Here’s hoping you didn’t have anything else planned for your weekend, as Nintendo has announced a surprise Super Mario Galaxy Movie Nintendo Direct for this coming Sunday.
A weekend Nintendo Direct is pretty much unheard of, but the company will hold one this Sunday, January 25 at 6am Pacific time / 9am Eastern / 2pm UK time, to reveal new details of its upcoming animated movie sequel.
Back in November, the movie had another dedicated Nintendo Direct that confirmed the film will introduce Rosalina to the big screen, voiced by Marvel star Brie Larson. Another new addition to the animated ensemble will be Bowser Jr., here voiced by Benny Safdie.
That Direct opened with the first-ever full trailer for the film, which you see just above. The movie was revealed to begin with Bowser still trapped by the Mario brothers, as seen in the previous Super Mario Bros. Movie. However, Bowser Jr. soon appears — keen to set his beloved papa free.
