Nintendo's former marketing leads say the company shouldn't rush to reveal the next 3D Mario game if it's not coming for a while yet.
When the Switch 2 was revealed, all bets were on a 3D Mario game being shown alongside it, however, the 3D Mario team showed up with Donkey Kong Bananza, taking the role of the 3D Mario for the system's launch year. And while some may argue Bananza is even better, given the almost nine year gap since Odyssey, obviously the hunger for 3D Mario to return is there, especially since the only mainline title since then has been Super Mario Bros. Wonder (and the short Bowser's Fury mode in the 3D World re-release).
