Mario, one of the world's most popular video game characters, has seen limited new main series adventures recently. According to a recent analysis, there has been only one completely new main series Mario game released in the last eight years.
The analysis highlights a slowdown in original main series releases for the iconic plumber character. Despite Mario's enduring popularity, he has not embarked on many solo adventures in recent times. This observation comes amid Nintendo's broader portfolio, which includes various spin-offs and collaborations, but focuses specifically on completely new entries in the core Super Mario lineup.
The report underscores the rarity of fresh main series titles, with just one such game emerging over the past eight years. This trend reflects a period of relative quiet for Mario's primary storyline developments, even as the franchise remains a cornerstone of the gaming industry.
