The rumors were true folks, and the leaks were right on point. We can only assume this is almost certainly be new Star Fox Switch 2 that was leaked a few weeks ago now.
Miyamoto just popped onto the official Nintendo of America X account to announce the following:
This is Miyamoto. In just a moment, at 3pm PT, we will livestream Star Fox Direct 5.6.2026. The presentation runs for approximately 15 minutes, and I would be delighted if you could take a look.
Nintendo does not typically just pop out of nowhere with event announcements like this a few minutes before they go live – one can only assume this is in direct response to the leaky warp pipe problem at Nintendo HQ right now. The Mario maker typically gives us at least a day’s notice before major Direct events like this, but not this time.
