Alright, let’s see. Imagine this: you’re at NBC Universal’s “upfront” event. Honestly, it’s a miracle something relevant popped up for Nintendo fans. Like, really? They dropped the name of the next Mario movie right there. And yeah, it got me thinking — Is this going to be the first time Japan snags a name like that? Or does it go by Super Mario Bros 4? Questions, questions…
Anyway, back to the point — wait, nope, hold that thought. Okay, so this press release from NBC Universal? Totally slid in “Super Mario World” amidst a bunch of other films set to stream on Peacock. Which, by the way, is NBC Universal’s thing. They own Illumination, the studio that’s teamed up with Nintendo to make these Mario movies happen.
The whole list had me chuckling though. It was this mix of sequels all jazzed up for 2025-26. Stuff like Megan 2.0, Nobody 2, and more. But then, boom, there it was — Super Mario World.
Why did this stick with me, you ask? No idea. Maybe it’s because it’s queued up for release on April 3, or perhaps it’s just the allure of something so classic getting reimagined. Who’s to say really?
