I don't expect any other big release this year but at least a Direct that will show more of the games to come in 2026 and beyond!

After the revival of old dormant series like Metroid Prime and Kirby Air Ride, I suspect Nintendo will resurrect games like F-Zero, Wave Race and Star Fox, but also a new Kid Icarus could do marvels on the Switch 2 hardware. A new Fire Emblem is absolutely granted, but I don't expect any new Kirby or Mario Party games to release for some years, given the upgrades coming to the latest entries. A new 3D main Mario game is given for sure in my opinion, releasing alongside the new movie or following shortly..

As for a new Zelda, surely the team have already started working on the new main game, and I feel Nintendo will fill the gap with a remake like they did on Switch 1... Possible remakes I can think off would be Zelda 1, or better, Zelda 2 for the NES (oldest 2D games), but also Ocarina of Time (oldest 3D one) could be a possibility!

Well... let's be satisfied with this 2025 already full of games and see what the next Direct has in store for us! ;)
