So their excuse not to do it was because they put a console game on a small screen and didn't like it?
Ugh...Mario Galaxy can easily work on the 3DS. The levels don't even have to change much, I mean Animal Crossing has a roundness to it. Is THAT hard?

Maybe if they'd put a better resolution screen on the 3ds, it cost more than an iphone but has a screen from 1996?
HUFF. Well, if I was doing videogames, I'd do things better than the people who are currently doing videogames. JUST SAYIN'.
@Hardy
Animal crossings roundness doesn't affect gameplay tho, there's no platforming nor enemies that you can take cheap shots from off screen. Unless they introduce some new mechanic where u bump into villagers and are forced to listen to their daily squabbles and activities.

Note that they never claimed to be developing a port of Mario Galaxy 2. They played Galaxy 2 on a small screen to test how that style of game might look on a small screen while developing 3D Land.
Just saying, before you all get riled up about Nintendo "ditching plans" again.

Anyone with a 3DS:

Download the Mario Galaxy pack and be saddened of what could've been.

@Mrio Azevedo, you took a screenshot for a zoomed area. I think he referred to the parts where the camera zooms out on Mario and shows large sections of the planet.
That's an awesome level of development imagination, actually trying shit to see if it works without jepordising the entire project.
If they can make Super Mario Galaxy work on a 3DS, fantastic. Otherwise, I'd rather they put the money and effort into an original Mario game. I 242 Star'd SMG2, I don't feel like I have to do it again in 3D.
A speck? I'm not an english speaker so I Google'd speck and found... Pics of different kind of meats.
Like the kind of meat that reggie would have.

As a fan of Galaxy 2 and Mario 3D Land...
Huh?
Mario 3D was perfectly fine on that "small" screen, even on the parts that the screen would pan way above you as you were dropping with the heli-box. I get that they're two different games, and Galaxy 2 had some wide pan areas, but that sounds like a very weird excuse - Nintendo is a master of cameras and could make it work.

In addition to visibility problems, the control scheme of the Galaxy games would be tough to translate well to the 3DS's set of inputs, especially the IR pointer-based mechanics. Not to mention, the platformers' high-polygon environments (how else would they be so round?) and crisp textures are better suited to Wii than 3DS.
Super Mario 3D Land is amazing. They could make a "new" Galaxy style game on the 3DS adapted to the hardware if they wanted. Either way.....I'd rather them finish up Paper Mario and Luigi's Mansion 2 ASAP.
As a 3DS fan, I get this. The Galaxy games featured Space, which as we know, is Big. The game simply works better on a big screen, much like Tetris or Pokemon works better on a small one.
Ironic considering the original Super Mario Land had a speck for a Mario. It was like playing a Mario game as the son of the cube from Adventure. I loved every minute of it.
Hey,my people are not that small,why did they have go and...wait,they said "speck"....
Carry on then...
Carry on then...
@Jimmy:
While this might be true, I sincerely hope they develop another Mario game for 3DS.
For the DS, they only made one original Mario game (New SMB).
I hope they don't just rest on their laurels and just put out SM3DLand, I'm already almost 100% complete (just need to finish the last Special world on world S-8 and get about 6 more coins total - and damn, some of those coins are a bitch to get). It would be nice to see more than one Mario game (not including all the BS games like mario and sonic at the olympics, etc.)
They made several Mario lands on the original Gameboy and Gameboy Advance, I wonder why they did'nt do the same with the DS? Hopefully they will make sequels or something else in addition to Super Mario 3D land on 3DS... (especially since you apparently "disliked" Mario Kart 7, LOL).

@brainwasherattendant:
I'm looking forward to luigis mansion 2, although I played the first game last night (on my bc wii) and it has not aged well..... I'm faithful that the Big N will make the sequel an alltogether "better" game.

What a shame... a portable, waggle free, Mario Galaxy in 3D sounds awesome.
Maybe they did want to make it, but are just afraid of the review score you might give it. Thanks a lot for doing your job Jim Sterling, you've ruined Nintendo! ;)

Nintendo: "We've been making mario games for decades, guys. This wouldn't be a good idea."
Gamers: "FUCK U YES IT WOULD U SUCK LOLOL"
Awesome.

I'm cool with not having a "Galaxy" game on the 3DS. Super Mario 3D Land is a near perfect portable platformer.
That sounds like an incredibly retarded prototyping method. Of course it couldn't be a carbon copy and still work on a handheld, but that one thing doesn't render the core gameplay impossible.
It's just as well though, since new games are always preferable to ports.

... There's more than just the star coins to get, you'll get the real final level by passing each level with Mario, Luigi AND a gold flag.

I kinda call BS. The main problem with porting it over -I believe- would be that Nintendo doesn't want to mess with the scaling or where the camera sits on the screen. They'd have to change all that and it'd be an issue.
Personally I don't see the difference between porting this and their porting Mario 64 for the lesser DS when it was first launched but its not a big deal, Mario 3D looks great and probably plays great, and it Galaxy 2 would have been a possible groan for anyone whos already played it(possibly multiple times) already. But I'm suspecting this was just Nintendo wanting to do a quick thing and it turning out to have been more work then they wanted.

Now Galaxy would be a game I would absolutely love to try in 3D. Would probably work a lot better on a 3D TV but still, having all those planet and stars pop out at you... incredible.
Everyone seems to be reporting this as they were looking to port it to 3DS, i don't read that at all.
It sounds like they used it in the development of 3D land to get a feel for a 3D mario on a portable

If they ever did have it running on the 3DS, the biggest reason for not having it on there (other than having to retinker the camera control) is that they just released 2 port-remakes a little bit ago. Also, Mario is intended to be a system seller. Even though I like SMG 2 more than 3D Land, I would rather the 3DS get 3D Land because I already have SMG 2
@Mad Doctor: Is an iPhone cheaper then the 3DS in America? It certainly isn't here, even with a contract.
So Nintendo failed to publish a copy of a game that's a copy of a game? Dodged a bullet here, didn't we?
