First Look At The New Super Mario Bros. Movie Revealed, Direct Coming October 6
Our first look at the Mario movie is fast-approaching and Nintendo has decided to mark the occasion by giving the movie its very own Nintendo Direct which airs on October 6. Along with the announcement, Nintendo also gave fans a poster to pour over, featuring Mario stood in a bustling town far below Peach’s Castle which looms over him.
