Nintendo Direct For The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Announced

So a final trailer. I don’t know why they keep insisting these are Directs.

Every single Direct type so far this year but the one that we actually want.... Partner, Indie, Pokemon, Movie... Meanwhile Zelda 40th nor a proper first party Direct are nowhere to be seen

There will be no mention of games in this Direct.

Let me guess...No mention of games? And weirdly enough, why not wait one day? Mar10 Day is literally the next day lol.

Edit: Okay, so it will be Tuesday in some parts of the world...but why not delay it a bit so this is true for more regions?

Cue to Nintendo YouTubers click bait farming this "Direct";
"WiLL nInTenDo fInAlLy aNnoUncE the nEw mArIo 3D gAmE dUrInG tHis dIrEct? 🤯"

Knowing full well that that's not gonna happen. But hey, time to cash in right. And let's not forget to throw the word "leaks" in there somewhere, or maybe cite a random reddit account that said something.

Wario Wario Wario Wario Wario Wario Wario

@Fizza It would be on MAR10 Day in some countries, including Japan, the home of the creators of Mario.

2 movie Directs before a proper Direct 😭

It’s the great Wart! Never thought he would come back in a movie, let alone a game. His return is almost as impressive as King K. Rool’s. Almost.

No Wario, however. Of course Bowser’s not taking a backseat to his son’s schemes. That poster is gorgeous though.

@SpiderSquid Except that Mar10 is a very American way of writing the date.

They really will do anything but make a first party direct

This is the most they’ve ever teased a real Nintendo direct

Unbelievable...

Who needs this for a movie!? Modern marketing is insufferable

Hopefully this one doesn't spoil anything.

>Yet another trailer that will just spoil the rest of the movie like every other Illuminattion film

Pass

>Wart in 4K

REAL!

From "When is next Nintendo Direct?" to "Really? Another one?"

I'm going to watch it because I know I'll be spoiled by it on social media anyway but I admittedly don't like how they're spoiling so much ahead of the movie again. Oh well. Should still be a good show! Need more Yoshi footage.

Surely there's a proper direct incoming, with no Pokémon games coming later this year then surely they've got some other heavy hitter to reveal. Still no dates for Splatoon Raiders or the new Fire Emblem as well.

Not sure why some people are so frazzled about this. The first movie is literally one of the highest-grossing animated films of all time, grossing $1.3 billion. It even beat the first Frozen. Using a Direct as brand power is a smart move, especially since nobody is forcing you to watch it.

I’m selling my Switch 2 if they don’t announce any games on this movie direct!

I'll watch it live if I have a moment when it happens. I don't think I'm busy at the usual Direct time, so yay for me.

The absolute reaching some people are doing to complain about this is legendary haha

Looking forward to this! Something that I can watch with my daughter, who cant wait to see the next Mario movie.

They’re doing anything but a regular direct at this point (I’m not disappointed by this, just confused why we haven’t got many game announcements yet this year)

Again? Why? It will ruin the movie with everything revealed

@Diowine Is there a Link equivalent to the "Sad Mario" crappost?

@Dman10 Worse is the people plastering those spoilers everywhere that's connected to internet so I REALLY can't escape them! Not to mention Nintendo themselves that insist that I see every surprise and then go for the....plot? Or something. Which will be written on a post it because Miyamoto is still sticking his thumb in there somewhere!

Are you guys actually complaining about spoilers from a trailer for a freaking Mario movie??

Question: how likely is it that they have the Movie Direct on Monday/Tuesday so they can announce a General Direct at the end of it for Wednesday/Thursday?

Yes I'm on copium.

@abbyhitter like there's anything of narrative substance to spoil

This is hilarious.😆

Each of these trailers has focused on a single new character, so this one will probably be a Wario feature.

Come on Nintendo you are worse of all the companies right now not showing us what games you have for the second half of 2026.

Hopefully the big AAA in house studios games.
Even Sony and even even Xbox have managed this.

Very poor show and PR, you making things look boring from your studios.

I need dust my switch 2 off, so give me some in house goodness to play.
Also I’m sure apart from Japan you want to get those console sales up in EUROPE and USA.
Without Japan they are a bit low.

The internet's reaction is beyond predictable. I figured we wouldn't get much more than this on or around Mar10 Day and it appears I was right. If I'm wrong and they post a Direct on the actual date, you're welcome. Lol

I usually avoid trailers. I like to be surprised at movies. I can genuinely tell the entire story from most of them, especially modern trailers.

I'm kind of surprised it wasn't a MAR10 Day video more like 2024 considering Yoshi doesn't have a release date yet but there's still plenty of time to announce Yoshi's release date at another time.

