Super Mario Bros. Wonder has set a new sales record for the franchise, becoming the fastest-selling Super Mario game after moving 4.3 million units within just two weeks since its release on October 20. The success is partly attributed to the hype surrounding the Super Mario Bros. Movie and the broad appeal of the Mario brand. Nintendo points out that this data reflects sales from Wii and DS era forward. The game has received positive reviews, with special mentions for its innovative gameplay and vibrant new world.

Nintendo expects Super Mario Bros. Wonder to continue strong sales, especially with the holiday season and the forecast into 2024. Additional Mario-themed titles are expected to release soon, including Super Mario RPG, Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Princess Peach: Showtime!, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The company predicts the Super Mario Bros. Movie will help boost sales for these games as well.

Regarding hardware, Nintendo is preparing for the next-generation console expected to launch in 2024. Reports suggest that the new system will maintain portable functionality like the original Switch and will use an LCD screen. Development kits are allegedly already in the hands of partner studios. However, details about backward compatibility with current Switch titles are not yet confirmed. Additionally, Nintendo has confirmed development for a new The Legend of Zelda title that may release on the upcoming console.
