The Nintendo rumor mill is spinning at top speed, and if the latest leaks are to be believed, the Switch 2 era is shaping up to be legendary—literally.
NateTheHate, a leaker who recently solidified his "trusted" status by accurately predicting the Switch 2 reveal date, just dropped a massive info-dump on his latest podcast. While there’s plenty to celebrate, there’s also a bit of a wait ahead for a certain mustachioed plumber.
The Big Bombshells
According to the leak, Nintendo is leaning heavily into nostalgia and cinematic synergy for its next-gen lineup:
-
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake: To celebrate the franchise’s 40th anniversary, a ground-up remake of the N64 masterpiece is reportedly in the works.
-
A New Star Fox Title: Following the surprise announcement of Fox McCloud appearing in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Nate claims a new entry for the pilot is finally on the horizon.
-
The 3D Mario Delay: The sting in the tail? Don’t expect a new 3D Mario adventure in 2026. The project is reportedly aiming for a 2027 launch.
-
The Next Nintendo Direct: We likely won’t see a proper deep dive into these titles until June.
What We Know So Far
TBA confirmed that the game is being built for Nintendo Switch 2, with improved visuals, new mechanics, and environments designed around the storybook theme.
We wanted to create a world that feels like stepping into a storybook — full of wonder, surprises, and discovery around every corner.
