A well-known game whistleblower recently revealed that two of Nintendo's blockbuster works - "Pokemon: Wind/Wave" and a new 3D "Super Mario" game, have been internally planned to be released in September and November 2027 respectively. This news quickly attracted widespread attention from the player community.
"Pokémon: Storm/Wave" was officially announced at a Pokémon direct meeting on "Pokémon Day" on February 27 this year. The official only confirmed that the game will be released in 2027, without giving a specific time window. For some players, this long waiting period is gratifying, especially after the release of "Pokémon: Crimson/Purple" after technical problems; but there are also fans who were eagerly anticipating the tenth generation of the main game (Gen 10) who are disappointed. The game will be released about five years after the release of the ninth generation, so it is expected to be extremely popular.
In contrast, the wait for "Super Mario" fans is even longer. Since the release of "Super Mario Odyssey" in 2017, Nintendo has not released a new 3D Mario sequel for nearly ten years. The new 3D "Super Mario" revealed this time is scheduled to be released in November 2027, which just fills the long-standing expectations of fans.
According to information posted on social media by Centro Leaks, a well-known leak information aggregation account, the above-mentioned release month information came from an anonymous whistleblower with the pseudonym "Billy". This source has previously accurately leaked the complete list of games and conference content for "Pokémon Day" in 2026, which is highly credible. This revelation is also consistent with earlier rumors that "Pokémon: Storm/Wave" will be released in late 2027.
From the perspective of commercial rhythm, the Pokémon series usually chooses to be released during the year-end holidays, but there have been exceptions in recent years, such as "Pokémon Legends Arceus" in January 2022 and "Pokémon Legends Z-A" in October 2025. If "Pokémon: Storm/Wave" is scheduled to be released in September 2027, and the DLC will be released in December, and November is reserved for Mario's new game, this arrangement is reasonable.
In addition, September 13th is the anniversary of the "Super Mario" series. Some people believe that Nintendo may reveal this new 3D Mario game planned to be released in 2027 for the first time at the anniversary node.
