Both titles have been nominated for the prestigious ‘Console Game of the Year’ award, showcasing the innovative spirit of Nintendo’s latest console. With competition from heavyweights like Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Ytei, the stakes are high for these beloved franchises.

The recent registration of domain names related to the next Super Mario Bros movie has sparked renewed interest in a title leak that surfaced two months ago.

This development could indicate that the sequel will delve into new adventures, including Luigi’s journey through a desert and Yoshi’s escapades in New York.
