A new report from a well-known leak source has suggested that both Pokemon Winds and Waves and Nintendo’s next major 3D Super Mario adventure are internally targeting releases in the second half of 2027.
While Pokemon Winds and Waves has already been officially confirmed for 2027, Nintendo has yet to announce a new 3D Mario title. Despite that, rumors surrounding Mario’s return have continued to surface over the past several years, with multiple reports pointing toward a brand-new adventure arriving sometime next year.
Pokemon Winds and Waves May Arrive in September 2027
Pokemon fans received their first look at Pokemon Winds and Waves during the Pokemon Presents broadcast held on February 27. Although The Pokemon Company confirmed a 2027 launch window, no exact release period was announced.
According to information shared by leak aggregator Centro Leaks, an anonymous source known as Billy claims that Pokemon Winds and Waves is currently planned for September 2027. The source has built a strong reputation within the Pokemon community after accurately revealing information surrounding Pokemon Day 2026 announcements.
The reported timing would also align with another earlier rumor suggesting that the games were targeting the latter part of 2027.
Many players welcomed the extended development period following the technical issues that surrounded Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. With Generation 10 arriving approximately five years after Gen 9, expectations for the next era of Pokemon are exceptionally high.
New 3D Super Mario Game Allegedly Planned for November
The same report claims Nintendo’s next 3D Mario title is targeting November 2027.
If accurate, the release would come exactly ten years after the launch of Super Mario Odyssey, which debuted in 2017. Since then, fans have been waiting for Nintendo to reveal the next major chapter in the series.
Although Nintendo has remained silent about a new 3D Mario game, numerous leaks and rumors have suggested that a successor to Odyssey has been in development for quite some time.
The reported November release window would also create a strong holiday lineup, allowing Pokemon Winds and Waves and Mario to avoid competing directly with each other.
A Potential Reveal During Mario’s Anniversary
Super Mario celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, with September 13 marking four decades since the franchise’s beginnings.
Because of this milestone, some fans believe Nintendo could use the occasion to officially unveil its next big 3D Mario project. However, Nintendo has not announced any such plans, and there is currently no confirmation regarding when the game might be revealed.
Fans Should Treat the Information as Rumor
Despite the source’s impressive history, this information remains unconfirmed.
Development schedules frequently change, and release targets can shift months or even years before launch. While September and November 2027 appear to make sense from a business perspective, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company have not publicly committed to these specific dates.
For now, players eager for both Pokemon Winds and Waves and Mario’s next 3D adventure should view these claims with cautious optimism until official announcements arrive.
