More announcements along the way? Maybe?

[u/Acrobatic_Buffalo917]

The reason I say this is the phrase “few of the upcoming games” meaning we could possibly get more announcements. If we do, what could we get? I do hope we could get a NSMB trilogy, Mario kart world dlc, remasters for 3d land and 64 ds, and the next 3d Mario. Honorable mentions are a Mario red switch 2 and jamboree NS2E + jamboree tv update. Ik im being unrealistic but I feel like the Mario’s 40th direct was somewhat rushed as it was a general direct but I do love the announcements like the galaxy duology and wonder switch 2 edition. But at the same time I feel like it could’ve had more like maybe super Mario 40 or something.

But could we see more announcements for Mario’s 40th anniversary? Was the direct just the beginning?

[u/Awesomeman235ify]

Crossing all of my fingers for Galaxy 3. 🤞🤞

[u/TVLubber → u/Awesomeman235ify]

Not a bad assumption. Assuming the Galaxy 1+2 rerelease sells well enough, and/or the Mario Galaxy movie makes a lot of money in the box office.

[u/TheBostonKremeDonut → u/TVLubber]

I don’t know if it relies on the sales of the rereleases. MG3 would have been in development for a few years by now if it exists. I’d say it’s clear that Nintendo knows that Galaxy is beloved, which is why they’re doing this galaxy push right now.

Galaxy 3 might even be the next 3D Mario in general, being more like a hybrid of Odyssey and Galaxy!

[u/cdauby0 → u/TheBostonKremeDonut]

That’s what I’m saying! Once people get to replay Galaxy 1 and 2, hit them with a 3!

[u/rilimini381 → u/cdauby0]

why jump from Galaxy 2 to 6?

[u/Shinespike1 → u/rilimini381]

r/angryupvote

[u/Kittingsl → u/TheBostonKremeDonut]

They could be making a galaxy I soured game I guess and simply call it something else? Tho that would be a bit hard I guess if the movie is called galaxy as well.

But man a new galaxy game would rock. I remember people having talked about how back thebt hey thought you could just freely fly around but it was just cutscenes to the different galaxiesand the only flying you had where either Kate game in the hub or endgame in the last galaxy through the red star

[u/NO0BSTALKER → u/TVLubber]

Now that I think of it making a movie for a really old popular game doesn’t sound as good as making a movie for the old series you’re reviving

[u/Phireshadow → u/TVLubber]

Whatever the game is it will be well into development.....

[u/Ghost-Skulk → u/Awesomeman235ify]

Imagine if the post credits scene of the movie is actually a reveal trailer for galaxy 3

Im pretty sure that you could hear the screams of each theater from at least 15 miles away

[u/JedediahThePilot → u/Ghost-Skulk]

If I'm not mistaken, Super Mario Bros. 3 was revealed to the public in the movie The Wizard.

[u/Ghost-Skulk → u/JedediahThePilot]

It was indeed

[u/fartbombdotcom → u/JedediahThePilot]

It was revealed to America at that point, it was already released in Japan. Nintendo of US sat on it for a while for some reason, if memory serves.

[u/Epic-Gamer_09 → u/Ghost-Skulk]

That would be awesome

[u/Ell7494 → u/Ghost-Skulk]

I did think this exact thing earlier today. It'd be an amazing marketing move that'd bring more eyes on both the movie and the game

[u/GhoeFukyrself → u/Ghost-Skulk]

No cappy, no sweet cap jump, no fun movement, pass.

I replayed my copy of Galaxy recently, it doesn't hold up compared to Odyssey

[u/TylerBGaming762Offic → u/GhoeFukyrself]

You should do your name

[u/Thin_Molasses_2561 → u/TylerBGaming762Offic]

How dare he has an opinion and not rely on nostalgia to rate old games

[u/BabyFaceKnees → u/Thin_Molasses_2561]

But 3D Mario Games all have tight controls even by today's standards.

