Nintendo has announced the beloved Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 are headed to Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, as part of Super Mario’s 40th anniversary celebrations.
Both titles will arrive as a combined release, on October 2, 2025. Intriguingly, these fresh additions will include fresh pages of Rosalina’s in-game storybook — which contains some very interesting lore for the character.
Shigeru Miyamoto made the announcement today during the company’s major Nintendo Direct, which also offered a first look at The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the upcoming sequel to the smash-hit Super Mario Movie that’s due to launch next spring. Presumably the new storybook pages will tie into The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’s plot, somehow.
Accompanying the release will be a pair of new Super Mario Galaxy amiibo, though their features are as-yet unknown. These will arrive a little later, on April 2, 2026.
Other announcements including sponsorship of the Kyoto Marathon 2026 and a fresh design for the Nintendo Museum ticket.
