Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Friday that leaker NateTheHate expects a summer Star Fox and a holiday Ocarina of Time remake for Switch 2, a lineup VGC says its own sources support, though Nintendo has not confirmed any of it.
- The Star Fox project is described as a classic on-rails shooter with online multiplayer targeting summer 2026, with an April reveal floated after Fox McCloud’s Super Mario Galaxy Movie cameo.
- Ocarina of Time is tipped for the second half of 2026 as a major Zelda release, with Nate calling it a full remake rather than a simple HD remaster.
- The next mainline 3D Mario is now expected in 2027, shifting a tentpole many assumed would headline Switch 2 in 2026.
- Nate also says a broad Nintendo Direct is unlikely before June, so smaller updates on titles like Splatoon Raiders and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave may surface on social channels in the meantime.
