Wii U final format at E3, new 2D side-scrolling Mario for 3DS

More news from the Nintendo investor meeting!

"We are planning to showcase the final format and discuss the details at E3 2012, which will be held in Los Angeles in the United States in June this year," said Iwata.

It looks like the Wii U might be different by the time E3 rolls around. And if your wondering when the Wii U might launch?

"Today, I’d like to confirm that we will launch the Wii U in Japan, the U.S., Europe and Australia in time for the year-end sales season."

He also announced a new Mario game.

"Although there is no logo here, we are planning to release a totally new side-scrolling action Super Mario in 2D as a key title for the Nintendo 3DS in the next fiscal year."

So a new 2D Mario game coming to the 3DS, I wonder if it will be like New Super Mario Bros or maybe a cartoon style like Wario Land: Shake It.
