The animated film recently broke the $1 billion mark at the box office and is already one of the highest-grossing animated films of all time with a chance to make a bit more before it leaves movie theaters.
With the success of the movie comes new rumors that Nintendo is preparing to release new games for the iconic franchise. According to the newest rumor, the company may be developing four Super Mario games. The games reportedly include a new mainline entry, spin-offs, and a remaster.
This new rumor comes from Zippo, a reliable Nintendo insider that has given us some accurate scoops in the past. Zippo claims that a new 2D Super Mario game is in development and will be released soon.
