"Wahey! Pikmin 2 and Mario 128 confirmed :D"

Taken from cube-europe:

Now, we already had an idea that they were on their way, but Miyamoto-san himself has confirmed the development of both Pikmin 2 and Mario 128. Little is known about the two titles, but Miyamoto did say this about Mario 128...

"I believe that with this game you'll be able to feel the "newness" that was missing from Mario Sunshine."

------------
Maybe by newness he means Pikmin with little Marios (i.e.128 of them) incorporating both of the games into one sequel.

I doubt it, but it's an idea ;)

Mario 128 a puzzle game? I doubt it. To quote Shigeru Miyamoto, he's hoping it has 'the newness Sunshine lacked'. For some people, it's going to be the game SMS should have been - so it's most likely to be another great platforming adventure.

Personally, I thought Super Mario Sunshine was great...

Cool, I'll enjoy both of those titles. Me thinks there will now be evil Pikmin...Maybe not...

Mario should be good. But I am really looking forward to a new Mario Kart.

I was bored of the amazingly repetitive tasks and general gameplay by the time I'd got around 80 Shines - and I haven't played it since.

Searching for 100 normal coins on each level is fine but blue (and to some extent red) coin hunting is just the result of laziness in trying to extend the games lifespan, along with many of the other tasks that are the same on each level.

No. Not really.

I did that within 2-3 weeks of light play.

Well not quite. I'm lacking 2 shines down to blue coins, but they're so dull and tedious to get that I didn't think it worth my while to hunt down, especially as they're in such obscure places.

Peut etre.
It means perhaps.

I bet there'll be more of different colour pikmin 1stly. e.i. Purple!

I bet that Mario 128 is a puzzle game, I'm guessing :p
