Nintendo on new Mario game for Switch 2: “Stay tuned”
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Nintendo announced its first batch of games for Switch 2 recently, but Mario was missing in action – aside from Mario Kart. Some were surprised that the company did not show off a brand new 3D entry in the franchise. Outside of the bite-sized Bowser’s Fury adventure as part of the Super Mario 3D World re-release, there hasn’t been a new game since Super Mario Odyssey in 2017.
So where is Mario then? CNET posed that question to Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser in a recent interview. Bowser would only shared the following:

Potential storylines for the The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo | 0 comments
The Super Mario Bros. Movie is almost two years old already. When it first released in April 2023, it was received fairly well as far as video game movies go – and it became one of the most successful animated movies of all time. That said, one of its shortcomings was its story. It moved quite fast, separated Mario and Luigi at the start, and overall didn’t feature a ton of character depth or development. That’s fairly typical for the first movie in a series, though.
Indeed, we’ve received confirmation that there is a second movie “based on the world of Super Mario Bros.” in development. There’s no word on exactly what it will be. It’s probably safe to assume that it will simply be The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2, but there’s a chance it could be based around Donkey Kong or possibly someone else. So today, we’re discussing some potential plot point ideas for the next Mario movie, which we may even see for Mario Day this year. In order to best predict potential storylines for the next movie, we do have to spoil many elements of the first film – so keep that in mind before you continue reading.

Five features we’d like to see in the next Super Mario game
Posted on 4 months ago by Dawn in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Nintendo has confirmed that we’ll be hearing more about the Nintendo Switch successor within the fiscal year, but said nothing about the launch titles for their upcoming new system. It is safe to say that we’ll be getting a new 3D Mario game at some point, although whether it’ll be a Super Mario Odyssey 2 or something entirely new is anyone’s guess. However, we have some ideas about potential new features that could be in the game – which you can check out below.
Looking at the best partners across the Mario franchise
Posted on 8 months ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo | 0 comments
Today, we’re looking at all of Mario’s partners – not just from the Paper Mario series, but from almost every game in the entire franchise.
Over the years, Mario has been accompanied by many different partners – some of whom haven’t appeared since their initial debut. At the time of writing, the greater Mario franchise is in something of a transitional period. We do have Mario & Luigi: Brothership coming up, but beyond that everything is presumably being saved for Nintendo’s next console. That means it’s as good a time as any to review all of Mario’s partners and ask: which is your favorite?
