Gametrailers.com recently spoke with Nintendo Reggie Fils-Aime to ask him about all the games coming out this Winter season, such as Super Mario Bros Wii and The Legend of Zelda, Spirit Tracks. He also debunks (again) the possibility of Wii HD coming out next year. Good interview with lots of new info!

N+ Review: Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games (Wii)
By Justin. Tuesday, 20. October 2009, 23:23:44
What can I say? I have been a huge fan of both Super Mario and Sonic my whole life! So when Seagull told me he had a chance to get us some copies of Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games to review, I got ecstatic! I mean, when I was little, it was a dream of mine to have my two favorite characters come together in a game. Granted, I wanted to see them in an Adventure/Platform type of game where Robotnik and Bowser team up and its up to Mario and Sonic to stop them from destroying the world. But until that day comes, we are stuck with Mario and Sonic putting up some friendly competition against each other in the Winter Olympic Games. Did SEGA improve from the last year's Summer Olympic game, or did they somehow manage to make a bad game with Mario in it? Hit the jump to find out!
N+ Review: Mario & Sonic Winter Olympics DS
By Anton. Monday, 19. October 2009, 11:50:00
SEGA recently sent us a couple copies of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, one for Wii and one for DS. Now we are ready to start posting our hands-on impressions! The Summer Games edition did quite well all over the world, and was actually a big surprise for many people. Somehow they took Sega's biggest mascot, Nintendo's biggest mascot, and a huge event like the Olympics - crashed 'em together, and made something good!The last Winter Olympic game I played was Nagano Winter Olympics 1998 for Nintendo 64 and it was pretty sweet, albeit very limited in tracks and controls. But this is 2009 and on the DS. We also have Sonic and Mario as guides to this years festivities, not your average people. Ready? OK, lets go!
Rumor: Charles Martinet Teases New Mario Game?
By Joel Luther. Sunday, 18. October 2009, 02:22:04
Twitter can be an absolutely amazing service. That said, it's not always the most reliable source of news. That's why this story is marked as a rumor; one I'm reluctant to post.
If this Twitter account, supposedly that of voice actor Charles Martinet, is real, then we have quite an interesting story on our hands. Martinet, who voices several characters for Nintendo, including Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi, dropped some major Mario-related news over the past week:
Mama Mia!!!! I'm going to Seattle this week to record a new Mario game! Woo Hooo!!!!! I can hardly wait!!!!1
Big day tomorrow! Seattle for a new Mario game! Yippee!!! And just as a joke, it's going to rain....in San Francisco tomorrow!
Awesome new Mario Game! And it's not NSMB Wii, and it's not Galaxy 2, but it's going to be crazy fun!
Even if the Twitter account is real, I wouldn't get my hopes up just yet. Martinet could always be teasing Mario Party 9.

RIP Captain Lou Albano
By Justin. Thursday, 15. October 2009, 00:04:51
I am saddened to report that WWE hall of fame inductee Captain Lou Albano, who is best known to gamers as playing Mario on the "Super Mario Bros. Super Show," has passed away today at the age of 76. Sad day for both wrestling and video game fans alike. 
But on the bright side, now he's "Doing the Mario!" in heaven.
TGS 09: New Super Mario Bros. Wii, The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks Dated
By Joel Luther. Thursday, 24. September 2009, 20:40:49
Two of Nintendo's
Yesterday, at the annual Tokyo Game Show, Nintendo announced that New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the first 2D console Mario platformer since Super Mario World, and the first multiplayer Mario title, will be released in America on November 15, 2009.
A few weeks ago, the Big N also announced a released date for the hotly anticipated sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, known as The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. Spirit Tracks will be making a stop on American shelves on December 7, 2009.
After the break, you'll find press releases for both news items, as well as the final boxart for The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 to Eliminate Story
By Joel Luther. Wednesday, 24. June 2009, 03:20:41
Did you enjoy the (optional) backstory regarding Rosalina and the Lumas in Super Mario Galaxy? We hope you're not expecting something similar in the sequel due out next year.
Speaking to Wired.com, legendary game designer Shigeru Miyamoto said that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't have a deep story, if he has his way (and let's be honest: he always does). His reasoning for cutting the story?
I just feel that the Mario games are something that should be a much more bright and active experience. With the Mario games, you don’t need to have such a complicated setting where you have these particular characters with complicated backstories that can weigh down the bright and fun feel of the game. [...] They always want to have these dramatic scenes where Princess Peach gets kidnapped, but I always tell them, no, it’s fine — Princess Peach likes cake, so you can just have them use cake as bait to kidnap Princess Peach, and that’s enough.
So, that's what Miyamoto thinks, and according to Chris Kohler at Wired, that stance might be causing some internal problems at Nintendo. Apparently, Yoshiaki Koizumi, the director of the Mario series, told Kohler that he often tries to sneak bits of story into Mario titles, with or without Miyamoto's approval.
We want to know: what do you think about stories in your Mario games? Do you side with Miyamoto or Koizumi? Let us know in comments.

