Nintendo is making exciting moves this year to tap into our nostalgia. According to reliable insider Natethehate, a new Star Fox game is on the way. He had previously predicted the Switch 2’s reveal date accurately, so there’s reason to pay attention.
This new Star Fox title is expected to be officially announced in April and could launch for the Switch 2 by summer. This comes as Star Fox gears up to appear in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, building hype around the franchise. Interestingly, rumors suggest online multiplayer features may be included, showing Nintendo’s effort to modernize classic gameplay.
But the excitement doesn’t stop with Star Fox. Natethehate also hinted at a remake of the iconic Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the Switch 2, likely around the holiday season of 2026. Initially, he was uncertain about this project, but the buzz surrounding it has grown stronger. He speculated that we might see a remake that stays true to the original or takes creative liberties.
This remake could fill the anticipated void left by a new 3D Mario game, which is now expected to launch in 2027 instead. For those looking forward to direct announcements, it appears Nintendo’s next big presentation might not come until June, with smaller reveals saved for social media and their official app.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time holds a special place in gaming history. Released in 1998 for the Nintendo 64, it was the first 3D Zelda game and set the standard for many action-adventure games that followed. It still reigns as one of the highest-rated games of all time, according to Metacritic.
This year, Nintendo also surprised fans with a Lego set based on the game. The set features minifigures of the main characters from the final battle—Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf—along with a brick-built Ganon and a stand for the fairy Navi. This nostalgia-driven marketing shows that Nintendo knows how to keep fans engaged across different mediums.
With these developments, it’s clear that Nintendo is looking to blend classic experiences with modern gaming trends. The nostalgic charm of titles like Star Fox and Ocarina of Time continues to resonate, not just with older gamers but also with new audiences excited to discover these classics.
