There is definitely a leaky warp pipe somewhere within Nintendo right now, as any avid switch gamer already knows, and a new, albeit quite cryptic, rumor suggests a new 2D Zelda game announcement is all but imminent. 

Just after Nintendo launched a new gameplay trailer for the Yoshi and the Mysterious Book on Switch 2, pre-orders are now live and we are already tracking a deal on the physical copy over at Walmart – add it your cart to see the discounted price. 

Amazon has $10 Nintendo gift cards on sale today. Switch and Switch 2 games are expensive, and so is all the hardware. Deals, especially on the new stuff can be very had to come by, but these discounted gift cards can certainly help the case – you’re effectively trading money for more money to spend on the eShop and Nintendo store here. 

Not all Switch 2 accessories are made equal, some of them look like an actual Piranha Plant that double as a TV docking station for your Switch 2, charges all sorts of joy-Con pairs at the same time, features glow night lighting, and posable arms. 

Nintendo has just confirmed the Splatoon Raiders release date. This is the next in the long line of Nintendo leaks and rumors to come true – it releases this summer.

The limited time Switch 2 Mario Galaxy bundle is now live. As part of the theatrical release of the new Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Nintendo has delivered a few fun new releases and promotions. And special limited time Nintendo Switch 2 console bundle packaged with Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 – it is now available for purchase on Amazon. 

While we are still waiting to see what Nintendo has next for the Switch 2 Game Cube library, the April 2026 NES Nintendo Classics updates and the companion trailer have arrived. And these ones didn’t leak ahead of time, like everything else Nintendo has on is release schedule this year.

Update 4/29: This posted has been updated with all of the latest leaks.

In case you somehow missed it, there has been a massive leak over at Nintendo. Somebody is stealing all of the Mushroom Kingdom’s biggest secrets and leaking them all over the internet. As exciting as some of this leaked information is, I almost hope it’s all fake and Nintendo completely surprises everyone over the next few months. 

Nintendo has now officially announced a new Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 Nintendo Switch 2 console bundle. I guess not everything it had planned to announce this year already leaked (but a whole bunch of it seems like it has). 

It seems Nintendo’s entire 2026 launch plans have been leaked all over the net at this point. It has probably formed a new (Re)search and Destroy 1 team to crack down on the Nabbit stealing its secrets, but it’s probably too late to save any major surprises for this year, and we aren’t done yet.

Update 4/3: We have now updated this post with some additional leaked details on some potential upcoming Switch 2 releases.

As we have already reported, there have been some major Nintendo leaks surfacing across the interwebs over the last week or so, much of which coming from folks with solid track records for this sort of thing. While these sorts of early details and rumors were very much expected last year with the launch of the Switch 2, it appears as though much of the Nintendo 2026 launch plans have leaked already. 

While the leaks and rumors regarding upcoming Nintendo plans have slowed to some degree compared to last year’s Switch 2 launch cycle, there have been some seriously exciting tidbits floating around as of late. Not the least of which, some fairly high-profile Nintendo Insiders have already claimed we are in for a complete remake of one of the most celebrated Nintendo titles of all-time: The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. And now it looks as though there’s good reason to believe there will also be a special edition Zelda Ocarina of Time Switch 2 Console. 

We have moved into the final day of the Amazon Big Spring Sale and perhaps the last chance at a series of the most notable game deals we have been tracking over the last week or so. Alongside ongoing deals on Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition and much more below, we also spotted Amazon offering the Hitman: World of Assassination Signature Edition for Nintendo Switch 2 down at $49.99 shipped. This is a nearly 20% price drop and matching the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon since launch. Head below for even more.

Alongside some notable PS5 titles we spotted on sale as part of the Amazon Big Spring Sale you’ll find down below, we also have Woot offering the Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition down at $55.99 this morning. Shipping is free for Prime members but you’ll get hit with a $6 delivery fee otherwise. This one carries a regular price at $65 and is currently fetching as much at Amazon. If you already have the Switch edition you can just grab the upgrade pack on the eShop for $4.99, but if not this is the complete Switch 2 edition with “enhanced resolution, mouse control support for faster and easier decorating, a megaphone for calling your animal residents that uses the system microphone, and more.” 

• Death Stranding 2: On The Beach $30 (Reg. $70)
• Lost Soul Aside $50 (Reg. $60)
• Rise of the Ronin $30 (Reg. $70)
• NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound $24 (Reg. $40)
• And even more…

There have been some notable releases for Switch 2 thus far, but nothing overly remarkable at this point. We have had some notable first-party releases with the new Mario Tennis game and the Super Mario Bros. Wonder expansion, not to mention the surprisingly well-received Pokémon Pokopia. But Nintendo is going to need some heavy hitters to keep the hype rolling this year – will we finally get a new 3D Mario experience? Doesn’t sound like it at this point, but rumor has it a massive Zelda remake is inbound alongside a new Star Fox game and much sooner than later at that.

Nintendo unleashed the final trailer for the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy Movie earlier this month, but the reveals ahead of the April 1 release aren’t quite done yet – it has now confirmed that Fox McCloud from StarFox is in the film. 

The Pokémon Company and Nintendo have now officially announced the release date for the upcoming Pokémon Champions Releases on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 alongside a brand new overview trailer. 

Happy Mario Day, LEGO Super Mario minifigs have been officially announced! Just when you thought the Mario reveals were done for the day, Nintendo and LEGO have just released a new teaser video on social announcing all-new Super Mario minifigs and sets.
