Overview
- Multiple outlets published reports on Saturday repeating claims from an anonymous YouTube account, malo932, that a brand-new Super Smash Bros. (not a port of Ultimate) and a return of Nintendogs are being developed for Nintendo Switch 2.
- Reporters say malo932 has previously posted accurate details such as an Ocarina of Time remake and the dates for upcoming Nintendo Directs, which has increased interest in the new claims while leaving the account’s information source unknown.
- The leak also names additional alleged projects including a new 3D Mario targeted for 2027, a new Wario Land title, and a Super Metroid remake described as close to finished.
- Coverage uniformly cautions the claims are unverified, Nintendo has made no announcements about these games, and analysts note a new Smash entry would likely take several years of development if it exists.
- Observers say Nintendo’s Sept. 8–9 Direct presentations are the next realistic chance for official confirmation but advise treating any announcement as the only reliable source of product details or timing.
