Renowned leaker Midori revealed that two-game codenames were discovered in a Nintendo leak, pointing out two new titles coming soon from the company. First, there is a game codenamed "SPRed," and the leaker further detailed that "Red" is Nintendo's insider code for "Mario."

"SP" remains unknown, and while this alone does not give any intricate details, Midori revealed that it could be a new 3D Mario game from Nintendo. Additionally, SPRed was claimed to be the one currently under development by Nintendo.

On the other hand, there is also the "SilverStar" codename from Nintendo, and it was unveiled that 2017's Super Mario Odyssey was previously codenamed "RedStar." Although Midori didn't provide any additional details, this second leak suggests that it might be a sequel to or related to Odyssey.

Are They for Nintendo's Switch 2 Console?
