Pyoro has a strong track record when it comes to Nintendo leaks, including outing Super Mario Bros. Wonder ahead of its official announcement, and teasing F-Zero news the week before Nintendo announced the first new series entry in almost two decades.

A visually enhanced version of Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, which was originally released for Nintendo 3DS in 2023, was announced last June. Titled Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, it’s set for release on Switch this summer.

Announced in September 2023, the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake will also arrive this year, two decades after the game was originally released for GameCube.

The Thousand-Year Door, which sees Mario trying to rescue Peach from a group of aliens called the X-Nauts, has a cult following among fans, many of whom believe it’s the best RPG in the Mario series.
