New 2D Super Mario coming to 3DS

In a meeting with investors today, Nintendo CEO and president Satoru Iwata announced that the company intends to put out a new 2D Super Mario title for 3DS some time between March 2012 - March 2013 (I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s toward the end of the period).
His exact statement:
“We are planning to release a totally new side-scrolling action Super Mario in 2D as a key title for the Nintendo 3DS in the next fiscal year.”
He did not provide any additional details or media beyond that, so it’s up to you to speculate on what this will be. Finally a sequel to Super Mario Bros. 2 (US)? Or could it be a continuation of the New Super Mario Bros. line? Whatever it is, my body is Reggie.
