Last week Nintendo made it official – The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake is real, and it is releasing on Switch 2 in 2026. While very little is known about the upcoming release, folks did sleuth out an official description on the game from Nintendo that might give us a better idea of what we are in for. 

Nintendo is continuing to update its popular Switch 2 GameCube library and now that we have moved into 2026 it’s time to take an updated look at the lineup. 

Nintendo hosted its big summer Nintendo Direct presentation this week and it was…good. Not great, but good. I think the bevy of Nintendo leaks that have hit this year dulled the experience significantly for many folks, myself included, Nintendo stock has taken a bit of nose dive because of it, and more importantly, there’s more than a few gamers that walked away from the presentation far less excited than they should have been. So what’s next from Nintendo: Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time limited edition Switch 2 console? A proper influx of major Game Cube titles? Is there one more surprise 2026 game release? 

Here we go! It’s a big day for fans of the Mushroom Kingdom and Hylian heroes everywhere as Nintendo is set to livestream the big summer Nintendo Direct we have all been waiting for, and it all goes live this morning. 

Nintendo went live this morning with its big summer Direct, and even if all you were waiting for was a big Zelda reveal, it did not disappoint. While we still haven’t received the release date for the new Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake remake yet (it is coming this year though), Nintendo’s new Star Fox game is definitely releasing in a just couple weeks now, and you can try it for FREE on Switch 2 starting right now. 

Nomad is expanding its stellar orange accessory lineup today to match your Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro.
