In the podcast Nate the Hate, which recently correctly anticipated both theIndies World Showcase and the Nintendo Direct Mini before they were announced, it was stated that the Mario Switch Remasters could be postponed. The collection in question, consisting of Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine e Super Mario Galaxy, is currently scheduled to coincide with 35 birthday of the mascot Nintendo, or the 13 September 2020. However, according to the insider Nate, it seems that Nintendo intends to postpone this collection.
Nintendo's original plan, in fact, included the announcement and celebration of its mascot at theE3 from June until the planned opening of the theme park Super Nintendo World in Japan. However, these plans were skipped due to the Covid-19 pandemic which resulted in the cancellation of E3 2020 and the postponement of the opening of the Nintendo theme park.
Given the change of plans due to force majeure, it seems that Mario Switch Remasters could see the light shortly after the 35th anniversary of the character, probably close to Christmas festivities, as the insider specified during his podcast:
I think it will now be positioned more like a holiday game than they originally planned. I believe the original plan was to release the collection in September if these games were announced in June. […] Now this floor has been totally demolished.
Speaking of Super Mario 64, as you will know a few days ago the Nintendo codes database was attacked and suffered a data theft with the codes of various titles including the aforementioned Super Mario 64, Mario barth 64 e Zelda Ocarina of Time. Following the aforementioned theft, the news of the presence of Luigi still hidden in the code. If you want to deepen the question we bring you back to this article, where we have reported all the details of the story.
