Nintendo Rumored to Launch New Super Mario Bros. Collection for Switch in 2024

As Super Mario Bros.

approaches its landmark 40th anniversary later this year, Nintendo fans around the world are eagerly anticipating the company's official plans to honor one of gaming's most iconic franchises.

The original Super Mario Bros., released in 1985 for the Famicom and NES, not only established Nintendo as a household name but also helped define the platformer genre and laid the groundwork for decades of innovation in video game design. Recent discussions within the gaming community have centered on reports that Nintendo is preparing a new compilation featuring classic titles from the beloved New Super Mario Bros.

series.

According to reputed industry insider John Skinny—who has accurately provided information related to previous Nintendo hardware, including details about the successor to the Nintendo Switch—documentation and partial localization assets reviewed through a contractor quality assurance team indicate a New Super Mario Bros.

collection is in the works for Nintendo Switch. Based on the available evidence, the proposed collection is expected to include: - New Super Mario Bros.

(Nintendo DS) - New Super Mario Bros.

Wii (Wii) - New Super Mario Bros.

2 (Nintendo 3DS) Such a collection would emulate the successful strategy Nintendo employed for Super Mario’s 35th anniversary with the release of Super Mario 3D All-Stars, which bundled together Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy.

That compilation, first announced during a Nintendo Direct and launched both physically and on the Nintendo Switch eShop, achieved strong sales but was also met with criticism due to its limited-time availability. If the reported New Super Mario Bros.

collection becomes a reality, it would provide longtime fans and newcomers a timely opportunity to experience these modern 2D classics on a single platform.

The New Super Mario Bros.

series has played a significant role in bringing side-scrolling Mario adventures to new generations, starting with the original DS release in 2006, which sold over 30 million copies worldwide, and continuing with its Wii and 3DS sequels. Nintendo has not yet officially confirmed details about a 40th anniversary New Super Mario Bros.

collection or announced a celebratory Nintendo Direct.

Nonetheless, the company has a rich tradition of marking major anniversaries with special releases and events.

Whether on the Nintendo Switch hardware or potentially on its successor, such a collection would serve as both a nostalgic tribute and an accessible way for today's gamers to revisit Mario’s 2D legacy. As the anniversary approaches, keep an eye on official Nintendo news channels and upcoming Nintendo Direct presentations for possible announcements regarding this highly anticipated collection.

With Super Mario Bros.

standing as one of the best-selling and most culturally significant franchises in video game history, expectations for Nintendo’s 40th anniversary celebration remain sky-high.
