Dare we hope for a new F-Zero? (Nintendo)An insider claims another Nintendo Direct is planned before the big Switch 2 blowout, which will apparently include a major unannounced game.The bulk of anticipation recently has been centred around Nintendos next console, but theres still several major games planned for the original Switch.The two big titles we know about are Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Pokmon Legends: Z-A, which are expected to be released at some point in 2025. Outside of this, theres Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition and the recently released Donkey Kong Country Returns HD.While it appeared as if these might be the last major first party games for the Switch, an insider claims theres one big game yet to be announced.In a post on Famiboards, known leaker PH Brazil clarified comments he made on the O X do Controle podcast, where he teased therell be one final big game that is a new version of a niche beloved franchise.Its one game, he wrote in a post to address confusion. Im talking about a single new game in that podcast. Theres no new version of a niche beloved franchise separate from a final big game. He went onto clarify that it isnt a remaster either. Theres no indication of what the game could be, but he does claim it will be announced during a Nintendo Direct in February, which will be focused on games for the current console. At the time of writing, Nintendo has only announced a Direct on April 2, 2025 for the Switch 2.Nintendo has usually held a Nintendo Direct in February (although last years was a Partner Direct), so its certainly possible we could see another this year especially to showcase Metroid Prime 4: Beyond or announce previously rumoured ports like Kirby: Planet Robobot.Pokmon Legends: Z-A, meanwhile, is expected to be shown during the annual Pokmon Presents showcase, which is usually held on February 27 aka Pokmon Day.As for what the unannounced game could be, a new Fire Emblem would certainly fit the niche beloved franchise description, although its only been two years since the last entry Fire Emblem Engage. Theres also long dormant series like F-Zero, Chibi-Robo, Golden Sun, Kid Icarus, Star Fox, or something like Punch-Out!!While its best to remain sceptical in regards to these rumours, PH Brazil has been accurate in the past about Nintendo Direct timeframes so well simply have to wait and see if another presentation is announced.More TrendingIf youre more interested in anything Switch 2, you can now register for the chance to play the console early at various events starting in April.
