Hope we see the new 3D Mario game (I believe we will), and I think we will see a New Super Mario Bros collection for Mario's 40th (makes sense to do that in tandem with the movie).

There also have been heavy rumours on some decent 3rd party titles but would rather hear more about exclusives. I think Nintendo has been good at keeping most of their info sealed recently as not many saw the announcement of DK coming, so that makes me hopeful we will get a few surprises which I am excited for. As I said I'm really looking forward to the new Mario game, particularly after their Bowser Fury experiment. Some have hinted at Animal Crossing, but I do think we will get another big title announcement for 2026 possibly a new IP.

High expectations so hopefully for my sanity they will deliver!

We'd either see something brief (like a cutscene) like we did when Tears of the Kingdom was revealed or we could get a normal unveiling with no release date or coming late 2026 or some point in 2027. 

I just know Nintendo is in an interesting spot because the DK team is surely working on 3D Mario but who knows if they could even start active development until Dk went gold.
