It’s-a big hit! Super Mario Bros. movie credited with sales push for Nintendo games

Not only did The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which premiered in April 2023, make a lot of money, Nintendo says it even gave a noticeable sales boost to associated Nintendo titles over the past 12 months.

In its latest quarterly report to investors, Nintendo said that the film “had a positive impact on sales of Mario related titles,” and credited it with a sales performance that saw 31 video games for Nintendo Switch sell more than a million copies over its fiscal year, which runs from April 1 to March 31.
