Jeff Grubb confirming. It’s a 2-step reveal. On the 16th will be almost 100% hardware with little to say about software. It’s expected to launch by summer.

What they need is another Super Mario 3D World, that isn’t a port from a previous system. Bowser’s Fury is a half game.
Odyssey is fantastic, but 3D World is a pitch-perfect three-dimensional adaptation of the original platformer.
I’d like a more Mario sunshine/64 style game. The movement mechanics were sublime in sunshine. That itch hasn’t been scratched since, even by odyssey, which came closer than the galaxy games.
Makes sense, when Sunshine was made the only other 3D Mario was 64, so it used the same formula on a larger and more elaborate scale.
But then something unexpected happened, they made bonus levels that were capsule worlds that looked a lot like classic Mario games. And players wanted more of that so the Galaxys were basically that, fleshed out into full games.
Odyssey is a natural progression of Galaxy’s formula. But 3D World is not a natural progression of Sunshine, its New Super Mario Bros. in 3D.
It would be nice to get more 64/Sunshine-type games.
