The rumors of a 35th-anniversary event for the Super Mario Bros. franchise could be true, as fans have found a Twitter account that could be used for an upcoming celebration.
The original Super Mario Bros. game was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System on September 13, 1985. The game was released in North America in the same year, but the exact release date has been lost to history. This means that 2020 will be the 35th anniversary of the series, and there have been numerous rumors regarding a huge celebration on Nintendo’s part. We have already seen a number of Super Mario Bros. Lego sets that are due to be released this year, but there have been persistent rumors that every 3D Mario game is coming to the Switch. The exact line-up has been debated, but it’s looking likely that Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine , and the Super Mario Galaxy games will be coming to the Switch this year.
It’s possible that Nintendo is already preparing social media accounts for the 35th anniversary Super Mario Bros. celebrations. According to NintendoLife, fans have found a Twitter account that appears to be linked to an official Nintendo email, with the @supermario35th name.
The Twitter account is currently set to private and it has made no posts. It was created back in March, which was around the time when the 35th anniversary Super Mario Bros. rumors started to circulate the Internet. It has yet to be confirmed whether this account is official or not, as the name could have been snagged by a random person when the rumors began.
The Nintendo Switch’s 2020 schedule is looking empty, especially with Paper Mario: The Origami King set to be released within the next few days. There are rumors that a Nintendo Direct is due to take place on July 20, and it’s likely that any Super Mario Bros. announcement will happen there, as they will have to be released in a few months in order to coincide with the release date of the original game.
