A circulating rumor suggests Nintendo’s 2026 lineup could include a new Star Fox game with classic rail shooter traits, a remake of Ocarina of Time (potentially enhanced beyond a simple port), and a Zelda remake, with no 3D Mario in that year—set against a backdrop of a Switch 2-era launch and fan excitement tempered by skepticism until official confirmation.

A podcast-based rumor from NateTheHate claims Nintendo Switch 2 will host a summer release of a classic-style Star Fox with online multiplayer and a Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake in the second half of 2026. It also suggests no 3D Mario in 2026, with a 2027 release, plus speculative titles like Splatoon Raiders, Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave, Rhythm Heaven Groove, and possible Switch 2 editions of Pikmin 4 and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. A June Nintendo Direct is possible but not guaranteed; as with all rumors, nothing is confirmed.

Giles Goddard, a former game developer at Argonaut Software and later at Nintendo, shares his experiences working on projects like Star Fox and the N64. He recalls accidentally dropping confidential Nintendo papers on the streets of Kyoto, the formal and regimented work environment at Nintendo, and his involvement in creating iconic games like Star Fox, Zelda 64 demo, and 1080 Snowboarding. Goddard eventually left Nintendo due to waning interest and limited career growth opportunities as a foreigner in a Japanese company.
