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.

Nintendo unleashed the final trailer for the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy Movie earlier this month, but the reveals ahead of the April 1 release aren’t quite done yet – it has now confirmed that Fox McCloud from StarFox is in the film. 

The Pokémon Company and Nintendo have now officially announced the release date for the upcoming Pokémon Champions Releases on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 alongside a brand new overview trailer. 

Happy Mario Day, LEGO Super Mario minifigs have been officially announced! Just when you thought the Mario reveals were done for the day, Nintendo and LEGO have just released a new teaser video on social announcing all-new Super Mario minifigs and sets. 

Mario Day is still in full swing, but at this point in the afternoon just about all of the excitement we are going to be getting is out in the wild now. From a plethora of Switch and Switch 2 game deals and price drops on express microSD cards for your Switch 2, to the all-new LEGO Mario Kart reveal and the release date announcement for the new Yoshi game, all of the most noteworthy and exciting Mario Day 2026 festivities await below.

While it might not exactly be a new Mario game, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book was reaveled as part of the initial Mario 40th anniversary and we are getting a new gameplay overview trailer today alongside the official release date. 

Happy Mario Day 2026! MAR10 Day has officially arrived and with it we have giant selection of Nintendo Switch game deals, an all-new trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the release of some classic Mario games, LEGO deals, and there’s even more to come.

Let’s-a-go!

Mario Day 2026 is already in full swing with up to 50% off physical Switch games and the annual eShop sale now live, not to mention these LEGO sets and a return all-time low on Samsung’s officially-licensed 256GB Switch 2 Express microSD, but it is now time for the Mario Day Direct. This year, with the theatrical release quickly approaching, Nintendo is set to host a dedicated Super Mario Galaxy Movie Direct showcase and it goes live very soon. 

While we might not have got an official Nintendo Switch 2 bundle deal specifically for MAR10 this year, there are loads of official game deals now live a retail and the eShop. We have also already put together a lengthy list of discounted Nintendo LEGO sets and featured a solid deal on the officially-licensed 256GB Express microSD so you can expand your Switch 2 storage at a new all-time low. Scope it all out below. 

We have already featured the digital Switch game Mario Day 2026 deals, but today the physical Switch game deals are going live. All of the titles Nintendo advertised in its official announcements are now ready to go at up to 50% off – you’ll find these deals live at Amazon, Target, Best Buy and others. 

Nobody likes tariffs (almost nobody anyway), and neither does Nintendo. According to reports flooding the interwebs today, Nintendo has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government to get back some of those golden coins it lost when tariffs initially went in place ahead of the Switch 2 launch. 

The Mario 2026 festivities are in full swing already, with game sales already live on the eShop, Amazon, and at Best Buy. And with this year’s celebration landing in honor of the 40th anniversary of the Super Mario Bros. game and the upcoming release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Nintendo has announced the next Nintendo Direct dedicated to Mario’s upcoming big screen adventure. 

Nintendo has now officially announced its Mario Day 2026 plans and has already launched this year’s official eShop sale. However, Amazon and Best Buy have now launched Mario Day 2026 Switch game deals and you’ll now find a selection of first-party Nintendo titles marked down in digital form. There will still be a collection of physical games deals going live at Best Buy and elsewhere this weekend (March 8 at most retailers online), but the digital offers are already live:

• Luigi’s Mansion 3 $40 (Reg. $60)
• Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury$40 (Reg. $60)
• Donkey Kong Country Returns HD $42 (Reg. $60)

• And even more…

Nintendo has now officially announced its Mario Day 2026 plans and, while we will have to wait a few more days for the official physical game deals to hit, the 2026 Mar10 Day eShop is now live!

We got an early look at the official Nintendo MAR10 Day Switch game deals already this morning, but Nintendo has now issued an official press release detailing its complete Mario Day 2026 plans. This year is in honor of the 40th anniversary of the Super Mario Bros. game and the upcoming release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie on April 1, but there’s a whole lot more than that. Check it all out below. 

After much speculation and some early announcements, it appears the official MAR10 Day deals have now landed online. While the announcement is yet to hit the Nintendo news page at this point, key art of the deals has now surfaced online we have the goods for you below. 

We recently got hints at what’s to come for Mario Day 2026 here in the U.S. from an official Nintendo Australia post about the upcoming Switch 2 console bundle, and Best Buy Canada might have just given us a closer look at the upcoming deals. 

Mario Day 2026 is fast approaching with new reveals, deals, and game announcements already warping in. Nintendo has just announced a collection of new Mario titles landing in the Nintendo Classics library, retailers are already primed with upcoming events, and we already have a hint at this year’s Mario Day Switch 2 console bundle. But there’s plenty more to come as we set to celebrate the Mushroom Kingdom and beyond on Mario Day 2026. 

Mario Day 2026 is right around the corner and while we are expecting an details from Nintendo at any moment, the official international announcement of this year’s Mario Day Switch 2 bundle might give us a good idea of what to expect. 

Mario Day 2026 is quickly approaching and while we are still awaiting official plans from Nintendo on this year’s celebration, we do have an idea of what to expect and we now have some details on what GameStop is cooking up. And what GameStop is cooking up is a giant Mario costume party, a chance to score a FREE Nintendo Switch 2, and FREE $5 store credits for everyone. 

The the 2026 Pokémon Day festivities and Pokémon Presents  (mostly) behind us now, it’s time for today’s Direct. More specifically, and as we reported tomorrow, Nintendo is set to host a new IndieWorld showcase this morning and it goes live very soon.
