A recent speculation about the Nintendo Switch 2 might uncover the launch date of the upcoming 3D Mario game. The last occasion when Mario enthusiasts received a fresh new 3D Mario game (excluding reissues like Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury and Super Mario 3D All-Stars) was in 2017, with the release of Super Mario Odyssey. This means it’s been eight full years since then. Not only has the anticipation for the next 3D Mario game been tough on Mario fans, but it has also been unusually prolonged.
2013 saw the launch of Super Mario 3D World on Wii U, followed by Super Mario Odyssey on Nintendo Switch in 2017, a gap of four years between the two releases. Prior to that, there was Super Mario 3D Land for the Nintendo 3DS in 2011. This is significantly longer than any gap we’ve seen before in 3D Mario games. The longest previous gap occurred between Super Mario 64 on N64 in 1996 and Super Mario Sunshine on GameCube in 2002, which was only six years long, though it still surpasses the current gap.
It’s great news that we might finally see an end to the wait for a new 3D Mario game on Nintendo Switch 2 this year. While there hasn’t been any official confirmation about its development yet, given past trends and industry insights, it seems likely. Moreover, there are rumors circulating about it as well. However, these rumors suggest that the 3D Mario game won’t be available at the launch of the Switch 2, which is reportedly on March 3rd. Instead, it’s expected to arrive after the launch, although an exact release date isn’t known yet. But considering historical patterns, we might get more details soon.
Previously, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was the flagship title for the Nintendo Switch launch in 2017. Now, speculation points towards Mario Kart 9 as the upcoming major release. This implies that there are two probable locations for a new 3D Super Mario game.
Initially, we’re talking about October. In the year 2017, Super Mario Odyssey wasn’t one of the games available when the Nintendo Switch was first released. However, it became a major game release during the console’s first holiday season. If another 3D Mario game for the Nintendo Switch 2 isn’t ready at launch, releasing it around the same timeframe again would be strategic. This is because Nintendo wants to make a big impact during the holiday season, and Super Mario Odyssey did just that in 2017.
Additionally, it’s important to mention that the original Nintendo Switch was followed by the release of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe a month after its debut, in late April of that year. Since Mario Kart 9 is rumored to be a launch title for the Nintendo Switch 2, this leaves room for another game to take on the secondary role usually filled by Mario Kart. This potential contender could be the upcoming 3D Mario game.
It’s likely that Nintendo plans to keep the excitement going by frequently releasing Nintendo Switch 2 consoles in 2025. If a new 3D Mario game isn’t one of the launch titles for the Nintendo Switch 2, it seems very probable that it will be available during the holiday season instead. However, it’s important to keep in mind that at this point, these are just speculations and rumors, so take everything you hear with a pinch of salt.
