First look at Super Mario Bros. movie coming in new Nintendo Direct

polygon.com:

Nintendo will broadcast a new Nintendo Direct presentation on Thursday, Oct. 6, a digital event that will introduce the world premiere trailer for The Super Mario Bros.Movie. To whet the appetites of Mario fans, Nintendo and Illumination offered a glimpse of Mario’s new animated adventure in the form of a new teaser poster — one that offers a fairly detailed look at the film’s visual style.

And it sure looks a lot like a modern-day Super Mario Bros. game. Mario, standing strong in his trademark blue overalls and red cap, gazes up at Princess Peach’s castle from the streets of the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario is surrounded by a group of Toads just going about their day, but there’s at least one good visual gag: an antiques store selling classic Super Mario Bros. items, including pixelated P-switches and note blocks.

Thursday’s Nintendo Direct focusing on The Super Mario Bros. Movie will stream on YouTube at 4:05 p.m. EDT/1:05 p.m. PDT, and Nintendo warns that “no game information will be featured” during the presentation.
