What Do Rumors and Leaks Suggest?

Over the last few months, multiple insiders have shared claims about potential announcements Nintendo may be preparing.

One of the most anticipated rumors is a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, which many believe could serve as the showcase’s headline reveal. Other reports suggest Nintendo could announce Nintendo Switch 2 versions of titles such as Pikmin 4 and Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

There are also rumors surrounding a brand-new Wario Land game. According to an insider who previously leaked information about new Rayman and Spyro projects, Nintendo’s mischievous antihero could finally return in a completely new adventure.

Third-party announcements are also expected to play a major role in the presentation. Among the most requested updates is a release date for The Duskbloods, FromSoftware’s upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive.

Meanwhile, there are indications that Nintendo Switch Online could receive new features, including challenge systems for classic NES, SNES, and Game Boy titles. Some fans are also hoping for updates on Pokémon Winds & Waves and perhaps even a glimpse at the future of the Super Mario franchise.

For now, none of these rumored announcements have been officially confirmed. Fans will have to wait until the presentation goes live to discover what Nintendo has planned for the second half of 2026.