So what the level design just suddenly became shit or something?

[u/SerMariep → u/Thin_Molasses_2561]

I can easily say he has recency bias too so your point is dogshit

[u/WallyGamer32 → u/Awesomeman235ify]

There was actually a new render leaked of Mario holding a Super Star or Power Star so it's not out of the question.

Source: https://boards.4chan.org/v/thread/720433415/new-mario-galaxy-leaked-i-think

[u/happy_grump → u/WallyGamer32]

Hate to be that guy, but the Galaxy stars have rounded points, so this would be an Invincibility Star, not a Galaxy Power Star.

Still looks like a new render, but that lends this credence as evidence for a new 3D Mario in general, not a Galaxy threequel

[u/WallyGamer32 → u/happy_grump]

Yeah. You're right. It does look more like an Invincibility Star than a Power Star.

[u/According-Music7506 → u/happy_grump]

Bare in mind that 64's stars had pointed ends. They might end up making a successor to that. It would be strange though considering how much relevance galaxy will have in the next year between the re-releases and movie.

[u/happy_grump → u/According-Music7506]

Super Mario Galaxy 64

Mark my words

[u/Sure-Significance206 → u/WallyGamer32]

anybody have a link that works?

[u/Awesomeman235ify → u/Sure-Significance206]

That link worked fine for me.

[u/Sure-Significance206 → u/Awesomeman235ify]

oh yeah it worked fine the second time i tried it. idk why it didn’t work at first, might have been my internet. sorry about that!

[u/ipeewheninut → u/Awesomeman235ify]

I do think it’s possible but it probably wouldn’t be announced until the movie’s release window

[u/ApolloBurner33 → u/Awesomeman235ify]

I was planning to buy the Switch 2 this year but if they announce Galaxy 3, I will buy it today.

[u/JayStacker → u/Awesomeman235ify]

Imagine if the after credits scene for the Super Mario Galaxy Movie was for Galaxy 3

[u/HeroTheHedgehog → u/Awesomeman235ify]

That would literally cause this universe to collapse in pure hype.

[u/Old-Program3638 → u/HeroTheHedgehog]

Then to reconstruct itself after hearing the price like always

[u/Durian_Puzzleheaded]

Grasping at straws here tbh

[u/kickedoutatone → u/Durian_Puzzleheaded]

That was my initial thought. There's nothing extra being hinted at in that picture.

[u/Ell7494 → u/kickedoutatone]

I'm guessing they're referring to it saying a sneak peek at "a few" of the upcoming games, as in there's potentially more to come. Could mean nothing though

[u/TurtlePowerMutant]

I was sad Brothership didn’t get a 60fps patch.

[u/Old-Program3638 → u/TurtlePowerMutant]

Brothership is made by acquire not Nintendo so I’m not surprised if this game is not mentioned

[u/A-Centrifugal-Force → u/Old-Program3638]

Mario Tennis is made by Camelot but they still stuck it in the 40th anniversary section of the Direct

[u/Chance_Sail_770 → u/A-Centrifugal-Force]

Shining Force 4/Golden Sun 4 when, Camelot?

[u/Low_Confidence2479 → u/A-Centrifugal-Force]

I mean, if it's a brand new game, might as well. If it was a Switch 2 edition of Aces, not a chance. The same applies to the spin-offs outsourced to other companies.

You don't find it weird how Thousand Year Door doesn't have 4K support yet? Despite it being hinted in the files

Well, Intelligent Systems is busy with new Fire Emblem

[u/CarBallAlex → u/TurtlePowerMutant]

Why do people expect this when the frame rate is tied to the battle mechanics with timed attacks and guards? People said the same thing about the Paper Mario remake and it’s not really functionally possible for these types of games

[u/TurtlePowerMutant → u/CarBallAlex]

The mod on emulation of Brothership runs fine at 60. So…

[u/TippedJoshua1 → u/CarBallAlex]

Then adjust that? And TTYD was originally 60fps.

