Nintendo will hold a special livestream tomorrow, Tuesday February 24, detailing more information on its upcoming Mario and Pokémon games for Switch 2.
Tune in at 2pm Pacific / 5pm Eastern / 10pm UK time for an in-depth look at Super Mario Bros. Wonder — Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park, plus Pokémon Pokopia.
Both games are set to debut in the coming months exclusively for Switch 2, and interestingly Nintendo has decided to promote them both in a dedicated Nintendo Treehouse: Live presentation that’s set to last around 80 minutes.
Originally released for the original Switch back in 2023, Super Mario Bros. Wonder sees Nintendo’s usual sidescrolling formula mixed with some psychedelic additions. This new Switch 2 version gives the base game a graphical polish, and adds the multiplayer-focused Bellabel Park to the mix, with a range of cooperative and competitive minigames to be played with others via local wireless and online.
Oh, and Rosalina gets invited in as another playable character — just in time for her big screen debut in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Super Mario Bros. Wonder — Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park is currently slated to arrive on March 26.
Pokémon Pokopia, meanwhile, is the promising life simulation spin-off that looks to mix Animal Crossing gameplay with a surprising amount of familiar Pokémon. You play as a Ditto, disguised as a human avatar, which allows you to learn and copy Pokémon abilities to tame a wild and rundown landscape and turn it into a cosy home for you and your fellow creatures.
Our recent impressions of the game were positive, and we’re keen to find out more — including what the deal is with those intriguing new unique Pokémon, such as Mosslax. Pokémon Pokopia is currently set to launch on March 5.
For more on both games, tune in to Nintendo Treehouse: Live tomorrow — and keep an eye on IGN where we’ll have all of the new details for you.
