Nintendo just opened its Mario-themed theme park, Super Nintendo World in Hollywood, and soon Super Mario will be getting its own animation on the big screen – so when can we expect to see the next major video game entry?
In an interview with IGN, Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto mentioned how even though Nintendo doesn’t have anything to share at the moment, that doesn’t mean they aren’t working on anything. In fact, Nintendo is “always” working on Mario, they’re not ready to pull back the curtain:
“We’re always working on Mario, so when we get to a time when we can share information, we will definitely do that.”
The latest huge release was Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury. The first game in this title was a re-release of the 2013 Wii U title and the sequel was an all-new bonus experience that gave Mario and Bowser Jr. a short but fun new adventure to work through.
The recent anniversary in 2020 also saw the release of the Super Mario 3D All-Stars Collection – a “limited time” offering containing three classic Mario games from the 3D era. Before that, the last major title was Super Mario Odyssey in 2017.
