A new Super Mario Bros. 3DS title is currently in development according to the mouth of Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto himself in a new interview.

This was revealed via a brief comment you may have missed from the latest Iwata Asks interview.

To quote:

“Miyamoto: So, in the interests of adopting new technology for the Super Mario Bros. tradition, I am now making a new Super Mario Bros. game for the Nintendo 3DS system.”

Of course, this will hardly come as a surprise to anyone, considering the extremely huge sales of both New Super Mario Bros. DS and New Super Mario Bros. Wii which continue to sell at phenomenal rates even today.

Above you get a glimpse at what a sterescopic 3D Mario game could potentially look like, even though its not an official screenshot or anything, just a cool piece of art.
