Mario 3D, that thanks to this particular game design will be able to offer challenges ever attempted before.

But Zelda is not the only Nintendo product to have influenced this new release. Also the previous episodes of the series, including Super Mario Bros. 3, have left an indelible mark on the gameplay of the game ... as evidenced by the "procionesco" Mario you saw in the image. Obviously there are all trademarks of saga, from end-of-level flag to various cubes, custodians of valuable bonus, from the inevitable Magikoopa to chiss what other wierd things.

Returning for a moment the Raccoon costume, Mario will wear it after finding the canonical super-leaf and once this costume he earns short glides to reach areas (and bonuses) otherwise impossible, as well as for their lives in dangerous situations particularly in extremis.
