Miyamoto: We want to release Mario 3DS this year

There's a distinct lack of Mario on the Nintendo 3DS at the moment.

The plumber is definitely coming at some point, as confirmed by Satoru Iwata at GDC earlier this year, but we're yet to have any confirmation regarding a date.

Now the legendary Shigeru Miyamoto has given us hope that we may in fact see the latest Mario game later this year.

In an interview with French games site Gameblog, Miyamoto said, "I promise to do everything to deliver your new Mario this year!"

Nintendo has already said that more details will be revealed at E3 in June. Could the game be closer to completion than was first thought?
