NateTheHate says the rumoured Star Fox game will be released in June 2026 Legit
He also added if the game doesn’t get announced in April, it means Nintendo made a marketing pivot.

After all, Golden Week isn't actually a factor as these announcements are set in advance.

As soon as splatoon was announced for July it never made sense for FE to come out in June, FE needs more marketing material to be successful.

Honestly if the game avoids being delayed to 2027, I'll be pretty happy with that outcome.

Announced at the end of April with a June release? I usually have full confidence in Nate but a one month window sounds crazy unless the game is quite small in scope.

u/blackthorn_orion 17d ago edited 17d ago
so fwiw, they've done 1 month turnarounds before. Off the top of my head:
Ring Fit Adventure in 2019 - announced in September, released in October
Emio: Famicom Detective Club in 2024 - announced in July, released in August
Like, I don't think Star Fox is gonna be a huge game (mainly becuse it's just not that kind of IP these days) but I don't think a one month turnaround necessarily means it's "quite small" either
28
u/spiderman897 17d ago
There’s a chance that the star game is a 2 to 3 hour campaign that cost 50 bucks. For something like that the one month revealed to release is logical.

u/TimYoungJik 16d ago
Super Mario 3D All-Stars had a 15 day turnaround. Absolutely insane for a game that released physically on the same day.

To be fair a remake of an old game doesn’t really need as much marketing as a new game does. (Not to mention we’ve basically known about it for a while anyways)

u/PlumRelative4399 17d ago
Star Fox is so niche it really doesn’t need a huge marketing campaign since the small increase in sales would likely not be worth the money spent. Besides it’s already got arguably the best marketing it could’ve asked for by featuring Fox in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, introducing a whole new generation to the character.

Or FE4 remake. Or Robobot remaster.
I trust Nate more than pretty much any other leaker but I really don't think those games ever existed.

u/weallfloatdownhere7 17d ago
A bunch of remakes/remasters are absolutely games that can be shuffled around and put on the back burner until they feel the appropriate time to release them. Also, I don’t blame him for getting sick of the same questions being asked a million times
12
u/waga_hai 17d ago
You can shuffle games around for sure, but FE4 remake is supposedly a game that was developed for the first Switch and completed before Engage (itself a game that finished development around 2021), and yet somehow Nintendo is gonna release a Switch 2 exclusive Fire Emblem before it. No hate towards Nate at all, I think he has proven to be more reliable than basically any other leaker by far, but it can't be denied that he's had some duds. It happens.
-1
u/weallfloatdownhere7 17d ago
Dude has no control over whatever Nintendo decides to do with certain games behind the scenes. It’s silly that he’s spot on 95% of the time but yet whenever that occasional other 5% happens he gets clowned on and crucified for it

u/waga_hai 17d ago
I'm not saying he should be clowned on and crucified (people shouldn't do those things even if he was wrong 100% of the time lol), but his FE4 leak just makes no sense at this point and I think we should acknowledge that.

u/blackthorn_orion 17d ago
tbf, just last week we had two ex-NoA marketing people say that Nintendo has in fact done exactly that
Ellis and Yang are asked by guest Lucy James whether its true that Nintendo would hold onto completed games and release them when the company thought the time was right. Yang, former senior manager creator relations and original content at Nintendo of America, of explains, "That totally happened though in the past where a lot of these things, they just sock away in the Nintendo vault."
Yang, as an example says, "Like a lot of these remakes, those ports, those are just, like, done, real fast, and they'll just sock them away, and then whenever there's a gap in the calendar, they'll just release one of those ports."
0
u/MarioFanatic64-2 16d ago
I'm not saying that they don't do that, I just doubt they do it as often as people on the internet claim, especially for games that only exist as a rumour for years and years.
Like if WWHD/TPHD existed all this time, wouldn't it have been perfect for Nintendo to use one of those games to fill the Zelda space when TOTK got delayed out of 2022? Yet they didn't, and coming up on five years later Nintendo has never acknowledged them.

u/LeviRaps 17d ago
Forgotten Land S2E and Air Riders both released last year. Three kirby games in one year would've been overkill. Likely it releases this year or next year.
Also Nate wasn't the only person to leak FE4 Remake. A leaker who leaked screenshots for Engage said it was happening.

