'Super Mario Galaxy 3' release date: Game remains a possibility for Nintendo

"Super Mario Galaxy 3" reportedly remains a possibility for Nintendo, but how probable that it actually gets made and how soon are open questions.
In an interview with Eurogamer, Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto indicated that there is indeed interest in making a third installment of "Super Mario Galaxy," although he also implied that aiming to release one relatively soon would not be ideal given the recent batch of titles that have come out from the company.
With titles such as "Super Mario 3D Land" and "Super Mario 3D World" coming out relatively recently, there appears to be some apprehension on the part of Miyamoto and Nintendo that fans may be exhausted from the 3D environments found within those games. Despite the similar environments, those games are fundamentally different from "Super Mario Galaxy," if only for their lack of the free-roam stages that players have been known to enjoy.
However, even if "Super Mario Galaxy 3" can be considered to be a game of different substance, thus removing the risk of saturating the current gaming landscape, there is apparently another blockade to making it that Miyamoto alluded to in the interview.
Although Miyamoto did not exactly say that the lack of better technology is hindering the development of "Super Mario Galaxy 3," he did say that the presence of more advanced options could compel the company to look further into releasing the game along with other 2D titles from the "Super Mario" franchise.
With technological considerations possibly factoring into the development of "Super Mario Galaxy 3," then there is a distinct possibility that the game may eventually be announced only after the release of Nintendo's new console. 
If Nintendo is indeed waiting on the release of the new console to announce the next "Super Mario Galaxy" game, then they could choose to release a new "Super Mario 3D World" title in the meantime, as Miyamoto already appears to be leaning toward that, according to iDigital Times.
Fans will simply have to wait for more announcements from Nintendo to see when the next "Super Mario Galaxy" game might come out.

The branding gurus are really earning their wages down Redmond way Outlook for the Web's new weather-enabled calendar app 14 5 Aug 2015 at 02:58,  Simon Sharwood Fresh from showing glimpses of the next-generation Outlook Web Access client in a preview of Exchange Server 2016 , Microsoft has now detailed just how the new version of the browser-bound Outlook will work. There's a new name for starters: “Outlook Web Access” is now “Outlook on the web”. Those marketers sure are earning their wage! Microsoft saying all the usual stuff about the revision making you more productive. The feature touted as making the greatest contribution to that cause is the new “Action toolbar” that “provides quick access to the most common commands, whether you are clearing out your inbox, replying to an email, or adding an event to your calendar.” One of the things you'll see on the toolbar, depicted below, is the “Sweep” command. That's come from Outlook.com and “provides a simple set of act...

Microsoft upgrades its Surface tablets to Windows 10

By
Consumers interested in buying one of Microsoft's Surface tablets will now find it with Windows 10 preinstalled. Microsoft's  online page  for its lower-cost Surface lineup shows that the tablet now comes with Windows 10 Home edition. The page for the pricier and beefier Surface Pro 3  indicates that they're outfitted with Windows 10 Pro edition. Microsoft has been on a tear to push out Windows 10, partly to make up for the poor response to Windows 8 and partly to get as many Windows users as possible all on the same platform. The company has been offering Windows 10 as a free upgrade to Windows 7 and 8.1 users for the first year. Last Thursday, Microsoft announced that the new OS was  running on 14 million devices  since its official launch the previous day. Now the challenge is to get PC and tablet makers to outfit their new devices with Windows 10. Microsoft certainly would want to lead the way, so it's natural for its own Surface tablets to now be sporting W...
