Video Game Chronicle has corroborated Nate's claims, interestingly

https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/sources-nintendo-is-planning-a-new-star-fox-and-a-major-zelda-remake-this-year-but-no-3d-mario/

I kinda feel like Nintendo deserves this for being so stupidly secretive lately. If you won't announce your plans, it's your own fault when somebody else does it for you.

Probably they wanted to focus the first half of the year on the Mario Galaxy movie, and then in the summer-time ish show the first trailer for the Zelda movie (starting the marketing campaign for that) to go with the Zelda: OoT Remake unveil. 

But it looks like (as with the Switch 2 system reveal itself) they got upended again by waiting too long. 

I'm guessing the Star Fox reveal was supposed to go -- Mario Galaxy movie release, does big business, people love Fox in the movie, and bam they announce Star Fox for Switch 2, but Nate also screwed them on that too, lol. I think they're trying to focus their marketing reveals around movie marketing schedules as much as game release schedules and it basically bit them in the ass.
