| Torpoleon said: As great as Odyssey is, I don't want the next 3D Mario to just be Odyssey 2. Should be it's own thing for Switch 2. I imagine we will find out on April 2. Expecting it to be the big October 2025 title, with Z-A occupying November 2025. |
Nintendo has several times during the Switch gen released sequels or semi-sequels in the same month their predecessor came out and that might hold true for Super Mario.
Releasing Odyssey on October 27th certainly didn't hurt it compared to the more expected November release month. And same with Super Mario Bros. Wonder as an October title.
Z-A seems like the obvious November title, with Super Mario better for mid to late October.
Then again, mid-October could already be late 2025 in Nintendo's eyes. That would mean Z-A would come out in the second half of October and Super Mario might be saved for November.
