In their latest showcase, Nintendo just announced a new Mario game! It's called "Super Mario Bros Wonder", and we even have a release date – which is thankfully not far away.
The latest Nintendo Direct showcase was underwhelming for the most part. We were given no new information about the Switch 2 or Zelda: TotK DLC, and we instead saw a bunch of okay-but-not-great adverts.
However, right at the end, they gave us a bit of magic:A new Mario game. It's going to be called "Super Mario Bros Wonder", it's a 2D side-scroller, and you can watch the trailer below.
