A new 2D platformer about Mario with a unique style is almost ready the release will take place next year

According to a well-known Zippo insider, Nintendo has almost completed the development of a completely new 2D platformer about Mario and his friends — the first in the last 10 years.

The project should be released in the next fiscal year.

According to Zippo sources, the platformer has been in development for more than three years, and was produced by series veterans Takashi Tezuka and Hiroyuki Kimura.

Players are waiting for the relaunch of the 2D line with a unique artistic style — this is not another part of the New Super Mario Bros.

An insider has heard that the game will offer four main playable characters — Mario, Princess Peach, Luigi and Toad. Online multiplayer is attached.

During the passage, Mario and Luigi will meet their very old friend, Brigadier Spike, who first debuted in the Wrecking Crew game of 1985.If you do not take into account Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker 2, which were primarily designers, Nintendo released the last new 2D platformer with Mario 10 years ago - it was New Super Mario Bros.
