What do you think the Mario franchise has in store for 2020, in terms of games?

It's almost three months in 2020, but thus far, there aren't any Mario games (or DK, Yoshi or Wario, for that matter) announced for this year, This is interesting since most of the time the last year will have some announcement for next year, but in 2019 there weren't any Mario games announced for 2020. There are practically only these things known thus far:
1) Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, the arcade edition, which is a version of the Mario & Sonic on the Switch
2) Luigi's Mansion's DLC packs
(And then there are the updates for Mario's mobile games)

So let's make a prediction and guess what's in store for the rest of the year. Personally, I am hoping that a new Mario Golf is in the cards because that's my preferred sport over Tennis.

Thank you for reading.
 
I would like to see another Mario Golf game since there hasn't been one on a home console after Toadstool Tour. A Strikers or Baseball game would be nice to see, too.

Maybe the Switch port of Mario 3D World will happen. I'm still surprised that a NSMBU Switch port happened before SM3DW. (For that there will probably be some new characters and levels and hopefully online multiplayer).

Oh, and maybe there might be some special game to celebrate 35 years of Mario.

I think a Paper Mario game is a safe bet. Hopefully it'll be a Paper Mario game that I've been waiting for since 2007, with an original story, villains, partners, and chapters. Not another game where the story is an afterthought to the mediocre gameplay gimmick.
 
I want a new genre or a genre Mario hasn't done in a while. I'm tired of Mario games getting sequels to the same genres over and over and over again. Remember in the GCN era where Mario experimented with a bunch of them and we got DDR, Mario Strikers, and Mario Baseball as a result? And also, I want more Mario games with bigger character rosters, preferably those with Baby Luigi playable.

We got Mario + Rabbids, which was amazing, it gave the Mario series a breath of fresh air by having characters beat up Rabbids with guns XCOM style, and that's amazing.

Like, an FPS Mario game.


Or a new rhythm Mario game. Or an RTS. Or even an action-based Mario RPG (we didn't necessarily need two turn-based JRPGs, I kinda see the point where devs questioned the need for both Mario & Luigi and Paper Mario). I want something entirely new rather than seeing sequels over and over again. Something that would make me excited for a Mario game again.

If they don't want something new, slap Baby Luigi in a new Mario Golf game or Mario Party or whatever, that's the friggin least they can do.
 
i hope for mario odyssey 2 at least though im not sure how likely that is. also mario + rabbids 2 (mainly because i want a mario and rayman crossover and thatd work)
3d world port and paper mario both seem pretty likely too!!! besides that i really dont know what were gettin. i hope a direct is soon so we actually KNOW
 
I want to see a new installment in the Mario and Luigi series. Yes it's unfortunate that Alphadreams is shut down, but hopefully Nintendo will trust this Mario series to another company who can pull off a great entry. *coughObsidian

i'll reword that

A GOOD action-based RPG not based on any existing Mario IP (ie Mario & Luigi and Paper Mario)
 
A side scrolling beat em up as a cheaper digital only Mario game would be nice.
