Nintendo Fans Celebrate the Announcement of the Super Mario Manga Mania Adaptation

By Marc Deschamps - March 31, 2020 11:53 pm EDT

It's been a great week for Mario fans. Yesterday, rumors began to circulate about a handful of 3D Mario games coming to Nintendo Switch. While that alone was exciting enough, today, VIZ Media surprised fans with the announcement of Super Mario Manga Mania, an upcoming compilation of handpicked Super Mario-Kun stories that have thus far remained exclusive to Japan. The announcement came as a major surprise, particularly since the manga has existed since 1991, and this is the first official, English adaptation of the series. As such, fans are quite excited about the collection, though some are a bit hesitant about the "handpicked" aspect.
