I thought I recall them talking about working on SMO2 like several years ago (before Switch 2 was announced, obv). I’ll see if I can find a link…
But I didn’t know that about the DK game, that’s good to know.
Edit: ok, found what I was thinking about. Apparently, back in like 2019 or something, Nintendo confirmed on Twitter that they were hiring for a new 2D, and a new 3D Mario game (I imagine the 2D game was Super Mario Wonder).
So they never confirmed or denied that the 3D Mario game was SMO2, but it seemed likely at the time.
Maybe they ended up changing course and doing DK instead?