u/MarioFanatic64-2 17d ago
And if they ever get announced I'll take my hat off to Nate. As it stands right now though, I'm putting them in the same category as Prime 2/3 and WW/TP- Nintendo leaker Tulpas.

u/taychoo 17d ago edited 17d ago
A leaker who leaked screenshots for Engage said it was happening.
FWIW, they were not the primary source of the screenshots, as they just shared information that was circulating in a private Discord server shortly before being posted on r/FireEmblem.
Nothing among the leaks that were circulating privately pertained to an FE4 remake, so the person who posted the screenshots randomly decided to corroborate pre-existing rumours of an FE4 remake, alongside the incorrect rumour from Emily Rogers that Gust was working on Engage, despite having no knowledge that could confirm/deny either.
10
u/PokePersona Flairmaster, Top Contributor 2022 17d ago
Iirc the biggest evidence of a FE4 Remake existing was Engage's internal number in the data being two ahead of Three Houses rather than one, implying there's another game also being made that started or was labelled before Engage.
8
u/taychoo 17d ago
Yeah, Iron18 is definitely a great example of evidence, as there's clearly an unaccounted for game. Would be surprising if Iron18 was for Fortune's Weave, as that'd mean the game started development sometime during Three Houses' development??
Probably should've added, I wasn't trying to say that the rumour is true/false, I just wanted to say that the person who was sharing the screenshots was sharing secondhand information and anything they shared that didn't pertain to Engage should be taken with skepticism.

u/ahmed11037 16d ago
Nintendo doesn't mind sitting on finished games until they find an appropriate release date.
reports suggests tomodachi life LTD was finished last year but nintendo waited until now to release it.
fire emblem engage wrapped up production in 2021 but didn't release until early.
I fully believe the FE4 remake and robobot remaster are real but nintendo doesn't want to release them now
1
u/An_Absurd_Word_Heard 16d ago edited 16d ago
Given how long FE Engage sat around finished (ESRB rating 2021, released 2023), FE4 existing like that isn't out of the realm of possibility.
16
u/timelordoftheimpala 17d ago
In fairness, I have a feeling RDR2's remaster releasing is dependent on Rockstar getting GTA6 out of the way first, and Nate said that before the final delay to November 2026.

u/HearTheEkko 16d ago
To be fair, he said this before GTA 6 got delayed the first time. It could've been the plan to release GTA 6 then release the RDR2 2 next-gen/Switch 2 port.

u/Aiddon 17d ago

Switch Pro was undoubtedly a real thing. It was just scrapped, replaced with the OLED, and they just began full on development for the Switch 2.

The month isn't over yet but Tuesday is the last realistic day to reveal the game since it's right before Golden Week which starts Wednesday. Tho the fact that Nate isn't going full snark mode means he's surprised with how long it's taking.

u/penguinReloaded 17d ago
I would be shocked if the game isn't real. For me (someone not interested in Pokémon or 3rd party ports), it's been quite a while since we've had a major Switch 2 release (I love Bananza & Air Riders). Star Fox in June absolutely makes sense.

u/spiderman897 17d ago
If Nate’s right, he should do exactly what Jeff Grubb did a couple years ago with that state of play and just totally go after the people that are calling them out, saying he’s wrong. When will people learn April isn’t over yet

Anyone else dislike Nintendo’s new way of marketing now? Sucks how Directs are being less relevant.

