Summary

  • The first Mario game for the Switch 2 will reportedly feature levels inspired by The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
  • Brooklyn, New York was cited as an example of one such level.
  • More details about the Switch 2 launch-year game lineup are expected to arrive no later than early April 2025.

In simple terms, it’s rumored that the initial 3D “Mario” game for the future Nintendo Switch 2 console will incorporate levels inspired by “The Super Mario Bros. Movie”. This potential game might be unveiled in early April 2025 during a special Nintendo Direct event focusing on the Nintendo Switch 2.

After years of anticipation and whispers, Nintendo officially unveiled the long-awaited Switch 2 on January 16. The company’s two-minute teaser mostly showcased the design and capabilities of the forthcoming device. In terms of software, the promotional video briefly hinted at only one an as-yet-unnamed Mario Kart game. Although details about upcoming exclusive games for the console remain largely unknown, both fans and industry experts concur that a Switch 2 Mario game is imminent, given that Super Mario Odyssey has been around for eight years now.

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve just heard some buzz about an upcoming 3D Mario game from none other than Mr. Nintendad himself! The word on the street is that this new game could potentially have levels inspired by “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” with Brooklyn, New York serving as one possible setting. The details are still hazy, but considering Nintendo’s knack for creating games bursting with diverse stages, it seems likely that even if this rumor pans out, the movie-inspired elements will only make up a fraction of the next Mario adventure. Can’t wait to see what they come up with!

Next 3D Mario Game Could Arrive Before the End of 2025

There’s been a hint that the first 3D “Mario” game for the Switch 2 might come out as early as by the end of 2025, although it remains to be seen if this highly anticipated game will be included in the console’s launch titles. The last original installment from the main series, “Super Mario Odyssey,” which is exclusive to the Switch, was launched in October 2017, about seven months after the console became available for purchase.

A special Nintendo Direct centered around the Switch 2 has been set for April 2nd. While Nintendo has promised to reveal more about the Switch successor on this date, they haven’t specified whether the broadcast will focus on its features, games, or a combination of both. Given that hands-on preview events are planned globally throughout spring, it seems plausible that we might get some game announcements during the April 2nd Direct. The last confirmed pop-up event for Switch 2 is slated for early June, suggesting that the console could potentially launch anywhere between June and November 2025.