RUMOR: Wii Fit Plus, New Mario Title To Be Shown At E3
By Joel Luther. Sunday, 31. May 2009, 01:03:44
Nikkei, a popular business newspaper in Japan, is rather well-known for its habit to spill industry secrets before they're supposed to be made known. In 2008, Nikkei broke the news of the DSi, and spoiled several other surprises for Nintendo fans. It should come as no surprise, then, that the paper has a few things to say about Nintendo's E3 conference.
A recent edition of the paper states that Wii Fit Plus, a game which we already know to exist due to Japanese trademarks, will feature online capabilities as well as more precise control, perhaps in the form of the Wii MotionPlus. According to the paper, Wii Fit Plus is due out this fall.
Nikkei also states to expect a new Mario title before the year's end, which seems to correspond with comments from GameStop saying to expect a key Nintendo property to be released before the end of the year. A system is not mentioned, meaning that we could see anything from Super Mario Galaxy 2 to New Super Mario Bros. 2, or anything in between.
Keep checking in to N+ throughout the weekend for more potential leaks, and be sure to come back on Tuesday at 12PM Eastern time for live coverage of Nintendo's E3 press conference.
RUMOR: Mario and Sonic at the... Winter Games?
By Justin. Thursday, 22. January 2009, 16:32:55
According to Spanish gaming site Revogamers, there is a sequel to Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games eading our way. Here is the translation of the Nintendo Action magazine scan, from the site Sega Nerds:Rough translation: “Who are these two and why do they come to see each other? Find out all the details on the mystery game in the next magazine. But before that, here are some clues: Games, Olympics, Cold, Its winter…”
What do you guys think? I personally think that they should stop making the Olympics games and just make a Sonic and Mario crossover platforming adventure game!

More SpeculatioN+
By .ed. Wednesday, 21. January 2009, 00:10:10
Yesterday there was SpeculatioN+. If you explore the countdown there are ...oddities. The countdown ends on Friday, and is on a Sega website. This other countdown also ends Friday, but is on a Marvelous Entertainment website, the developer of No More Heroes, and creator of our beloved Travis Touchdown (twitter link). This other countdown, on the Marvelous Entertainment site, seems to have a Legend of Zelda look to it, while the Sega countdown has a Mario-esque feel. Could Sega be publishing a Marvelous developed title? ...And is it at all related to the Nintendo franchises?
I guess we'll find out Friday.
Mario Tells Your Mom
By Anton. Monday, 22. December 2008, 12:39:29
If you want something for the DS this holiday season, the key is to NOT ask for it! Seriously, get Mario to ask your mom for you! You can only get Mario to ask for things until the end of December. Check out the "Mario Wish List" press release. If you send ME one, send it to my email so I can record it and save it to my iPod forever:If you want people to know what gifts you want for the holidays, you need to speak up. And who better to help you speak up about your love for Nintendo DS games than iconic Nintendo video game character Mario himself?
Starting today, people can visit http://mariowishlist.varitalk.com and check off the Nintendo DS items they hope to receive for the holidays. After users provide some other fun information, your friend, relative or special someone will receive a voice mail or e-mail with a personalized message from Mario about what Nintendo DS gifts you hope to receive.
To provide even more shopping support, Nintendo's holiday Web site is there to help both gift-givers and gift-getters streamline their shopping lists, by offering information about Nintendo DS systems and games. To check it out, go to http://giftcenter.nintendo.com. If you're the one doing the shopping, you can browse through the holiday Web site based on the type of gifts enjoyed by the person you're shopping for, such as the Mario fan, the music groupie or the puzzle fanatic.
But let's say you're the one doing the receiving. The holiday Web site will help you build a wish list and send it as a hint to your loved ones in an e-card with special holiday designs. This feature will be available through the end of December.
