In the world of Nintendo, the anticipation for a new Mario game on the Switch 2 was palpable. Fans eagerly awaited a new 3D Mario game during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, only to be surprised by the announcement of Donkey Kong Bonanza. This 3D platformer starring Donkey Kong seemed to draw inspiration from the beloved Super Mario Odyssey. While some questioned the absence of a main 3D or 2D Mario game for the Switch 2, Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser hinted at exciting developments on the horizon, urging fans to stay tuned.
Speculation ran wild about the involvement of the Mario team in the creation of Donkey Kong Bonanza. The possibility of external partners and indie teams collaborating with Nintendo for more frequent and innovative game releases added fuel to the fire. Despite the unconventional release of Bowser's Fury, which saw collaboration between the entertainment planning and development department and support studios, the core EPD5 team's focus on a new Mario game seemed imminent. As discussions around the development of Donkey Kong Bonanza unfolded, the intricate dance between studios hinted at a strategic approach to game production.
The strategic maneuvers within Nintendo's development landscape hinted at a carefully orchestrated plan. The value of the Mario franchise, especially in the wake of upcoming projects like the Mario movie and Super Nintendo World, underscored the importance of delivering a new Mario game for the Switch 2. With the next Mario movie slated for release in 2026, the timing for a new 3D Mario game aligned perfectly. The potential release of a new 3D Mario game alongside the movie hinted at a meticulously planned strategy to leverage the iconic character's popularity across various mediums.
