Nintendo has revealed that a Super Mario Bros. Wonder Direct will be taking place later this week to show off the upcoming Mario game.
When is the Super Mario Bros. Wonder Direct?
A tweet from Nintendo of America revealed that the Super Mario Bros. Wonder Direct will take place on Thursday, August 31 at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET. It will last for approximately 15 minutes and will provide an “in-depth look at Mario’s latest 2D side-scrolling adventure.”
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is set to release on the Nintendo Switch on Friday, October 20. The game features up to four-person multiplayer and features Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Toad, and Yoshi as playable characters. It’s the first new Super Mario Bros. 2D side-scrolling platform since 2012’s New Super Mario Bros. U, which released for the Wii U.
“Classic Mario side-scrolling gameplay is turned on its head with the addition of Wonder Flowers,” reads the game’s description. “These game-changing items trigger spectacular moments you have to see to believe … Witness pipes coming alive, wreak havoc as a giant spiky ball, and see even more unexpected events called Wonder Effects.”
