With the Mario movie approaching, I’ve seen people wondering why Nintendo didn’t have a new Mario game ready. But Nintendo has plenty of Mario games they can push whether it’s their 2D side scroller, 3D platformers, sports, party or kart racing games, so much! More importantly, they also have games starring or featuring the other main characters in the movie:
Luigi’s Mansion 3
Captain Toad Treasure Tracker
Yoshi’s Crafted World
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze
and though not starring, Bowser’s Fury
But there is no Peach game or even a game with Peach in the title. It’s a very clear gap in their lineup and one they need to address immediately. If anything, it needed to be addressed well before the movie came out. All they can do now is point to her inclusion in the various games with Mario in the title or Smash Bros. 3D World at least lets you play as her, but imagine kids coming out of that movie and wanting to get a “Peach game”, what will they choose?
Maybe once DS comes to NSO Super Princess Peach will get a second life but it’s not the same as a new game. So what should it be? Does anybody else see this as a clear problem in their lineup?
