Reliable leaks suggest development of a new 3D Mario, Super Smash Bros, and Nintendogs for upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
Amidst a quieter period of news, certain leaks are hinting at major developments at Nintendo. According to a My Nintendo News report, the well-known leaker Malo392 claims that a new 3D Mario game is set for a 2027 release. While this is not official confirmation, Malo392 has a history of accurate leaks, lending some credibility to the claim.
Additionally, a second report from the same source amplifies the hype with rumors of new Super Smash Bros and Nintendogs titles in development. Supposedly, these games are being developed for the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. The leaker, who previously forecasted the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake and a recent Nintendo Direct, has shared this information via YouTube comments. While intriguing, these claims remain unconfirmed and should be treated as speculation for now.
Nintendo Switch 2 Market Moves
Meanwhile, the Nintendo Switch 2 eShop charts reveal that Orbitals has managed to dethrone Elden Ring from the top spot, a notable achievement given the former’s lower price point. This reshuffle in the charts underscores the competitiveness in the digital market, especially with powerful titles continually emerging. More on this can be found at Nintendo Everything.
In related news, game file sizes for the Nintendo Switch 2 have surfaced, with Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter coming in at 33.2GB and Hot Wheels Infinite Rush at 13.7GB. This signals a continuing trend towards larger game files, likely due to increased graphical and gameplay demands.
