Prominent leaker Malo932 reveals Nintendo's potential roadmap, featuring a brand-new Super Smash Bros entry and the revival of the beloved Nintendogs series.
- A completely new Super Smash Bros game is reportedly in development, not just an upgrade to 'Ultimate'.
- The cozy dog-simulation series 'Nintendogs' is expected to make a comeback after over a decade.
- Future titles including a 2D Metroid and a new 3D Mario are rumored for a 2027 launch.
The gaming community is abuzz following new revelations from Malo932, a leaker known for an impressive track record with Nintendo. The latest scoop suggests that a brand-new Super Smash Bros project is underway. Crucially, the leaker specifies that this is not a 'buffed up' version of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate or a mere 'Switch 2 Edition,' but a fresh entry in the legendary brawler series.
Malo932 has previously gained notoriety for accurately predicting the timing of Nintendo Directs and the existence of the 'The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time' remake long before official announcements. This history lends significant weight to the current claims regarding the company's software pipeline.
Why This Matters
BozokMedia analysis shows that Nintendo is strategically diversifying its portfolio. By pairing massive crossover hits like Smash Bros with 'cozy' niche titles like Nintendogs, Nintendo is targeting both the hardcore competitive market and the growing 'wholesome gaming' demographic, ensuring a broad appeal for their next-generation hardware.
"The return of experimental and cozy handheld franchises suggests Nintendo is leaning into its identity as the industry's most creative risk-taker."
Adding to the excitement is the teased return of Nintendogs. In a now-deleted comment, the leaker hinted at a 'cozy weird Nintendo series' returning with 'barking' references. Having sold over 20 million copies in its prime, the dog-management sim is perfectly positioned for a revival in an era where games like Animal Crossing have redefined the 'cozy' genre.
Beyond these immediate hits, the leak outlines a long-term vision. Mario Kart World is expected to receive DLC featuring Fox McCloud next year, while a 2D Metroid, a new Wario Land, and the next evolution of 3D Mario are reportedly slated for 2027.
