I hope this isn't the new Mario game we were teased about earlier this year because if it is it would have crushed my hopes and dreams that we'll be getting a REAL Mario game on the Wii U anytime soon, and possibly ever.

Why would it crush your dreams?
That note you linked just mentions that the wii U gamepad will get more use.

It doesn't say it would have been the next big mario game, which im sure is yet to come

You know, CT:TT could just be an experiment.

Well, it's been too long since we had a big new Mario game, and that was Galaxy in 2007. While Galaxy 2 is fantastic and possibly even better than the original it was just a sequel so it wasn't as big a step as 64, Sunshine or Galaxy 1 were.

I just keep getting my hopes up for a big new Mario game every time Nintendo says a new one's coming and proceed to be disappointed. Super Mario 3D Land had a fun first-playthrough but it lacked the complexity of the other 3D Mario's which I enjoy.

In 2012 we were promised new Mario game for Wii U and it ended up being another 2D NSMB game, and at this point they're basically all the same thing bar a few new powerups and a new set of levels.

In 2013 we were promised a new 3D Mario game but it was just a sequel to 3D Land, which was unwelcome from me as it took the same simple, dim gameplay from a game designed for a handheld on a console that deserves better.

If you don't see what I mean, read this.

In this Mario game, inspiration is taken from the Mario games of the old NES/SNES days. It brings back the old power-up system; get a Mushroom to become Super Mario, and a secondary item to receive an extra ability, getting damaged will revert you to a previous form or, if you're regular Mario, you'll lose a life. But wait! They've added a new secondary item to this game, and with it you have new ways to get to places you couldn't if you didn't have that item. For every level you have to follow the pathway, jumping on enemies heads in order to defeat them, there's three collectable items in each level which are often hidden. Finding them will allow you to unlock secret levels and if you collect every single one in the game you'll be greeted with a brief fanfare and some stars on your profile. Your goal is to reach the flagpole at the end of the level, each level is packed with coins and different kinds of blocks. There's a bunch of levels in each world. You'll go from world to world completing levels to advance to the next, and there's a range of themes such as grassy, underground, fortresses, castles, haunted houses, underwater and more! Each levels is designed with a rather blocky visuals. Aside from the occasional slope or curved surface, everything is square-like, much akin to the limitations of the obsolete NES/SNES technology, but in this case, as this is a game built on nostalgia we pass it off as an homage and a novelty. You only have two major buttons to focus on: an action button and a jump button, and that's all you'll need to get through the game. You can also perform wall jumps between narrow walls and ground pounds to break things beneath you. Expect to find rather easy bosses, all of which are defeatable by jumping on their heads three times! Well, not exactly as Bowser is a little different. You won't actually fight him, but you have to get past him and avoid him, much like you do in Super Mario Bros. 1! By the way, there's a hell of a twist in the final boss fight. Just when you think you've beaten the game, you'll find out that you're not quite there yet, because as it turns out, there's a whole extra part of the last world that was hidden from view this whole time! A princess has been kidnapped, and it's up to you to save the her from here!

This description fits 6 "different" Mario games from the last ten years alone.

I'm glad that they're doing something with Captain Toad, but it's not all that much a big title.