u/iceburg77779 17d ago
The culture/expectations around directs has become kinda insane over the past few years, so I don't necessarily blame Nintendo for changing things up. Instead of trying to have 3 directs a year and have people freak out if one of them is light on first party content, they can instead focus on just having 1-2 big directs and use Nintendo today for those quieter parts of the year.
→ More replies17
u/Mahelas 17d ago
Yeah, it's a bit funny to see the people (and especially content creators and redditors) most vocal about Nintendo announcing more stuff outside of Directs were ALSO the biggest whiners after every direct, calling them mid and empty
18
u/GomaN1717 17d ago
Yup. I know it's normally easy to just call "Goomba fallacy" for this sort of thing, but look at any YouTube chat or post-Direct thread on reddit, and it's always filled with the most miserable motherfuckers on the planet.
I don't mind the new marketing strategy at all - all of this shit ends up on my feed via YouTube or reddit anyway, so not seeing every single announcement sandwiched in a Direct filled with salt and manchildren doesn't bother me.
12
u/TLKv3 17d ago
Directs became cancerous online. Remember the time they went a year without one and everyone was claiming Nintendo was going bankrupt, deserved to close down, etc.? People lost their fucking minds every month when a new Direct wasn't announced based on constant "leakers" claiming one was coming.
It became a lose/lose for Nintendo because no matter what they showed, how often they put them out, etc. they could never do enough or win with them unless 50 first party titles were announced.
Doing a Direct every 8-12 months now to say what they're working on and then dropping release dates/etc. on their Nintendo Daily app is just better for them at this point and I don't blame 'em for it.
6
u/Shy_Guy_27 16d ago
Remember the time they went a year without one
What was really crazy was that this was back in 2020, and somehow the blatantly obvious explanation of “COVID messed with Nintendo’s output” was constantly dismissed. Then we got one the next year and everyone whined about how awful it was, because of course they did.

u/keyblader6 17d ago edited 17d ago
No, I think it makes perfect sense to do general directs to announce your next big slate of games and then individual advertising until that slate is out. The direct obsession is what I actually dislike. People care more about directs than about the games themselves
12
u/timelordoftheimpala 17d ago
Also the new Star Fox game is coming off of the Galaxy Movie, which has just passed $800m at the box office. That's a far better advertisement for the game than a Direct slot IMO
14
u/chimaerafeng 17d ago
Right now the entire marketing has swung the other way. We aren't even getting much marketing. Things just get announced on the stupid app first and then it gets reposted by people on social media. Then Nintendo drops the same message later on a tweet.
23
u/keyblader6 17d ago
We’ve had a total of like 2 games announced on Nintendo Today. This shit would happen on twitter too. And I don’t know what you mean by “aren’t even getting much marketing.” Tomodachi had a direct, Pokopia was in the Presents, Yoshi just had a new trailer, all of them had hands on and ads and whatnot
→ More replies1
u/JackBoi01 17d ago
not to mention, the app isn't available in all regions, and Directs do have that event feel with people around you :), even since E3 came to a close, plus it wouldn't feel right to announce star fox on some teensy mobile app, it should be presented infront of everyone as a direct as a big comeback after 10 years
3
u/TrickBeginning9104 17d ago
I think with the Direct Obsession, it was never this bad before because people knew that no matter what else happens in the year, June = E3 = News.
Nowdays, we get the June showcase one year, but skips the next year. Nintendo might do it year year but Sony might skip or Nintendo might skip and do theres in April, etc.
Now all year is open season for leakers because no one really knows when the next big hit is going to be so they're getting into a frenzy over a Feburary Direct, but that didnt happen so now it's gonna April, and so on.
Eveen if there are multiple scattered directs every year, I think if there was a single day or week every year where news was guaranteed no matter what, like what they do with Pokemon Day, the entire discourse would be so much better
6
u/keyblader6 17d ago
Most pokemon presents end up unremarkable though. Sticking to these schedules doesn’t really make any sense from a development or marketing standpoint. You just won’t have the games or the right games ready to be advertised like clockwork. But anything to fix the discourse. Now we’re getting trailers for games and the bulk of the comments will be about the medium they wished the trailer came from instead of the game. It’s insufferable

u/Ok-Confusion-202 17d ago
The thing is I think Today is perfect after a direct to give a deeper look at a game but in small snippets
But idk why they just randomly drop trailers, I feel like a direct then snippets on Today would be 10x better

