Rumored 3D Mario Game Could Finally Be Revealed At Tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct
Overview & Key Takeaways
The big September Nintendo Direct is right around the corner, and so far, the only thing that Nintendo has confirmed about it is that it'll run for 45 minutes. Beyond that, the company is keeping a tight lid on tomorrow's broadcast, where it's expected to make a few big reveals that could help soften the blow of a $50 increase to the Switch 2 console.
That hasn't stopped leakers from making some bold predictions, as one insider claims that we could finally see a new 3D Mario game revealed. Malo932--who correctly predicted the reveal of the recent Star Fox game and the remake of Ocarina of Time--also correctly revealed that two Nintendo Directs were coming this week. Their latest leaks (via Centro Leaks) have teased not only a 3D Mario but also a new Super Smash Bros. game, the return of the Nintendogs franchise, Mario Kart World DLC featuring Fox McCloud in action, and a brand-new Star Fox game.

Another prominent leaker, NecroFelipe, has also added that Luigi's Mansion 4 is reportedly in development. That would make for a sizable stack of games from Nintendo, but even if they are real, could we see all of them in tomorrow's Direct? NecroFelipe isn't so sure, as they wrote on X that Nintendo won't play its entire hand in one Direct. Malo932 has also deleted their recent YouTube comments since then and changed their display name to "Stop" (via Kotaku), suggesting that something is afoot. Did Nintendo's lawyers finally close in on them?
We'll have to wait until September 9 to find out, but if previous September Directs are any indication, this year's edition should have plenty of games from Nintendo and its third-party partners to check out. Don't forget, there's also a Legend of Zelda-themed Direct kicking off today.