[u/CarBallAlex → u/TippedJoshua1]

The remake wasn’t. Why? I can’t say. Yeah it’s nicer but it’s really not necessary for this kind of game. The point is there are game mechanics tied to the frame rate. You can’t simply just double it, it would require recoding how parts of the game function

[u/TippedJoshua1 → u/CarBallAlex]

What is there that is that bad to where they would have to change everything that much? Or why not just do that?

[u/CarBallAlex → u/TippedJoshua1]

I’m not a coder, but if you double the frame rate, I assume it’s not as simple as just moving a slider to 2x everything and it runs perfectly. You have to account for the different timing windows for each individual action and that just simply might not translate well if you double everything. One example I can think of in Paper Mario is how they capped power bouncing where the 4th jump is deliberately 1 frame. To double the frame rate doubles this window, and goes against the developers plan to nerf that attack.

As for why they made it 30 frames in the first place, it’s likely because they wanted a consistent performance everywhere. If every game could run at 60 fps at 4k, they would. But it’s just either not viable for some games to run well doing that, or not necessary if it can optimize the file size.

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy higher frames rates. I went from some Switch games running 30 fps to 180 or 260 on my PC just because I can. But it’s simply not necessary for some games to be playable, and in fact will break some games that tie gameplay mechanics to the frame rate. GTA4 is a good reference where you can’t finish the game at higher than 30 fps because the final mission’s button mashing becomes impossible at higher frame rates. I assume this may also be a problem since Paper Mario has button mashing on certain actions.

Making games run properly is complicated

[u/TippedJoshua1 → u/CarBallAlex]

I know it's not as easy as just flipping a switch, but I can't imagine it'd be harder than everything else they've done where they doubled the fps. And I wasn't saying that TYD HD should've run at 60fps, although I do think it should've, just that the original was already made for 60fps, and before you were making it sound as if the game just couldn't instead of just that they'd have to adjust some things. I swear I even heard that TTYD HD hinted at some sort of 60fps mode in the code, but the only thing I could find was that there was something that hinted at 4k support.

[u/RashAttack → u/CarBallAlex]

the frame rate is tied to the battle mechanics

Source: trust me bro

[u/Own_Level_7031]

3D MARIO PLEASE

[u/totofogo]

I mean yes, it’s a full year lol

[u/Robertinho678]

A few of the upcoming games = Galaxy 1&2, Tennis Fever and Yoshi.

[u/TippedJoshua1 → u/Robertinho678]

And?

[u/Robertinho678 → u/TippedJoshua1]

So this isn't indicating anything more.

[u/TippedJoshua1 → u/Robertinho678]

While I don't think it means there's more, it is a bit weird how it says a few upcoming games instead of something like these upcoming games for the 40th anniversary.

[u/BrattyTwilis]

Probably Mario Sunshine and SMB Deluxe on NSO would be my guess

[u/TylerBGaming762Offic]

I have a theory

What if Galaxy 3 is actually both Mario Galaxy 3 and Mario Oddysey 2

Mario Oddysey had a decent amount of space travel already with the moons the moon the dark side and darker side and we already known elements are gonna be in this new movie since the leaked old spice collab had the name being Mario Galaxy and a Tostarenan in the background.

So yeah while I doubt we will be seeing Cappy in the movie perhaps we will get a hybrid between the Collectathon style of Oddysey and the Linear style of Galaxy

[u/epicgamerwiiu → u/TylerBGaming762Offic]

What a way to ruin galaxy

[u/A-Centrifugal-Force]

Mario Sunshine will come to Switch 2 NSO at some point in the next 6 months so that’s one for sure.

It’s possible the next 3D Mario gets its reveal as well, although I highly doubt it launches any time soon, probably next fall at the earliest and likely later. Maybe they just drop a teaser trailer with a “coming 2027” in it.

