Super Metroid Remake Rumored to be Close, New Wario Land Possibly Due in 2027

According to an anonymous source, the Nintendo game lineup leaked yesterday may also include a Super Metroid remake and a new Wario Land game.

Let's rewind the rumor mill: yesterday, renowned leaker Nate the Hate shared a detailed look at the next wave of first-party games from Nintendo . The first to be released is supposedly a new "classic-style" Star Fox game with "very good visuals" and multiplayer. This game is expected to be available in June. Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave should launch in Summer 2026, possibly around July or August, alongside Splatoon Raiders , Rhythm Heaven , and a new Switch Sports game made for the Switch 2.

A remake of 1998's The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time , considered among the best games ever made and still holding the record for the highest-rated game on Metacritic with a 99 review score , is also in development for the Nintendo Switch 2 and is targeting a late 2026 debut. FromSoftware's highly anticipated multiplayer-focused Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive, The Duskbloods , is allegedly launching in late 2026 as well. Finally, the long-awaited new 3D Mario will launch in 2027.

That's the list of rumors from Nate the Hate, but , there's an anonymous user who posted the same list with a few additions before Nate the Hate's podcast went live. This mysterious leaker wrote:

A classic Starfox is coming in June, the adventure one is still coming but not in 2026. Super Metroid is also close, along with a new Switch Sports, a Wario Land title (possibly 2027), and Ocarina of Time remake for this year. I would love to also see 3D Mario this year, but I fear 2027 is the year to go.

A remake of the 1994 SNES classic Super Metroid was already rumored several years ago . It's hard to say if this would even be the same project, given that over six years have passed. As for Wario Land, the spin-off platforming series has been missing for many years; the last installment, Wario Land: Shake It! , was released in 2008 for the Nintendo Wii. Lately, Nintendo has utilized the character mostly in the WarioWare party game series, with releases like WarioWare: Get it Together! and WarioWare: Move It! .
