Regarding the new Star Fox, Nate advances that it is a classic game, with very good graphics and an online multiplayer mode. Its launch is scheduled for this summer and regarding the presentation of the game he comments that it could be a surprise. This information joins a recent and no less detail. Yesterday Nintendo showed a new poster for Super Mario Galaxy: the movie where Star Fox appears, and since then there are many who believe (or hope) to have a new installment of the saga sooner rather than later.
If Nintendo ends up releasing a Star Fox game, it will be the first in a decade. The last one was Star Fox Zero, a title for Wii U developed in collaboration with PlatinumGames.
Nate also assures that during the second half of the year Nintendo will put a remake from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, one of the most valued and remembered installments. The launch of this title that at the time fed the N64 catalog would be a way to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the franchise. It is worth remembering that Nintendo is working with Sony Pictures Entertainment on a live-action Zelda movie that will hit theaters around the world on May 7, 2027.
Thirdly, Nate rules out that this year Nintendo will launch a new 3D Mario installment. Yes, there is a new game on the way, but according to their information it will not be available until 2027. Shigeru Miyamoto said a few days ago that Super Mario Galaxy: The Movie «is the main event» of the Super Mario Bros. 40th anniversary celebrations.
Going back to 2026, the release schedule first-party This year's Nintendo Switch 2 also includes Splatoon Raiders, Fire Emblem: Fortune Weave, and Rhythm Heaven Groove. In addition, FromSoftware's The Duskbloods should go on sale at the end of 2026. The second half of the year will be delicate for everyone, including Nintendo, due to the launch of Grand Theft Auto VI scheduled for November 19.
