On this episode of The Mario Matter, EmSwizzle (Max) goes over his predictions for the hottest Nintendo products yet to release! Switch 2 Lite, 3D Mario, and more! We also dive into Nintendo news such…
Beginning with the first topic, which is, "Max, when will these Nintendo products release?" Or games or consoles or whatever you wanna call them.
I have one, two, three, four, five, six...
I'm not trying to make a six seven joke, but I have...
I was just counting, and I have seven categories.
Seven different high-demand Nintendo games, consoles, products, all that, that, you know, I've been asked, like, "Max, when will it release?" Let's start answering these and get to the bottom of every single one.
So the first probably most asked about upcoming Nintendo game that I see in my Q&A, everyone's like, "Max, when will it come out?" Let's talk about 3D Mario.
And I've given my thoughts on this so many times, but I think sitting here mid-July of 2026 is a g- is a great time to revisit the conversation because we are only one, two...
We're only two months out.
Uh, less than that, prob- probably like a month, a month and 20 days, right? If, if they do a September one like they usually do almost every single year without fail.
We're a month and 20 days out.
So rumor has it the next 3D Mario game will be shown in that Direct, and this is a good time, 'cause it's probably the last time that I'll be able to predict when will 3D Mario come out.
'Cause we'll, we'll, we'll find out in September, right? I gotta stick to my guns on this one.
There's been so many times where I have said in the past, like, "Oh, 2026 will definitely be the year." Now we know that is not the case.
I think there's no more clear answer than late 2027.
I mean, here's the thing.
Here's the fact of the matter.
It's hard to announce a new console and not have a pretty big Mario game to follow it.
With the Switch One, we had Odyssey.
With the GameCube, you had, you had Sunshine eventually.
Like, you had all that.
And you might look at me and say, "Well, Max, I mean, we had Mario Kart World for the Switch 2.
That's their Mario game." Yeah, I, I guess it is, but, like, you gotta have that big Mario adventure because I've said this in, in the past, and I'll, and I'll say it again.
