If only Nintendo had timed a Mario game launch to coincide with the movie. We're still waiting for a dang 2D Mario game made for Switch!

I think they want to allow as many people to see the movie as possible over the next 6 months (theatrical release followed by PVOD/DVD/BR followed by streaming) then release a brand new game this holiday.

But will it be a brand new game in the mainline canon, or based on the movie?
