Ultimate Switch 2 sequel leaks before September Nintendo Direct"},"content":{"rendered":"

The Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake<\/a> will likely take center stage at the September 8th Nintendo Direct<\/a>. However, speculation is rampant about what first-party Switch 2 games<\/a> may appear the next day. According to the source who leaked the timing of the events and the modernized Zelda, a follow-up to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/a> is on the way. <\/p>\n

Flying under the radar<\/p>\n

Malo392 is not a well-known insider, but in March 2026, they made surprisingly accurate predictions. In a YouTube comment, the individual posted a list of upcoming projects<\/a> that included the Ocarina of Time remake. Additionally, they disclosed a \u201cclassic\u201d Star Fox entry<\/a> before the reputable NateTheHate<\/a> and the publisher announced it. <\/p>\n

The leaker recently teased the Nintendo Directs, now set for September 8th and 9th. Of course, gamers are scouring malo392\u2019s YouTube comments for more insights. One discovery came under a video that discussed a potential Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Switch 2 edition<\/a>. The message reads<\/a>, \u201cNo, a new Smash is in the works.\u201d<\/p>\n

In May 2026, insider Reece \u201cKiwi Talkz\u201d Reilly<\/a> also reported that a fresh Super Smash Bros. game was planned. Yet, he later cautioned that it may not be a new title. <\/p>\n

Many fighting enthusiasts believe that an upgrade for the popular original Switch release is inevitable. Although it\u2019s backward compatible<\/a> with the new console<\/a>, developers can enhance the visuals or add characters. Yet, Nintendo could opt to add a new chapter to the Masahiro Sakurai<\/a> franchise instead. <\/p>\n

What’s a realistic release date?<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, without an upgrade in the meantime, players will likely need patience for a Super Smash Bros. Switch 2 game. After Kirby Air Riders<\/a> shipped in November 2025, Sakurai is free to return to the party brawler. Still, such an endeavor would take years, making even a Nintendo Direct debut questionable. <\/p>\n

The imminent broadcasts could also feature other titles alluded to by malo392. Like NateTheHate, they leaked a new 3D Mario<\/a> experience targeting 2027. Another possibility is the return of Nintendogs<\/a> (see comments). The pet simulator would complement the latest handheld\u2019s touchscreen, internal mic, and Joy-Cons<\/a>.<\/p>\n
