It’s about time for a new Mario adventure.
Today there are very few characters within the video game industry with whom the knowledge that a person has of it does not matter, since if you show them a photo, most will recognize Mariosince, after all, we are talking about the greatest icon that this industry has given us and the one that, in a certain sense, caused the enormous success that it has in modern times.
And it is not for less, since the plumber was and is the protagonist of great video games that have managed to dazzle millions around the world, giving rise to the fact that it is not uncommon to ask any player or even a developer about their first video game and for them to say that it was one of Mario. And as a result of this same affection for the franchise, we can see that the expectation with the trailers of the Super Mario Bros. movie is causing a lot of movement on social networks.
Mario hasn’t had an all-new game since Super Mario Odyssey back in 2017.
Now, focusing on video games and leaving aside everything related to the Super Mario Bros. movie and its hidden details, it should be noted that Mario has not released his own video game for a while now, so that We haven’t had anything totally new since Super Mario Odyssey.while if we count the Wii U ports, the most recent was Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury released in February 2021. Too long for Mario to be absent.
Under this same premise, now there are rumors about the development of a new 2D Super Mario gamewhich would be being made for Nintendo Switch and would have the possibility of playing with four players at the same time, so this could be a heir to New Super Mario Bros Deluxea title launched a few years ago on the hybrid console.
In any case, you have to take this information with a grain of salt, since all this information regarding a new Super Mario game comes from Zippo, an insider who fails more than a fair shotgunso his words should not be taken very seriously just in case.
Mario, Peach, Luigi and Toad would be playable characters in this game that would arrive in 2023 or 2024
New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe combined the two 2D Wii U titles
Be that as it may, and knowing this, it must be said that Zippo has shared information about the game on his blog, stating that would star Mario, Luigi, Peach and Toad as playable characters, which would drink directly from what was seen in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury. He also claims that the title it would be about to finish its development and that the fact of being 2D would mean that it is the first time that we would control Peach in this variant of the saga since Super Mario Bros. 2 for the NES, although without counting Peachette’s transformation.
As for its arrival in stores, the title supposedly would be released in 2023 or 2024 for Nintendo Switch, which could be equivalent to the video game being announced in a future Nintendo Direct, either the one at the beginning of next year or the one that would take place at E3 during the month of June. However, knowing that Nintendo Switch is living its last years of life, it will be necessary to see if the project does not end up passing to a successor in case it arrives in 2024.
Be that as it may, we will continue to wait to learn more about this supposed Mario title, especially since Zippo went so far as to say that Mario Kart 9 was about to launch, being so that this is still as far from arriving as the day in which he affirmed it. We will have to be patient, although that does not mean that it would not be surprising that Nintendo wants to release a Mario around the movie’s premiere in order to take advantage of its commercial pull.
