Exciting Leaks Hint at Epic GameCube Classics Coming to Nintendo Switch

According to frequent Nintendo leaker Zippo, there is speculation that the Nintendo Switch may soon feature some notable GameCube games. While other gaming companies have recently held significant events as part of the Summer Game Fest, Nintendo has chosen to stay on the sidelines. However, rumors are circulating that a Nintendo Direct presentation may be on the horizon, as the upcoming lineup of Nintendo Switch exclusives appears to be lacking.

Despite the tremendous success of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Nintendo has few confirmed releases for the remainder of the year. While Pikmin 4 is set to launch in July, the fall and holiday seasons of 2023 seem to be lacking in Nintendo releases. With no new Nintendo console scheduled for release this year, many speculate that the company is still developing games for the Nintendo Switch.

According to leaker Zippo, two of the upcoming games consist of classic GameCube titles, namely F-Zero GX and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Although there have been previous rumors circulating about HD remasters of these games, Zippo is confident that both will be available for release by the end of this year.

Rumors have been circulating for some time about the possibility of Switch ports for The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD remasters, two popular GameCube games. Despite no official announcements yet, it is speculated that these ports may be released unexpectedly, similar to the surprise drop of the Metroid Prime remaster during a Nintendo Direct earlier this year.

In addition to these rumors, Zippo's recent blog post provided updates on other leaked Nintendo projects, such as a 2D Donkey Kong game and a 2D Super Mario game currently in development. According to Zippo, the 2D Donkey Kong game is expected to debut next year, while the 2D Super Mario game could potentially be the highly anticipated November release from the company.

Fans should approach this information with caution and skepticism, considering Zippo's track record of accurate Nintendo leaks in the past. However, it is always advisable to wait for an official announcement before drawing any conclusions. In the event of a rumored Nintendo Direct taking place, it is hoped that Nintendo will provide clarification on these alleged leaked Nintendo Switch projects.
