The Nintendo Switch 2‘s launch lineup currently features a new Kirby Air Ride, a new Donkey Kong, a new Mario Kart and more. However, one thing that was absent that a lot of fans expected Nintendo to reveal in the Switch 2 Direct was a new 3D Mario game. So, it’s not surprising that the topic would eventually be brought up to Nintendo.
Sure enough, CNN asked Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser about this very thing. When asked why there isn’t a new main Mario game on the Switch 2, Bowser simply said to “stay tuned. You know, we have a long, long catalog, and a long list of (intellectual property) that I’m sure will make its way to the platform”. The response isn’t all that surprising, but it may offer some hope to those who were hoping to get a successor to Super Mario Odyssey on the Switch 2 very soon.
