Nintendo Tells Fans To “Stay Tuned” For Next 3D Mario Game On Switch 2

In contrast to past introductions of Nintendo gaming consoles, the upcoming Switch 2 appears to be launching with a relatively limited number of first-party games. Contrary to anticipation, no new 3D Mario game was unveiled during the significant April Nintendo Direct. Instead, Mario will make his debut in the Switch 2 era by appearing in Mario Kart World. Fans are left wondering when they’ll see Mario back in action again. Nintendo has yet to reveal specific details about their iconic character’s future, but they hint that news is forthcoming.

Doug Bowser, President of Nintendo of America, hinted to CNN, “Keep an eye out, as there’s plenty more to come from our extensive library of games and characters.

Although Bowser’s short reply may suggest a future event, it remains uncertain how long we might anticipate a fresh Mario 3D game. It’s been eight years since Super Mario Odyssey graced the Switch, and during that time, Mario has appeared in remastered versions of Wii U favorites, spin-offs, reboots, and the successful Super Mario Bros. Wonder 2.5D platformer game.

Apart from Mario Kart World, Nintendo boasts a lineup of exclusive titles for the anticipated Switch 2, such as Donkey Kong Bananza on July 17th and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond towards the end of this year. Additionally, Drag x Drive, Kirby Air Riders, and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment are slated for release in 2025. Furthermore, many existing Switch games will receive upgrades specifically for the Switch 2.

The pre-sales for the Nintendo Switch 2 kick off in the US on April 24th, but don’t worry about an increased cost for the console itself. However, be prepared to spend a bit more on its authentic accessories.
