The little look over to the offscreen PR person to make sure that was a vague enough answer really makes the clip.

Wait, so they'll announce the next Mario game during a Nintendo Direct? NO WAY!!!!
This is a non-answer.

Yeah, it feels a little less like a non answer. Also he learned his lesson from his pikmin 4 announcement lol
I'm really hoping they go all in on Switch 2 with the next 3D Mario.
That team deserves the chance to really go for it without the constraints of the Switch 1 hardware, that they were already pushing up against with Odyssey and Bowser's Fury.
the time is right
I assumed we'd be getting Odyssey 2 but with how long it's been + some of the ideas Bowser's Fury was flirting with, could easily see the next entry being something brand new

This is the most nothing answer ever
But the movie did just come out, so we'll see. Maybe they have something planned, I'm not gonna start hoping for it yet.

It'd make sense for the next 3D Mario game to be announced for the Switch 2, but only if it's coming this year or next year, if it's coming in 2025, maybe they'd just release it on Switch this year. Bear in mind they haven't made a new 2D Mario game either, thus it stands to reason that they could just not release a 3D Mario game this year, or even announce it, but a 2D one.
Edit: Also, where else would a new Mario game be announced? Probably not at the end of the movie, that's probably reserved for a tease for a sequel and "future Nintendo Directs" doesn't give a timeframe, it can be from the July one to any before the heat death of the universe.

Well, that would leave us with a few options: announced this summer, along with the Switch 2 reveal; announced this summer with no Switch 2 reveal, but cross-generational; or not announced this summer and perhaps saved for a Switch 2017 Presentation-like showing.
Not sure which I would expect, though probably not the first one.
Maybe I'm wrong but I believe a 3D Mario game has never been announced during a Direct so this would be a first :p
The answer is actually a bit more telling than I thought.
I wonder how the Mario franchise will be influenced by the movie, going forward. The movie seems closer to 3D World than Odyssey for example, but at the same time I can't see them parting from the Odyssey formula. That shit is addicting.

For 3D Mario, probably. But there's still a glimmer of hope for a 2D Mario this year. A small one, since the best time for the reveal would've been in February. But it's still a chance all the same.
That seems to be the general consensus, at least for 3D Mario.
Feels like it's a huge mistake to not drop a new Mario game for cross-promotion with the movie, but I am not good at economics so who knows, maybe the existing evergreens on Switch can just keep selling.
