Super Mario Galaxy and more lead the way in Nintendo Direct

Mario is back. A lot of Mario. Nintendo revealed a gaggle of titles, including Super Mario Galaxy, that’ll be on the way for the character’s 40th.

Super Mario time

Today’s Nintendo Direct revealed a number of big games, come to both the Switch and Switch 2. Leading the way though, and this is probably fitting, was a certain Italian plumber. For those who don’t know, it’s officially Mario’s 40th birthday, since the original game released in Japan on September 13th, 1985. Yep, 40 years tomorrow.

As such, Nintendo had a heaping helping of Mario news on tap. That was led by an announcement for the Super Mario Galaxy movie, landing in theaters in 2026, but also a hefty dose of games. As you might imagine, the games that the film will be based on were included in that, and will be out for Switch next month.

There was more though, with Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park. That game will include some fresh content, and also re-present the first Switch’s version. That’s not all though, as there’s also a new Yoshi game, a new Mario Tennis title, and some real-world collectibles coming up too.

More than just Mushrooms

So yeah, Super Mario took the spotlight, but the Direct offered up a good deal more. Nintendo brought some news about Metroid Prime 4: Beyond as well, which’ll be out this December for both Switches. That’s a long awaited title, and one of the key Switch 2 games for this debut year, as far as we’re concerned. It’s great to see it finally get a launch date.

In a stunning announcement too, Resident Evil Requiem will be coming to the Switch 2. Capcom will bring this ninth numbered installment of the franchise to Nintendo’s console, but it’s not alone. Landing day and date with it, will be RE7 and RE8, bringing the latest titles all under Nintendo’s… umbrella.

Along with those reveals were a cavalcade more too. DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, and more all saw more info shared. Finally though, might just be our favorite announcement out of the whole show. The Virtual Boy is coming to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.

Yes, Virtual Boy games will be available for subscribers, and Nintendo will work towards a 14 game library. Oh, but the coolest part? There’s a Virtual Boy accessory item. Up on Nintendo’s online shop now, this accessory will mimic the original console, via a pop-open top that will accept a Switch or Switch 2 console. On top of the $99.99 USD peripheral too, there’ll also be a $24.99 cardboard model. So if you want to play, you will have some options.
