Today is Super Mario Bros's 40th anniversary, marking four decades since the original game was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985. To celebrate, the Japanese gaming giant held a special Nintendo Direct yesterday and announced two big pieces of Mario news.
First up, Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 will get a bundled release on Switch on 2 October, with a 4K upgrade for the Switch 2 (see our guide to Switch 2 prices). The other big announcement is the name and release date for the follow up to 2023's The Super Mario Bros Movie. Nintendo's jumping straight to The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and the news has divided fans.