Nintendo embargoes reviewers from spoiling their games, but has no problem showing large swaths of its movies before release.

How many new looks do we need? It's not like the first one had a great story to begin with. If they want to tell me they've ditched the pop music soundtrack this time around, great, but otherwise, let the movie have some surprises.

I'm so glad Nintendo is focused on Mario movies instead of Mario games. We definitely need more entertainment companies making movies because we don't have enough of those.

@PepperMintRex Well, because they are hosting a presentation of the trailers. I'm sure they'll say some words and mention some other things. I bet they'll inform us that the first movie is making its TV premiere for MAR10, so we can catch up before Galaxy.
But I get what you're saying. It makes it seem like we should have similar expectations to their big game showcases.

@KevinP They're obviously done with Mario games now. How do you release a console for nearly a whole year and not even mention one?!?!?!?! We only get Mario movies from here on out. Zelda's next. And tickets will be $80.

@OldGamer999 Nintendo never reads the comments here.

Nintendo...... just add this onto another direct.... Nobody asks for these

@WiltonRoots
You are totally correct and it shows 😂

Good lord guys it's just a presentation!

Nice to see Wart come out of his seemingly eternal slumber.

I don't think there's going to be 3d mario this year. (as much as I want it)

Fans: We want a Nintendo Direct!
Nintendo: We have Nintendo Directs at home.
Nintendo Direct at home:

I could have said this on like 4 separate occasions this year and it would be valid.

@Diowine Incredible, it feels like they are making up new types of Direct only to avoid the proper one.

That said, I have no problem with the new movie receiving trailers, that's completely expected and necessary. It's just... whenever one you don't care for is announced, you know the real Direct is moving another few weeks into the future

@KayFiOS Except a teaser for Galaxy 3.

Please look forward to it.

@IOI 3

How about games? The thing we like Nintendo for.

WART AND MOUSER ARE IN IT!!!! 😁

Darn, that makes the Mario Day Direct I was hoping for a lot less likely. Guess we'll have to wait a bit longer to see the rest of this year's lineup.

@Mana_Knight "Our deaths were, greatly exaggerated"

First speaking appearance since Super Mario Advance for the two. First FULL sentences of Mouser since Super Show back in '89, first FULL sentences of Wart... at least in English.

...Nintendo is trolling us at this point.

The only thing I’m bummed/confused by is that this likely means there won’t be another Mario day presentation

@PepperMintRex In what way does it bother you. People really spend their lives complaining on the internet these days eh.

They gonna show the whole damn movie? Good grief

Really don't know if I want to watch whatever they show. They've been posting SO many clips lately I swore I would stop watching them because they seemed to be showing far too much of the movie off. I want at least some things left to be a surprise instead of seeing almost all of it beforehand. Rest of you enjoy tho

Great, by the time the film comes out I feel I will have seen it!

it's like they forgot how to make games

@jake1421
They literally released a game yesterday and are coming out with another next month

I think the latest a first direct of the year from Nintendo was March 27 last year. So maybe this year it will be as late again?

@Lord Excluding 2020 where there was no general Directs, 2024 was the latest. First general Direct of that year was June 18th with the prior Directs being Partner Showcase, Pokemon Presents and Indie World.

Can't they make a direct per 10 minutes of the movie. So I just have to watch the Directs instead of watchin the movie?

What another waste of time.
Show us new first party games for Switch 2 and not game editions.
Switch 2 has been a great disappointment.

Boycot the movies and maybe Nintendo will be a game company again

@Willo567 I was being hyperbolic, obviously. I'm aware they publish games. But seems like most announcements are a remaster, switch 2 edition, or movies and toys (amiibo), theme parks, etc.

The optimist in me thinks that a proper Nintendo direct is coming the following week, now that every other kind of direct has taken place. The pessimist in me thinks this it until June.

@maddox121 Mario Bros 2 on the NES is the first video game I ever played, aged 4. It is a special one to me. Very happy to see them crop up again!

This is not what we want Nintendo! Give us a general Direct already! We all know it's coming.

It’s starting to reek of desperation that Nintendo knows it’s customers wants a Direct, but they don’t have any first party stuff to discuss yet, so they’ve made any other information into a Direct instead.

@OldGamer999 it’s trivial. First world nothingness. In the grand scheme of things it means nada.

I predicited a direct for this week sadly I thought a general not another Mario trailer. Maybe the week starting the 16th?. 2nd week in April my guess now.

Gee what will it show? Fingers crossed drops the movie for free on YouTube 🤣
