Shigeru Miyamoto recently shared his thoughts on the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy movie, which is set to hit theaters next year. He’s optimistic about the collaboration between Illumination and Nintendo, hinting that the sequel will delve into galactic themes, though plot details are still a mystery.
Reflecting on Mario's 40-year legacy, Miyamoto noted the importance of keeping the essence of the character alive, especially after the successful transition to 3D with Super Mario 64. Even though he’s more of an advisor now, he still stays involved in the early stages of new games to ensure they capture what makes Mario special.
As Mario approaches its 50th anniversary, Miyamoto is curious about how the franchise will continue to evolve, especially with potential new console launches. With Mario branching out into films and theme parks, where do you think the character should go next?
