During an interview with IGN, Shigeru Miyamoto confirmed that Nintendo is currently working on Mario’s next video game adventures.
As the Super Mario universe prepares to make its big comeback in theaters with the broadcast of Super Mario Bros. The Movie on April 5, gamers continue to wait impatiently to find out what future Nintendo has in store for its famous plumber in the console. And for good reason, if we delete the release of Super Mario 3D World Bowser’s Fury in 2021, the last major entry in the series was already in 2017 with Super Mario Odyssey. But rest assured, fans: something new is afoot!
Nintendo is working on the future of Mario
In fact, that’s what Shigeru Miyamoto revealed during a recent interview with IGN, who kept asking him why a new work hadn’t been announced despite all the licensing news. recently. “We’re still working on Mario, so when we get to a point where we can share information, we definitely will.” then replied. It’s not much, of course, but at least we now have the certainty that Nintendo is currently working on the future of the adventures of the plumber.
The question now remains as to what we might expect. these last years, the Japanese firm has focused mainly on launching ports and other remasterssuch as the Super Mario 3D All-Stars Compilation or Super Mario 35. However, an email sent in January could have teased the arrival of a sequel to Super Mario Odysseythe latter evoking the idea that there is “maybe even more to discover” and therefore invite players to “Come Aboard the Odyssey Again”.
Answer, perhaps, in the months to come. In any case, one thing is certain, if there is a new work, it should not be released before the second half of 2023 at the earliest because no announcement about it was made during the last Nintendo Direct broadcast on February 8th.
