Nintendo is considering making a return journey to Super Mario Galaxy, although it's unlikely to happen anytime soon, Digital Spy reports.

“A new Mario Galaxy "is always in discussion,” Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto said.

"But even with Mario 64 there was a lot of feedback about motion sickness with the 3D or maybe us making it too difficult," he continued.

"Going back to our roots and making New Super Mario Bros, anyone can play that, so that's why we went back.

"We're always thinking, is there a middle ground where people who do enjoy the 3D worlds of Galaxy and those who enjoy New Super Mario Bros can both enjoy it?” he said.

Miyamoto said that while he is always looking to challenge Galaxy and do another 3D action title, he can only do so many games at once.

"But as the hardware technology gets better and advances, I think there will be a lot of opportunity for both options," he added.

"Wii U's definitely good enough in terms of hardware performance, it is more the workload of the team. If you look at Star Fox Zero, the TV and GamePad are both rendered in 60 frames, so in total that's 120 frames. It's really just a matter of the CPU speed at this point," he noted.
