The game is set to release on February 12 along with a new expansion, Bowser's Fury. It's also worth noting that, unlike the Wii U version, 3D World will have online multiplayer on Switch. Originally released on the Wii U, 3D World is seen by some as one of the most underrated Mario titles of the past few years. Announced back in September, Super Mario 3D World Deluxe will be heading to the Switch in 2021. However, fans already know when they can get their hands on the next Mario title. It'll be difficult for 2021 to carry the same type of excitement as Mario's 35th anniversary, but this year should offer plenty of great Super Mario titles.Īs always, Nintendo has kept its lips sealed in terms of upcoming releases, so there isn't much known about 2021's Switch game release schedule. From new ports of classic titles, like Mario 3D All-Stars, to cutting-edge toys featuring everyone's favorite plumber, like LEGO Super Marioand Mario Kart: Home Circuit, 2020 was filled with new ways to play as Mario.

COVID-19 caused some setbacks in the possible celebrations, but Mario's anniversary still managed to go off with a bang.

While 2020 may have been his 35th anniversary, every year is the year of Mario for Nintendo, and 2021 doesn't seem like it will be any exception.
