Color Splash contains elements of the action-adventure and role-playing (RPG) genres. Players control Mario, as he traverses through levels made to look like craft materials, reaching endpoints and retrieving each Big Paint Star through linear gameplay. Mario is equipped with a paint hammer, which is used to solved coloring-theme puzzles and collect awards in levels. In turn-based combat phases, Mario uses a selection of cards that endow him with attacks and other abilities.
Nintendo's overall vision for the Paper Mario series following Paper Mario: Sticker Star was to differentiate it from their other RPG Mario series, Mario & Luigi. To do so, the development team focused on puzzle-solving and comedic elements, and to make each game different from one another, emphasize an overarching gimmick. The idea for a paint-themed game came from Atsushi Isano, the director for Intelligent Systems. It was developed to take advantage of the Wii U and its gamepad. A card-based battle system was implemented to utilize the GamePad's touchscreen to sort, paint, and flick cards. The artists heavily focused on making the in-game paper textures appear as realistic as possible. Color Splash was announced via a Nintendo Direct in March 2016, and released worldwide in October 2016.
Upon the game's reveal, Color Splash was met with controversy for continuing an action-adventure and gimmick-oriented format introduced in Sticker Star. On release, however, the game received generally positive reception from critics, praising its graphics, soundtrack, and improved dialogue. Conversely, the combat system and its lack of RPG elements were criticized, much like its predecessor, although some critics cited some improvements to its structure. The game was followed with Paper Mario: The Origami King for the Nintendo Switch in 2020.
Minecraft is a sandbox video game developed by Mojang Studios. The game was created by Markus "Notch" Persson in the Java programming language. Following several early private testing versions, it was first made public in May 2009 before fully releasing in November 2011, with Notch stepping down and Jens "Jeb" Bergensten taking over development. Minecraft has since been ported to several other platforms and is the best-selling video game of all time, with over 238 million copies sold and nearly 140 million monthly active users as of 2021.
In Minecraft, players explore a blocky, procedurally generated 3D world with virtually infinite terrain, and may discover and extract raw materials, craft tools and items, and build structures, earthworks and simple machines. Depending on game mode, players can fight computer-controlled mobs, as well as cooperate with or compete against other players in the same world. Game modes include a survival mode, in which players must acquire resources to build the world and maintain health, and a creative mode where players have unlimited resources and access to flight. Players can modify the game to create new gameplay mechanics, items, and assets.
Minecraft received critical acclaim, winning several awards and later being cited as one of the greatest video games of all time.

The untitled Mario film is an upcoming computer-animated film to be produced by Illumination in association with Nintendo, with distribution by Universal Pictures. It is the third feature film adaptation of Nintendo's Mario video game series, following the 1986 Japanese-only anime film Super Mario Bros.: The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach! and the 1993 live-action film Super Mario Bros. The film is being directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic from a screenplay by Matthew Fogel and features an ensemble voice cast including Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, Seth Rogen, Fred Armisen, Kevin Michael Richardson, Sebastian Maniscalco, and Charles Martinet.
After the critical and commercial failure of the 1993 film, Nintendo was reluctant to license its intellectual properties for film adaptations. Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto became interested in developing another Mario film when Nintendo was bringing its older games to the Virtual Console service, and through Nintendo's work with Universal Parks & Resorts to create Mario-based attractions he met Illumination founder Chris Meledandri. By 2016, the two were discussing a Mario film, and in January 2018 Nintendo announced that it would collaborate with Illumination and Universal to produce it. Production was underway by 2020.
The film is scheduled to be released in the United States on April 7, 2023.

In May 2021, Furukawa said that Nintendo was interested in producing more animated films based on its IP if the Mario film is successful. The following November, reports emerged that Illumination was developing a Donkey Kong spin-off film, with Rogen set to reprise his role. In February 2022, Charlie Day expressed interest in doing a Luigi's Mansion movie.
Nintendo�s animated Super Mario Bros. movie is delayed until next spring, still stars Chris Pratt
The movie will be released in North America on April 7th, 2023.
During a Nintendo Direct event last fall, the company revealed a release date for the animated Super Mario Bros. movie that it�s making with Minions animation studio Illumination. Now the company has revealed that the movie will not hit theaters on December 21st as planned and instead will be released in the spring of 2023.
A tweet credited to Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto says that after consulting with co-producer Chris Meledandri, the new release dates for the Super Mario Bros. film are April 28th in Japan and April 7th in North America. The tweet did not offer an explanation of how Chris Pratt will portray Mario, a title, or answer any of the other questions we�ve had since this project was announced in 2018.
Other cast members who have been confirmed for the flick include Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Seth Rogan as Donkey Kong, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, and Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong. Longtime Mario voice actor Charles Martinet will also be a part of the movie, although it�s unclear exactly how.
Miyamoto promised the movie will be �well worth the wait,� and we only have to look at the success of the first Sonic the Hedgehog movie to see how true that can be. The first movie needed a three-month delay so animators could fix Sonic after viewers recoiled at the first trailer, and when it came out, the movie was a hit. There�s no indication of similar issues with the Mario movie, while we still don�t know much about it, Deadline reports that the delay is about �optimizing the family audience� with a release on Easter weekend next year. That it could potentially sync up with the opening of the first US Super Nintendo World theme park and Nintendo�s sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is just a bonus.
