Mario Galaxy Blasts Back: Switch 2 Revival + Movie Sequel!

Nintendo just fired a nostalgia-fueled Super Star straight into our hearts. In their latest Direct, they confirmed that Super Mario Galaxy and Galaxy 2 are both being revived for Switch 2 — complete with polished visuals, smoother controls, and the promise of cosmic chaos at buttery frame rates. These aren’t just lazy ports either; Nintendo clearly wants one of Mario’s most beloved eras to define the Switch 2’s launch years. If you missed Galaxy back on the Wii, this is your chance to experience what many still call the peak of 3D Mario design.

But wait, there’s more — Nintendo also revealed that a Mario Galaxy movie sequel is in production. That’s right, Illumination is blasting off into space for round two. Expect Rosalina, Lumas, and yes, probably Bowser’s Broadway-level singing again whether you asked for it or not. Considering the first Mario movie basically printed money, this sequel could launch a full-blown Mario Cinematic Universe that rivals Marvel in box office domination.

Between the games and the movie, it’s clear Nintendo isn’t just leaning on nostalgia — they’re doubling down on Mario as both a gaming and cultural juggernaut. Galaxy is back in orbit, and it’s not just for longtime fans; it’s a statement that the Switch 2 is going to be the console where Nintendo flexes its absolute best.

👉 TL;DR: Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 are coming to Switch 2, and a Galaxy-themed movie sequel is on the way. Mario isn’t just back — he’s going interstellar.
