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.

Have this rumor.

Nintendo needs to launch a brand new 2d Mario.

That would be funny if Zippo's rumors both turned out to be half true - but the new Donkey Kong game is actually the new 2D Mario game.  The rumor was that the new DK is 2D, abandoning the "Country" moniker and made by EPD.  What if it's really a cross-over game set to launch in March as the big Q4 game, releasing right before the theatrical movie (featuring both characters) in April.

I doubt it though.  I think Donkey Kong will release later - probably  a bit closer to the DK theme park opening, but we'll see.
