We have been since 2017 without a brand new plumber title.
Today, April 5, is a very special day for Nintendo fans in general and Mario in particular, since, after years of waiting, today is the premiere of Super Mario Bros. The Moviea film created and produced by Illumination, those responsible for sagas such as Minions and Gru, and which has as its non-direct objective redeem the plumber after the disaster of the 90s with the live-action movie that was released around that time in theaters.
Now, it must be said that this film is giving its main managers a lot to talk about, while, as is obvious, Shigeru Miyamoto and Chris Meledandri, producers of the film, are in full promotion of it, which is why which have been giving various interviews to various media. And it seems that among these there was the occasional fan of video games, since when they asked Miyamoto about developing new Mario gameshe gave an answer that could give us a preview of what is to come.
The next Super Mario game would be revealed in an upcoming Nintendo Direct
Being information that comes to us directly from Variety, it should be noted that the journalist from this outlet who interviewed Miyamoto directly asked When will the next Mario game be released?, emphasizing the fact that Nintendo has just opened the Super Nintendo World theme park in Hollywood at the same time that they have released the aforementioned film. And while it must be said that anyone could have expected Miyamoto to delay him, the reality is that Miyamoto has given a preview of what is to come.
And it is that between laughs, the Japanese creative pointed out that all i could say is to stay tuned for future nintendo directs, further adding that by celebrating these events every two or three months, we can expect something good. And the most surprising thing about this comes in fact from how strange it is for Miyamoto to release something like this, since the Japanese company is characterized by have absolute secrecy in everything related to its internal developments, especially if these have not yet been announced. You can take a look at the full interview below:
A Mario title that would have already been hinted at in the past
Given this premise, it must be said that it would not be the first time we have heard something like this, since Nintendo would have already hinted at the development of the sequel to Super Mario Odyssey in the past, although all this must be caught with tweezers and not go beyond the category of mere rumor, since we cannot forget that Miyamoto said almost ten years ago that Pikmin 4 was almost finished, being a game that will be released this summer.
In any case, it should be noted that a Mario game would quite fit into the current scenario, since, on the one hand, the effect of the film could be used to make this promote the plumber video gameat the same time that the absence of a Pokémon title at the end of this year makes it necessary for Nintendo to go with some megaton to the Christmas period to help continue boosting sales of Nintendo Switch.
On the other hand, if it were real, there would be no doubt that Nintendo Switch has bellows for a whilesince at the beginning of the year many rumors indicated that Zelda Tears of the Kingdom would be the last great title of the console, this being something that does not make much logic if we take into account that Pikmin 4 and Metroid Prime 4 are announced.
In any case, it only remains to remember that The Super Mario Bros. movie is out today.thus giving rise to the fact that if you are going to see it you must remember that once it is over, do not get up from your seat, since it has a post-credit scene.
