hmmm....
maybe we should think of the possibilities of a new mario game by making categories?
spin-offs-games like mario kart, strikers, golf, tennis, etc.
RPGs- 6 so far, SMRPG, the M&L series and the PM series
platformers- the original SMB series, plus SMW, SMW:YI, their remakes, and NSMB
3D main series- only 3, plus a remake: SM64, sunshine and galaxy, plus SM64DS
miscellaneous- those obscure games like hotel mario and mario is missing
oh yes, and there is also luigi's mansion and the rest of the yoshi series.
so by looking here, and ignoring the obscure miscellaneous games, we can say...there might be 4 big games coming up, but not at the same time of course.
a new spin-off always comes out quickly...
but the rest? galaxy just came out, so i don't think a new 3D main series game needs to come out yet...
the RPGs are great, all 6 of them, and i know that SMRPG is so far the only main game so far that can only e played on the SNES (and the wii of course through virtual console)
so a remake would be great, since it would bring the game's attention to a new generation of people and being a great game, it would help a lot.
also, a M&L sequel would be good too. superstar saga and partners in time are considered some of the best mario games, ye not so many people play them anymore...instead sticking to paper mario, possibly because SPM just came out recently. an upcoming seuel would help revive the series's fame.
PM doesn't need a 4th sequel so soon...so i doubt anything will come out, except maybe a remake of PM...
and the main platformers? those need to be remade once again for the DS and maybe a new one should come as well. why?
well those games are the should of the mario series. yet there seems to be more spin-offs than main series games!
remakes of the SMA series would be great for the DS. plus a remake of SMB and SMB:TLL to finish it all. imagine, SMB, SMB:TLL, SMB2, SMB3, SMW, SMW2:YI and NSMB all available for the DS as remakes! (except NSMB which is new)
it would bring all the main games to the DS and boost the mario series fame more.
so that is what i'm expecting and hoping. most of it are remakes...but a new RPG and maybe a new platformer would be nice too.
