As part of its anniversary celebrations, Nintendo will reveal plans to re-release most of Super Mario's 35-year back catalogue this year, remastered for Nintendo Switch, VGC was told.

Nintendo will also release several other Mario titles in 2020, including a new instalment in the Paper Mario series.

The plans are set to be revealed alongside new details of Nintendo's partnership with Universal, and the pair's Super Nintendo World theme park attractions and animated Super Mario movie.

Nintendo has already unveiled one flagship licensing deal planned to commemorate the anniversary: a special interactive Lego Mario set which sees players collecting coins and defeating enemies in real-life 'levels'.

The Super Mario 35th Anniversary reveal was originally due to take place as a physical event at E3 in June, VGC was told, but Nintendo is now reviewing its plans in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. E3 2020 has been cancelled due to the virus outbreak and Nintendo could instead opt for a digital showcase.

I seriously doubt this.

Nintendo drips and drips their stuff.

I'll believe it when I see it. Way too many outlandish rumors floating around

That's.... a lot of Mario games.

Still, there are a bunch of games I'd rebuy in a heart beat.

Good year to be a plumber indeed.

HD Super Mario Galaxy (2) would be legit.

Yep. I'm not gonna get my hopes up for this.

But it will be nice to play Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy on the go. I mean a Galaxy port is already done because it was ported to the Nvidia Shield, which is literally a Switch.

I don't think it's true for a second, given that Marios 25th anniversary celebration ... was that rerelease of mario all stars, lol. But I really want to believe that we might see remasters of all the earlier major 3d marios.

As someone who doesn't like Mario that much (I'm a Wario guy myself), I'm not excited at all. I already own the classic 2D games almost every platform I own and I'm pass this if real. Good for younger gamers though.

If it's a bunch of older ports, this would make sense

Do you mean like Mario All-Stars?

Those are already available in the NES and SNES online. The games that is.

That leaves for mainline:

SM64
Sunshine
Galaxy duo
3D Land/World
the rest of the New Series

I can't see Nintendo, which is super conservative about spacing stuff out, release even ports of all these in just one year.

I would love to get the Galaxy games on Switch. But, if the port of Mario 3D world is for this year and odissey 2 for the next, I don't see them until 2022 at least.

Imagine it's just a 3D World port, Paper Mario, and All-Stars on SNES NSO. Maybe Mario 64 on N64 NSO as well.

Really doubt we'll see 64 , Sunshine, and Galaxy ports/remasters all in the same year. 2D and 3D Mario Collections would be fucking dope though.

There's a few games i would rebuy/replay, but not everything. Paper Mario only if it's like 64 and TTYD again, skip otherwise.

I hope that 2021 is going to be a good year for either a mute elf-guy or a mute space bounty hunter. Or both.

I would very much enjoy playing SM64, Sunshine and Galaxy (1+2) on switch.

Paper Mario and Thousand Year door would be bonus! However, I can see this becoming very expensive...

"Good year to be a plumber" indeed...

Oh man if we get the Galaxies in HD and some new Mario games on top of that I will be a happy camper.

That's a bit overkill no? Though playing Galaxy 1 and 2 or 3D World on my Switch would be fantastic. Sunshine can stay where the sun doesn't shine.

Why? Remember the current Paper Mario is the way it is because the M&L series was thought to already cover Mario RPGs and now that AlphaDream is gone...

Yeah this is the only thing that might let them make an actual Paper Mario again.
