Nintendo’s Plan for 2026 (according to NateTheHate2)

I really have strong doubts that Nintendo would drop a reveal as major as a brand new Star Fox one day before the Golden Week starts— press coverage is slow (since most journalists are out of office at the time) and people will be occupied with travel/vacation, not keeping up with the latest headlines.

That said: I’m not sure when we should expect this game to be revealed. I could definitely see a shadow drop in June if we’re talking a smaller-scope release intended solely to test the water of market interest in a brand new Star Fox (likely dropped alongside a Direct). But it’s anybody’s guess.

A French journalist who Nate has lended credence to has stated that the game will have be “online multiplayer focused,” which Nate did not corroborate but also did not deny. Could be that we’re looking at another F-Zero 99 situation on our hands— a pleasant surprise ruined by sky-high expectations created by a leak.

Well, that would make it a pass instead of a day 1, for me.  My god that would be such a massive disappointment.
