A return of Star Fox after a long absence
God knows Nintendo fans are asking for a new opus to arrive Star Fox for years. Good news, a new game is reportedly in the works for a summer 2026 release. While you should always take these unofficial statements with a grain of salt, it still makes some sense considering yesterday’s reveal for Super Mario Galaxy The Movie. The feature film should logically make it possible to introduce the license to a new audience.
According to the information reported, the game would adopt a “classic” style, close to the original episodes, with modernized graphics, gameplay faithful to the historical formula and an online multiplayer mode.
Furthermore, according to Bastien D. Fryan X account specialized in French dubbing, the game should benefit from a full French version. He claims to have been aware of the project for months, which gives more credence to an upcoming release given that the dubbing is logically already completed.
A major remake of Zelda to properly celebrate the anniversary
Fans were very disappointed by the lack of an announcement for the 40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda on February 21. Nintendo should make up for it during the year. According to insider sources, a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time would be planned for the end of 2026 on Switch 2. Considered one of the most influential games in the history of video games (and the highest rated game of all time on Metacritic), Ocarina of Time could benefit from a much more ambitious overhaul than the version released on Nintendo 3DS in 2011.
If this is confirmed, we can already bet that the console will be another best seller.
No Mario 3D before 2027
On the other hand, bad news for fans of the mustachioed plumber, no new 3D Super Mario game planned for 2026. The successor of Super Mario Odyssey would now be expected for 2027almost ten years after the last major episode. Furthermore, despite the recent release of Donkey Kong Bananzathe title would be developed by the same team.
According to Natethehate, Nintendo is not expected to broadcast a Nintendo Direct until June, but could make targeted announcements via social media. This concerns in particular Splatoon Raiders And Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weaveas well as the Switch 2 versions of Pikmin 4 And Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
