Miyamoto On New Mario Game: "Please Stay Tuned For Future Nintendo Directs"

SUPER MARIO BROS 5 CONFIRMED

Question : What would you like to see from a new mainline Mario game?

Me : Mario Boxing / Kickboxing 🥊

I fully believe the new film is aimed at getting new people into the series just in time for a new game.... this year.

I think we could be looking at a December release.

At this point ...I'm not disappointed, I'm just mad.

Like, actually mad.

Hate and burning, furious rage is all I have left lol

One series I'd love to see come back is Mario and Luigi Bros, there was 4 games on the 3DS yet nothing on the switch. An open world one would be even better.

@Dev9417 The lack of new Mario games overall is baffling, Mario Kart 8 deluxe, 3D All Stars, 3D World, Mario Bros U deluxe and Mario Maker were all old games that were also on older consoles, even the last Mario Party was recycled boards with better graphics. Surely they haven't ran out of ideas, they have other spin offs they can do and a new 2D/2.5D game which the last one was in 2012, it's been 11 years which is crazy.

@Anti-Matter that would clearly be a spin-off game and not a mainline entry.

@UltimateOtaku91 Find it very doubtful it's ever coming back. The sales on the series just kind of got worse and worse over the years, to where by the end they were pretty actively dire, and the developer went bankrupt. There'd need to be a lot of incentive for them to have someone else make a new one and that incentive really isn't there.

Oh thank goodness I was worried Mario was forgotten forever and would never get a new game ever again

I'd love to see another game coming either late this year (assuming they've been hush hush about it since Bowser's Fury was released) or early-mid 2024 announcement and a holiday release of the same year. I still have yet to find all the Power Moons in Odyssey, since I really haven't touched that game since 2019.

@Lizuka ah I didn't know it performed that badly sales wise, such a shame. We do need a new Mario rpg though which I think the studio intelligent systems would be ideal for. They are behind fire emblem and already have experience with mario as they made some paper mario games including the last one.

Nintendo will be releasing a direct at some point this year? Miyamoto you PROPHET! I honestly didn’t see this coming

@PessitheMystic
Oh, I would like to see some Ratchet & Clank style from new 3D Mario games with weapons similar as Mario & Rabbids style.

Yeah, I'm sure they'll announce it when they're good and ready. Plenty to play in the meantime.

A whole new Mario game or odyssey 2 would be amazing!

It has been 5.5 years since Mario Odyssey was released. Time for a new one. Knowing Nintendo, it will be released on Switch 2.

People will end up jumping to conclusions that Miyamoto is hinting at some brand new 3D Mario game for the Switch when it could just be him talking about the future of the series. I'm not expecting for Nintendo to release another 3D Mario game until the next system but they'll probably continue to release more games like Mario Baseball or some 2D game for the Switch.

I love Odyssey and want an Odyssey 2 more than anything, but I also would like to see something for 2D Mario. We haven’t got a new 2D Mario game in like, 10 years, and we haven’t got an exciting one in even longer.

Bowser's Fury was short and sweet, but we're overdue a new full-fat mainline Mario title. If you count Super Mario 3D World on the Wii U as part of the main series and therefore breaking up the gap between Mario Galaxy 2 and Mario Odyssey, 6 years is the longest stretch since Mario 64 to Mario Sunshine, and that felt like forever as well.

I am pretty sure the new 3D Mario game I think there is a 3D Super Mario game that will launch with the Nintendo Switch 2.

This is how I feel when thinking about a new Mario game...

I am always ready for a new Mario game to experience with my girlfriend and my kids. We all love playing Mario games.

Would like a new Mario game similar to 3D World. Make characters like Daisy, Donkey Kong, Wario, and Waluigi playable.

@Anti-Matter mario and Luigi 6

The next direct will be pleased to announce that Super Mario Land is coming soon to NSO.

Please let it be Super Mario Galaxy 3.

