Nintendo fans can rejoice as the highly anticipated Nintendo Direct presentation focuses on the upcoming game, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, which will be released for Nintendo Switch on October 20. The presentation, which streams on Thursday, August 31, aims to provide a sneak peek into the newest addition to the beloved Super Mario series.
Starting at 10 a.m. EDT/7 a.m. PDT, Nintendo’s livestream can be accessed via the company’s YouTube and Twitch channels. The presentation is expected to last approximately 15 minutes, providing fans with exciting information about the game’s features and gameplay.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder takes the Super Mario series back to its 2D roots, introducing players to the Flower Kingdom, a new destination for Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Toad, Yoshi, and the rest of their mushroom kingdom companions. This adventure promises all-new power-ups, including the ability to transform into elephants, and a fascinating item called the Wonder Flower, which introduces unpredictable, level-changing effects to keep players on their toes.
While the game boasts exciting new features, it also brings a significant change to the voice acting. Super Mario Bros. Wonder will be one of the first Super Mario games in decades not to feature the iconic voice of Charles Martinet. Martinet, who has voiced Mario, Luigi, Wario, and other characters since Super Mario 64, announced his retirement from these roles. However, Nintendo has hinted at a special video message from Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto and Charles Martinet, which may shed light on Nintendo’s future plans for the popular characters.
Fans are eager to learn more about the direction the Super Mario franchise will take without Martinet’s iconic voice. Thursday’s Nintendo Direct presentation is expected to shed some light on this matter and possibly unveil further surprises.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder’s release date is set for October 20, and fans are counting down the days as they anticipate another exciting addition to the Nintendo Switch library. Stay tuned for the Nintendo Direct presentation for all the latest information on this highly anticipated game.
