In a interview with Wired, Yoshiaki Koizuma confirmed that the next big Mario game is already in the works. He gave no details as to what the next title will be, only that they are using the Wii U’s shiny new hardware. “We’re always asking ourselves questions like this as we’re researching new games, about the opportunities presented by the hardware,” he said.

Here’s what Koizuma say about the Wii U’s two screens:

When I think about the two screens being used at the same time, it seems like an interesting opportunity to allow us to create a console game where two people are playing at the same time but can’t see each others’ screens,” he said. “It’s certainly an interesting approach, but I have to clarify that it’s not something that we’re working on just yet.