I know folks are waiting for Odyssey 2 but I'm honestly more interested in a new side scroller that isn't the "New" series. While the next big budget platformer game is actually Donkey Kong hopefully.

I'm glad Nintendo will still produce Directs, it seemed like they were going to abandon the format at one point in favor of random YouTube and Twitter drops.

@UltimateOtaku91 Mario & Rabbids is a new game and so was Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart Live, The Origami King, Spark of Hope, and Bowser's Fury. Nintendo had never once remake any of the Super Mario RPG/Paper Mario games in any form.

Last Mario games overall were Mario Strikers: Battle League (first-party) on June 2022 and Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope (third-party) on October 2022. So I'm not in hurry for another Mario game.

Now, mainline Mario? I'd say we're in time to see what's up with that, unless they count Bowser's Fury as a mainline game. But overall, I'm kind of curious to see if we get Odyssey 2, much like BOTW 2, or not.

That’s………,..,, what I usually do for Nintendo announcements.

While I doubt it's as time sensitive and planned as most people think... and I wouldn't be let down if it doesn't happen yet I feel like we are about time for a new Mario game soon. Like a 2D or 3D one. Although I think they would save a new style 2D one to sell a new console

Can't wait!!! I would love a Super Mario Odyssey 2 or a 3rd New Super Mario Bros game and I am surprised Nintendo haven't released the latter after we got New Super Mario Bros and New Super Mario Bros U on Nintendo Wii and Wii U.

A Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker 2 game would be great too even though it is a spinoff game.

I just want a real sequel to Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros. 2.

2D Mario with a completely new art style please!
I keep dreaming of fluent hand-drawn 2D animation like Cuphead.

Mario Oddysey was the best Mario game I’ve ever played, even better than Galaxy, IMO. I would like a sequel to that. As for 2d mario games, I believe that’s gonna be a long way to go since Mario Maker 2 fits that niche. Or maybe they can make a Mario game based on the movie story

That’s…not really news

I’ve been enjoying the mario break myself. Let the IP breathe a little.

Confirmed: Nintendo will announce a Mario game in its announcement videos at some point

@Ryu_Niiyama Spin off Mario games I would agree with, the mainline Mario series though is as golden as Zelda and they tend to be a five year wait also

I hope it's a sequel to Odyssey.

It does feel like we're overdue for a new Mario game now, we typically don't wait 6 years for one. Wonder what's the holdup?

To me it’s not what he says but his facial expressions and mannerisms as he says it….there is definitely a new game coming this year I would say and my guess is it will also involve Luigi.

@TheBigBlue next he'll be telling us he has insider sources.

With Peach's role in the film and the ending of Odyessy A DLC/Standalone Peach spin-off or making her playable in a sequel makes a lot of sense.

@Serpenterror Mario Kart Live is a mobile game, and the two Mario Rabbids games were made by Ubisoft not Nintendo. Origami King and Odyssey are the only brand new Mario games (apart from sports ones) that weve had in 5 years.

Doesn't mean the next 3D Mario is being announced in the next Direct for this year

Where can Mario go now after the monumental Odyssey? For me, I would welcome a massive open world sandbox style game. Imagine a GTA style game whereby you can deviate from the main story to partake in some Karting, a spot of golf, or maybe prescribing some meds.

If nothing next, at least give us Galaxy 2 this year....I never played it before, would love to try it given its reputation and how much I enjoyed Galaxy 1

You mean...gasp...Nintendo's most popular and well known series isn't dead and they're still making games. Wow! Who could've guessed?

Honestly feels great finally owning all the main Mario games after the latest MAR10 Day sale. 3D World, Odyssey, MK8D, and 3D All-Stars. Now I just need Galaxy 2 on Switch.

@Vil I have fury

Lol this is what they always say. That said it’s already been almost 7 yrs since odyssey, which is a pretty long time. I bet new Mario launches with next console

Please let it be Odyssey 2! After Mario Sunshine we had to wait for so long for it so that can't be the only open world Mario game.

Give us a hint at least, you evil genius!
