A new 3D Mario for Switch 2 is a given, but when exactly will it launch? (Nintendo)The initial line-up of Nintendo Switch 2 games wont be unveiled for a few months, but one retailer may have already leaked out important secrets.Aside from a new Mario Kart, and probably Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Nintendo has given no indication of what games it plans to release for the Nintendo Switch 2 this year.Nearly everyone (including us) has had a go at predicting which Switch 2 titles could drop during the consoles launch period, but well all have to wait until Nintendos April showcase to see how right or wrong we are.With everyone still hungry for Switch 2 news, even after the reveal trailer, a new retailer listing seems to have accidentally revealed what two of the most important first party games are.The listing was from American retailer Newegg and was for a $50 Nintendo eShop gift card, which suggests they werent trying to leak anything on purpose.Before it was changed, the description listed a number of Nintendo games scheduled for 2025, most of which we already know, like Metroid Prime 4, Pokmon Legends Z-A and Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition.However, it not only included the new Mario Kart (which is not necessarily a launch game but is assumed to be out this year) but also a new 3D Mario and Legend Of Zelda remake/remaster.The listing has since been updated to remove all mention of the Mario and Zelda games, as well as Mario Kart, but not before Insider Gaming saved a screenshot of it. Mario Kart is the only Nintendo franchise explicitly confirmed for Switch 2 (Insider Gaming/Newegg)As a retailer, Newegg could be privy to Nintendos release schedule and accidentally gave away too much. Whats also possible is that the list was purely guesswork on Neweggs part.A new 3D Mario for the Switch 2s first year is a common theory, especially since the original Switch got Super Mario Odyssey only seven months after the consoles launch.More TrendingThereve been rumours of a 3D Mario as a Switch 2 launch game as far back as 2023, with talk that it may also count as a new Donkey Kong game.As for Zelda, its been claimed since 2021 that Switch remasters of The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess will come out. Nintendos known for sitting on long completed projects until it finds a suitable gap in its release schedule, so its not too unreasonable to believe at least one of them could drop in 2025.A remaster of Breath Of The Wild has also been rumoured multiple times, as a way to show off the new consoles power difference, although this may have been confused with an alleged technical demo Nintendo was showing off to developers last year.The updated listing could be because Newegg is repeating rumours or it could be the result of actual insider knowledge theres no way to know at the moment. Whether their claim is accurate or not theyre yet another company thats going to be added to Nintendos naughty list for their lack of discretion. Those Zelda remasters have got to happen this year, right? Right?
