It's been months since the Super Mario Galaxy Movie trailer aired, so a Nintendo Direct just for the film is coming, and it's happening this weekend.

Nintendo has a new Nintendo Direct coming this Sunday, Jan. 25, but this one won't be about upcoming Switch 2 games. Nintendo will instead dedicate another Direct showcase to The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the imminent sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie, promising "an exclusive look" at the animated adventure from Illumination.

AttackTheBacklog and Nash Weedle have heard claims that Nintendo has a 3D Mario game this year, to be announced February or March.

There's always speculation about the next Nintendo Direct showcase on the internet, usually starting around five minutes after the previous one aired. However, there's a new batch of rumors strongly indicating that we'll get one this week.

The last movie-dedicated Nintendo Direct was in November 2025 and brought the news of Brie Larson (Rosalina) and Benny Safdie (Bowser Jr.) joining the voice cast. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie hits theaters on April 3, 2026.

Just days after it dropped a Nintendo Direct about The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Nintendo announced another dedicated showcase: A new Nintendo Direct is coming on Thursday, Jan. 29, featuring the highly anticipated Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream.

A big Nintendo Direct showcase in February is heavily rumored. Here's what we most hope to see revealed when it arrives.

Nintendo announced a Sunday Direct focused on “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.” Here’s how to watch and what to expect from the upcoming sequel.
