According to a new rumor, Nintendo is currently launching a complete remake of the classic “The Legend of Zelda” series “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time”. At the same time, a new “Star Fox” series is also in continuous development, and both works will be on the Nintendo Switch 2 platform within 2026.
As one of Nintendo’s most representative IPs, many fans are looking forward to seeing a new game in the “Star Fox” series. After all, it has been nearly 10 years since the last authentic sequel in the series, “Star Fox 0”, was released. Unfortunately, this work that was released on the WiiU console received mixed reviews. Now, well-known whistleblower Nate the Hate also hinted on his personal podcast that a new “Star Fox” series is in development.
According to him, this new game locked on the Nintendo Switch 2 platform will bring the most classic “Star Fox” play style, and will fully exploit the performance of the console, showing excellent picture quality. It will also be equipped with a multiplayer mode, allowing players to cooperate or compete.
In addition, the tipster also hinted that a new 3D game of “Super Mario Bros.” will not be launched this year, but the good news is that the team has focused many resources on another surprise work, which is the Switch 2 “complete remastered version” of “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.”
Subsequently, the VGC website also echoed Nate the Hate’s statement in a report, claiming that the news about the plans for a new “Star Fox” game and an “Ocarina of Time” remake are indeed true.
“The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time”, which was originally released on the N64 platform in 1998, is not only an unshakable classic in the minds of many “The Legend of Zelda” fans, it also successfully achieved a nearly perfect score of 99 on the Metacritic platform, and it remains firmly on the throne of the highest-rated game of all time.
Therefore, being able to see this game reproduced with the modern technology and image quality of Switch 2 is definitely something worth looking forward to for fans, and may even have the opportunity to further drive sales of the console. As for the return of the “Star Fox” series, many players are very excited.
But for now, these are still in the rumor stage, and the exact news has yet to be officially announced by Nintendo. But according to Nate the Hate’s hints, Nintendo may hold another grand Nintendo Direct conference during the game release season in June this year, and players may see relevant news announced at that time.