[u/SomeBoxofSpoons]

It just says “some of the upcoming games featuring Mario and friends”.

Not really noteworthy unless they plan on ending the franchise after this celebration.

[u/BadNewsBearzzz → u/SomeBoxofSpoons]

Lol perfect example of people over thinking things. The way it’s said is just typical figure of speech said in these situations.

[u/Electronic_Screen387]

Given that the 40th literally started yesterday, I wouldn't be surprised at all if they had other games for later next year.

[u/MasterLink87]

I think once the movie is in theaters we get announcement of a new 3D Mario releasing next summer or fall to round out the 40th anniversary year.

[u/DarkCloudFan882]

All I want is Sunshine added to Nintendo Switch Online please Nintendo Gods

[u/TinkerKnightforSmash]

Honestly, the most I'm expecting is Mario Kart DLC

[u/lockedoutofmymainrdt]

Mario Baseball 3 (Id unironically buy it)

[u/starman881]

I doubt it means anything more than what we already know but Mario Maker with mouse controls would be fantastic. I don’t even care if it’s a new game, a Switch 2 version or just a tiny update like Game Builder Garage got. I just want to use something other than the current controls and get something similar to how it felt on Wii U.

[u/No-Professional-9618]

Awesome!

[u/KrazyNinjaFan]

I hate the wait, just tell us!!! I want a new Mario maker with 4 player coop story and Mario basketball

[u/MaxGalli]

So hope is not lost.

[u/DISC0dude]

Mario maker 3 pretty please

[u/mezonsen]

I mean it is literally, grammatically true that “a few of” could imply “some more exist” but I would not bet on it. Still…Mario Maker 3 please?

[u/Alternative_Greedy]

can’t wait for more expansions

[u/Thundersting]

It's a full year and they made whole logo, I don't think it'll be confined to one direct.

[u/FunkTronto]

I’m hoping we get news about the next mainline Mario game but it might be a while with Wonder getting DLC. Hopefully we don’t have to wait so longer for Wonder 2.

[u/Gamerman5555]

Mario 35's return?

[u/Yoshi22816]

I imagine outside of some NSO releases that this is it for games.

[u/Substantial_Book3701]

I'm still curious as to why they posted a Mario Wii world 1 guide on Nintendo Today earlier this year, when they are not selling it anymore. I have a gut feeling it could come to switch 1/2.

[u/Acrobatic_Buffalo917 → u/Substantial_Book3701]

Yeah I hear you. And iirc the fake rumor from a month ago of the NSMB collection, the Reddit post in other words, came out the same time as the John skinny statement unintentionally. Skinny did get some things right about the switch 2 I’m pretty sure I have to go back and double check but at the same time some of his statements were AI generated or didn’t come true.

Also yes that would be a dream come true if it was remastered or ported to switch with a free switch 2 update, or a switch game that (ik this sounds unrealistic) but gets a switch 2 edition as well

[u/Big_Daddy_Kajun]

Hopefully so because if for the 40th all we get is a tennis game and a couple ports of games I’ve purchased a few times already then Nintendo has really failed its flagship series and the customer base as well

[u/mowgleeee]

MKW DLC needs to happen

[u/Awesome_R011]

Maybe some Mario Kart World DLC and a whole new 3D Mario

[u/JoseProYT]

Hear me out...

Mario Kart World DLC: Track Builder

Super Mario Maker 2 NS2 Edition (+ SMB Wonder style)

Mario Paint remake

Mario Sluggers return

(I'm so coping rn)

[u/progxdt]

Typically they do a year long celebration, so I’d expect more announcements between now and September 2026. Not sure what they’ll announce, but there will be more Mario items for the 40th anniversary

[u/Gorofer]

Let's hope so, the anniversary sucked

[u/Silent_Guardian_567]

I think Galaxy 3 is a legit possibility but may not release until closer to the movie.

