The director behind Super Mario 3D Land has revealed that there are no plans to bring Super Mario Galaxy to the 3DS. There had been some rumours that a port might be in the works, but that has now been officially been dispelled.
“When we started developing the game, we displayed Super Mario Galaxy 2 on a small TV monitor and found that Mario looked like a speck and that the game was difficult to play,” the director said of the situation.
"This led us to look into the camera and terrain types that would be conducive to playing on a portable screen with a relatively large Mario. If we were making a console game, from the very start, we wouldn't have been thinking about any of those things, and I think the game would have probably been a lot different.”
