Voice of Mario hints at new game, not Galaxy or NSMB

Charles Martinet, the voice of Mario, revealed a new Mario game that isn't Super Mario Galaxy 2 or New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

In what may be another case of an overzealous voice actor leaking an unannounced video game via Twitter, Charles Martinet, best known for voicing Mario, Luigi, and a cavalcade of other Nintendo characters, seemingly revealed a new, unannounced Mario game earlier today when he sent this message to his followers:
Awesome new Mario Game! And it's not NSMB Wii, and it's not Galaxy 2, but it's going to be crazy fun!
On October 12, Martinet posted a message that seems to indicate that he's already recorded the dialogue for the new game, when he posted this message, stating:
Big day tomorrow! Seattle for a new Mario game! Yippee!!! And just as a joke, it's going to rain....in San Francisco tomorrow!
Martinet has voiced Mario in every game in which the character has spoken since Super Mario 64, which means that this game could be anything from a new Mario Party game to another sports spin-off.
UPDATE:
Nintendo has replied to the leak with the following comment:"We're always working on new games and experiences, but we have nothing to announce at this time."
Thanks to Jay Lopez for the tip!

"It's going to be crazy fun," huh? That must mean it's not a new Mario Sluggers. OH SICK BURN.

With Super Mario Galaxy 2 being so recent, I think it's safe to assume it's not another Super Mario game. Beyond that, it could be anything. I don't think it would be another sports game, since Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games just came out. NSMB Wii is also new, so another game in that vain doesn't seem likely. Mario and Luigi Bowser's inside story also just came out, so I don't think a game like that would happen so soon. It's been a few years since Mario Party 8, so MP 9 is my guess.

My guess would be a Wii Mario vs. Donkey Kong with user made content or Mario Party but it could be a sports title because Mario & Sonic is actually a Sega game. . . not Nintendo.

If its another actual mario platforming game, it will be for DS, but most likely it will be another spin off. Mario Party games used to come out every year so it could be another on of those.

I can only hope for another super smash bros. game!! But that will never happen.
If it's another mario party it better be fun for longer than a day! I loved the first three and played those ALL THE TIME pretty much! But 4 to 8 were so lame! 8 added slightly more interesting boards and wiimote support. I would love a new mario party especially because it's been longer than 1 year, but it needs to actually be fun. The minigames have gone so far downhill.
And please no more sports games. They are all pretty much the same, and pretty boring. Mario kart 64 was awesome though!
