Do you guys think that we will see a Mario game next year, which will share content of the animated movie, which will be released April 7, 2023?

I can see a chance for a potential release in March 2023 or autumn, although there are no rumors yet. A new 3D Mario game would underline the strong first party support for next year, which should definitely push Switch sales up to 17-18M in 2023.

I have my own theory regarding the Mario movie/game. I know the rumors are that a new Donkey Kong movie is being made, but i think those rumors point at a 3D Mario/Donkey Kong game to coincide with the release of the movie. This could be the beginning of a new IP for Nintendo and one that would keep the continuity of whatever film project they are working on. 

I’ve got nothing to base this on, of course. But I wouldn’t be surprised. I’m not sure if it would be out in time for the movie, but a Holiday release would still be current enough to work.
