The Super Mario Bros. 40th Anniversary celebrations continue after the release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie in theaters this week as a few new collectibles and goodies have surfaced at retail (or will be very soon). Both Best Buy and Target have new Super Mario Bros. 40th anniversary collectibles up for grabs, including a pair of game cases (they are sort of like a SteelBook case that holds multiple Switch and Switch 2 cartridges).

While the leaks and rumors regarding upcoming Nintendo plans have slowed to some degree compared to last year’s Switch 2 launch cycle, there have been some seriously exciting tidbits floating around as of late. Not the least of which, some fairly high-profile Nintendo Insiders have already claimed we are in for a complete remake of one of the most celebrated Nintendo titles of all-time: The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. And now it looks as though there’s good reason to believe there will also be a special edition Zelda Ocarina of Time Switch 2 Console.

The new Super Mario Galaxy Movie is hitting theaters today!

There have been some notable releases for Switch 2 thus far, but nothing overly remarkable at this point. We have had some notable first-party releases with the new Mario Tennis game and the Super Mario Bros. Wonder expansion, not to mention the surprisingly well-received Pokémon Pokopia. But Nintendo is going to need some heavy hitters to keep the hype rolling this year – will we finally get a new 3D Mario experience? Doesn’t sound like it at this point, but rumor has it a massive Zelda remake is inbound alongside a new Star Fox game and much sooner than later at that.
