Overview
- Multiple insiders report a ground-up remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Switch 2 that is targeted for late 2026 as a holiday release.
- A new Star Fox entry is rumored as a classic on-rails shooter with multiplayer that could arrive this summer, and Nintendo has officially confirmed Fox McCloud appears in the Super Mario Galaxy movie.
- A leaker known as Shpeshal Nick says a limited-edition Zelda-themed Switch 2 console is planned, with some reports suggesting it could land before the remake.
- Former Nintendo PR manager Kit Ellis said the company is “furious” about the recent leak of its 2026–2027 slate and predicted a stronger crackdown, while noting nothing has been verified.
- The same leak network says no main Nintendo Direct is expected before June 2026 and a new 3D Mario is likely in 2027, which shapes expectations for the Switch 2 lineup and Nintendo’s surprise-first marketing style.
