Nintendo has “no idea what the next game style will be” for Mario after Wonder’s launch
Prior to the launch of Super Mario Bros. Miracle2D side-scrolling platformer producer Takashi Tezuka has revealed that there is no strict plan for the future Mario games to follow the same game style as this month’s upcoming release. Nintendo isn’t even sure at this point what the style for the mustachioed plumber’s next installments will be.
This update came in one interview with GameInformerin which Tezuka stated, “I believe we’ve moved on from the New Super Mario Bros. series into a new phase, but at the moment we have no idea what the next game style will be.”
Adding to this, art director Masanobu Sato said: “What we do know is that Super Mario Bros. Miracle has created a bigger stage for adventure for Mario and his friends.”
Although it’s not out yet, Super Mario Bros. Miracle has already received some positive pre-launch previews. In our extensive previewI wrote, “I’ve never played a game that made me laugh so quickly Super Mario Bros. Miracle“, and that “the vibrant, cheerful colors, cheerful tunes and general sense of (dare I say it) wonder is overwhelming” from the moment you start playing.
Despite this positivity, some fans may be relieved that Nintendo isn’t sure if they’ll adopt a go-to formula for the game. Mario series in the future as many claim that the New Super Mario Bros. series, which dominated the mid-2000s and 2010s with six releases (including a Nintendo Switch port of New Super Mario Bros.U) started to feel quite repetitive after a while, even though each title was well received. After all, you can have too much of a good thing.
