March 10 saw Nintendo once again celebrate its portly plumber and pals during MAR10 Day. The annual event gave us a brief presentation highlighting some major announcement for theMariofranchise both near and, well, not-so near.
Hosted by Shigeru Miyamoto, the near-three minute long presentation packed a healthy number of announcements. The bulk of the video was taken up by confirmation that a sequel toThe Super Mario Bros. Movieis in the works, with a targeted release date of April 3, 2026. Couple of years to wait on this front, then.
Thankfully we won’t have to wait nearly as long for the next three announcements. Firstly, thePaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Doorremakenow has a release date of May 23, 2024. Plus,Luigi’s Mansion 2 HDwill be arriving onNintendo Switcha month later on June 27.
But what if you’re craving some Mario action right now? Well, you’re in luck, as three highly-regarded Mario classics are coming toNintendo Switch Online.Dr. Mariofor the original Game Boy, as well asMario GolfandMario Tennisfor the Game Boy Color will all be arriving on the platform.
The latter two are especially fondly remembered by longtime Nintendo fans. Developed by Camelot, these titles also feature in-depth story modes and RPG elements to set them apart from the usual sporting fare.Dr. Marioon the other hand is, well, it’sDr. Mario;more or less the same puzzler you’ll find in Nintendo Switch Online’s NES library, albeit with a few fewer colors.
The biggest takeaway here on the gaming front is, of course,Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Doorgetting a concrete release date. It’s widely regarded as not only the bestPaper Mariogame, but also one of the best Gamecube games, period. Hopefully, the remake will be of a high enough quality be included in our list of thebest Nintendo Switch games, too.
