Last November saw Nintendo drop fresh footage of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie along with unseen making-of clips, following up its 2023 smash. With release day just around the corner, word now breaks of another online showcase – likely diving deeper than before. This one lands on a Saturday morning instead of the usual weekday slot: January 25 at 6 a.m. Pacific, 9 a.m. Eastern. Viewers can catch every moment live through Nintendo’s official YouTube page linked above.
On top of that, every message tied to this Direct made one thing obvious: it only covers details about the film. Should anyone expect news about a new game or crossover release, they might leave let down; right there on Nintendo’s site, the event description says flat out “Please note that no game information will be included in this presentation.”
A fresh peek at The Super Mario Galaxy Movie gave a glimpse of key newcomers – Rosalina, brought to life by Brie Larson, alongside Bowser Jr., voiced by Benny Safdie. From there, insights came straight from Shigeru Miyamoto, serving as executive producer, together with Chris Meledandri, head of Illumination, revealing how close the team stood to wrapping up production, just weeks from final polish. If more of this universe pulls you in, consider watching the initial teaser for the film, diving into playthroughs of the recently launched combo pack featuring both Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel, or turning pages through Game Informer’s thoughts on The Super Mario Bros. Movie instead.