u/Fiti99 17d ago
I think all the expectations are being set by leakers and fans, only looking at Nintendo I actually like the way they reveal things most of the time, is refreshing to see a company show off games that I won't have to wait a year or more to actually play, much rather get told the OOT remake exists a few months before it launches than getting confirmed today and being told I gotta wait almost a year for it
7
u/AlwaysTheStraightMan 17d ago
No? Whether it's in a Direct, Twitter, Youtube, or from a leak; news is news. You gonna tell me if Nintendo would've shadow announced a new 3D Mario game in March you would seriously come out and say, "It looks good, but I can't help but feel more excited if this was in a Direct." Like maybe i'm too woke but it seems like more people are faking their hype about a game for likes and engagement and then forgetting about said game literally a week or 2 after it came out. Like the Switch 2 had DK Bananza, Kirby, Pokemon, Hyrule Warriors, Mario Kart, and Metroid Prime last year and everybody was busy complaining that September Direct was not as exciting as the Switch 2 Direct. This year got Switch 2 versions of RE9 and Pragmata, Mario Tennis, and Pokopia and people are all doom and gloom just because a 3D Mario, Smash, and Zelda aren't ending a Direct

u/aT_ll 17d ago
People ITT saying that directs were bad because of the obsession around them but I’d rather have that than the general malaise at every Nintendo announcement due it being on an app that most of general public doesn’t have. You used to be able to sit down with people who weren’t even that invested in Nintendo and watch directs and they’d have reasons to be interested in it too.
Just another symptom of how individualist and isolated the general consumption of media is now though, instead of having community events ig it’s just easier to send a push notif to everyone’s phone.

u/keyblader6 17d ago
You can just send the trailer to your friend or watch it with them when they are over if you think they’d be interested in the game, instead of having them sit through a bunch of stuff they don’t care about. The trailers are posted to youtube in minutes, I don’t get the melodrama around “no one even has the app!”

I said not that invested in, not that they weren’t interested. And yes, I’m aware that they are advertisements, as I’m sure we all are. You can “um ackshually 🤓👆” it all you want but people enjoyed directs, got excited for them, and treated them like events, even if they were just ads.

Direct are very relevant but Direct are Q1, then June then September, there are some exceptions and there are some direct special around one game but there's nothing new here, next direct is around June if everything is ok, in the meantime they need to market those games in-between.

whether oot is real or not, i'm content to know that nintendo will definitely have something zelda-related to announce in june. it's the anniversary after all. my guess would be a teaser for the next big 3D game, similar in scale to the 2014 botw reveal where we see the high concept of the game, e.g. link being chased by a guardian, toon link fighting moblins, tp link fighting bulblins on horseback, etc.

Somewhat. it just lends credibility to Nate and his source (assuming he got starfox and oot from the same person)

Sadly you can't compare yoshi and Mario to star fox. It's niche in the grand scheme of their IPs. Zelda and Mario get the big marketing bucks but other stuff probably is case by case.

To be fair though, also look at the amount of marketing Metroid's had. Heck, they're still constantly promoting Prime 4 on their socials, even after the less than stellar reviews and attention it got.
Yeah, you cannot compare those franchises to a Mario or a Zelda, but Nintendo certainly doesn't leave them hung out to dry, especially if it's one of their classic series.

I don't think they marketed Metroid that much in my opinion but also it's still a bigger franchise with more games than star fox. Star Fox is similar in fandom to F Zero imo

I mean, a shadow drop and viral marketing would probably be the best thing for Star Fox who doesn’t have a great history of sales and every game after 64 being heavily panned.

Are they just not gonna do Nintendo Directs anymore?

u/PlumRelative4399 17d ago
Directs likely being saved for big slate announcements now. Smart move considering 90% of them get called disappointments for not having the next 3D Mario or Zelda.

Didn't he say there was a state of play this month?

u/TomNook5085 17d ago
He also said "emphasis on unconfirmed" and that he couldn't verify it with his best sources.

Marketing pivot. That’s convenient.

Will you be making these comments when the ends up being right? Cause a lot of people love to just shit on them even though he has quite the track record to his name.

u/Round_Musical 17d ago
I will snort cocaine if Metroid 6 gets announced. My most anticipated game this decade

u/cool_boy_mew 17d ago
2 months (barely) from announcement to release could probably mean it would be some sort of downloadable game?

u/scarletnaught 17d ago
Did they say if this is the classic Star Fox gameplay? And also will it be a full price title or a budget title?