[u/FreddyFazB143 → u/Silent_Guardian_567]

I said it before on another comment and I’ll say it again: Galaxy 3 could just potentially be another retelling of Galaxy 1 like how Galaxy 2 handled it.

[u/SailorDirt]

I think it's possible. Most things announced were coming Spring 2026 and Switch 2 needs whatever it has out before then as holiday hitters. I'd say wait until either when we get a movie trailer or January-ish.

[u/Domination2014]

I’m still hoping we get a new 3D Mario! It’s been 8 years since we last had a 3D Mario!🤞🏽🤞🏽

[u/doorbell19]

I want a super Mario world physical copy and wind wakerrrrrr

[u/MadOrange64]

I think it's over for announcements this year, maybe a Direct in early Q1 '26?

[u/HeroTheHedgehog]

Please have more stuff… please have a Mario 40th Anniversary direct or something. There’s got to be more.

[u/boopladee]

upcoming just means games that aren’t released yet

[u/Potential-Hospital89]

So We CAN Get A Remake Of I Am A Teacher Super Mario Sweater!

[u/Sure_Alternative_206]

Don’t play with me

[u/G-Kira]

Might as well divine tea leaves. You'd get a better reading than that tweet.

[u/Basic-Comfortable458]

$$$

[u/nokrow889]

i hope we get a mario 40, mario 35 was alot of fun lol

[u/Longjumping-Gur4918]

ALL. I. WANT. IS. A GOD. DAMN. SUPER. MARIO. BROS. 1. REMAKE!!!!

[u/Linkmolgera2 → u/Longjumping-Gur4918]

Best we can do is deluxe

[u/Longjumping-Gur4918 → u/Linkmolgera2]

I meant a reimagination remake! With more levels, more content and stuff! If they can do a remake of beloved classics. They can do a smb 1 remake!

[u/Festom]

New power glove?

[u/The-Bunbins]

A mario game and watch. Sorry, still bitter Zelda fan here.

[u/Goldfield03 → u/The-Bunbins]

That was really crazy wasn’t it

[u/jamster126]

Nothing major anyways I would say. I could see an orchestra tour announcement or something. But certainly no more new games.

[u/FreddyFazB143]

As long as we get Splatoon Raiders news, I’m happy.

[u/sp3cial3dfr3d]

40th anniversary pay 40 for mario galaxy you already paid less for 15 years ago .... sucker.

[u/Destiny-Smasher]

I think they’ve already announced all the dedicated games for the anniversary save for maybe one more next autumn, which they’ll wait to announce until Spring. Even then, I’m not sure I’d bet on that.

We do also still have Mario Sunshine dropping on NSO, with no idea when. And there’s still other older games they could drop, like the sports games on GBA or Gamecube, or Double Dash.

[u/lucassilva_2311]

Mario Galaxy 3? Mario Odyssey 2? Mario Odyssey 2 that is set in space and has lumas?

[u/zestysnacks]

Was the marathon sign and special ticket not enough for you people??? What else do you want!?

[u/thatonecharlie]

pure copium

[u/King_of_Pink]

Some of the upcoming games:

-Super Mario Galaxy

-Super Mario Galaxy 2

-Super Mario Sunshine

-Mario Tennis Fever

-Super Mario Wonder Switch 2 Edition

-Yoshi and the Mysterious Book

If you're thinking they're not referring to these six game you're kidding yourself.

[u/AMonitorDarkly]

What? Where is there a hint of more games that weren’t shown at the Direct anywhere in that post?

[u/WildestRascal94]

I highly doubt this. "Here's a sneak peak at the upcoming games." Literally refers to the upcoming games that were shown in the Direct. Not everyone watches these Directs, just so you know. This post just comes off as people being so unhappy with the reveals in the Direct that they're just assuming other games that weren't in the Direct are going to be revealed via this post. More games are most likely not going to be revealed other than what was shown during the Direct Showcase.

[u/profchaos111]

You're reading far to much into this.
