It’s been an open secret for months now that Nintendo is working on a remastered compilation of its major 3D Mario titles, including Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy, and yet the company stubbornly refuses to make an announcement. It was rumored Nintendo would finally reveal the package, reportedly titled Super Mario 35th Anniversay Collection, in July, and then August, and obviously neither happened. The anniversary of Super Mario Bros' release is coming up on September 13, so we’re really coming down to the wire here!
Well, apparently Mario may have to postpone his bash, as the tested Nintendo leakers at the Nate the Hate podcast and Video Games Chronicle are reporting the Super Mario remasters won’t be released in time for the series’ 35th anniversary. Apparently, the original plan was to announce the Super Mario 35th Anniversary Collection during E3 season in June, kicking off a summer-long celebration culminating in the release of the remasters and opening of the Universal Super Nintendo World theme park in Japan. Of course, COVID-19 threw those plans into disarray.
