Although it was certainly no surprise to seeSuper Mario 3D Worldjoin a slew of other popular Wii U games by coming to the Nintendo Switch, the biggest surprise came at the end of the game’s reveal trailer, briefly alluding to the mysteriousBowser’s Furyaddition.

Today, the official Nintendo of America Twitter account announced that a new trailer forSuper Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Furywill be released tomorrow. Although not much was revealed about what the trailer will consist of, it is safe to assume thatBowser’s Furywill finally be revealed, as Nintendo mentioned that “Bowser’s Fury will be unleashed” in this brand new trailer.
This announcement follows a recent update to theSuper Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Furywebsite, stating thatmore information would come soon.The new trailer will premiere tomorrow, January 12, at 6 am PT. Nintendo also specifically noted that the trailer will be rather short, lasting for 2 minutes. Many fans are both excited for new information but also puzzled, as some have noted that it is interesting to see Nintendo announce a trailer ahead of time instead of just releasing it outright, as they have recently done forPaper Mario: The Origami Kingand the Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary Direct. Either way, those looking forward to learning Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Furyare surely in for a treat tomorrow.
While this news is exciting, it does carry the implication that Nintendo may not actually be planning aNintendo Direct for this monthwhich has been rumored as of late. While this seems like a trailer Nintendo could easily include in a longer Nintendo Direct presentation, it is possible that it wants to draw as much attention to the game as possible by releasing this new trailer on its own.
Many have speculated as towhat exactlyBowser’s Furycould be,whether a new game mode, additional worlds for the game, or even adding the ability to play as King Koopa himself. Hopefully, those questions and more are answered in tomorrow’s trailer.
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Furylaunches February 12, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
