As if there was ever any doubt; Mario is set to return to the big time with the upcoming release of Super Mario Odyssey, a Switch exclusive that's due to land around the end of 2017. Nintendo describes it as the first new 3D Mario sandbox title since Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine.
In this new 3D Mario game Mario has left Mushroom Kingdom behind the player will be able to explore new worlds (including what looks very much like New York), using a hat that has eyes to assist you on your travels. Beyond that details are thin on the ground at the time of writing, but you can see it in action in the trailer below.
Holiday 2017 is all we know in terms of release date, but this sure looks interesting, don't you think?
