In its official reveal trailer for its upcoming console, Switch, Nintendo has teased the possibility of a new 3D Super Mario title being in development for the system.

The teaser video showed several seconds of footage featuring the company’s mascot traversing a couple of previously unseen, and gloriously colourful, environments. Screenshots taken from the the trailer suggest that the title may be a platformer similar to the likes of Super Mario 3D World – though with the camera following the player from behind – featuring ‘wide linear’ levels rather than a fully open world adventure.

Of course, the footage in question may merely be representative of a Nintendo Switch tech demo or a mockup for the purposes of the promotional trailer. We won’t know more until an official announcement is forthcoming.
