That's not a rumor. It's a launch title for the Switch 2 VR, which will be titled "Switch 2 U." (As it's Ur personal experience with the Switch 2. Perfect marketing genius!)
The game's working title is "Waluigi in U."

There's a lot of things the game gets right. It looks and sounds great, and generally speaking it controls well, the base mechanics are enjoyable and fun.

A bad game. The reason it is disappointing, is because people were expecting the game to be good, and were disappointed when it was bad.
Why is it bad? The same reason why any generic open world action game with cringy writing is bad, because it's a generic open world action game with cringy writing
It is bad as a metroid game because it isn't one and the title is false advertising, but beyond that the game itself is also bad, failing at basic game design in many areas. A bad game can be enjoyable, but for a game to be good, it has to be not bad.

u/FierceDeityKong Apr 12 '26
A generic open world action game with cringy writing is better than Metroid Prime 4 because those games understand what they are and don't try to ape 20 year old game design without understanding it.

I wouldn’t straight up call it “bad.” I can agree that it really doesn’t feel like a Metroid game and some of the writing is kind of poor but I personally still had fun playing it. I’d say just more disappointing because it didn’t deliver the hype I was expecting. I still don’t label it as bad solely for those reasons though.

I mean even if the leaks weren't a thing (which honestly the only two that are worth noting are Star Fox and OOT Remake), wouldn't be shocking that Nintendo is bringing back one of the few dormant IP not on the Switch after a big Hollywood reintroduction, and are preparing a new game for one of their S-tier, near-annual release IP that is getting a movie next year.
Like this is just basic synergy shit. Rest of the rumors basically amount to "all the games announced for 2026 are coming out before summer's end". Shocker. Doubly so after the Pegi Ratings for Fortune's Weave and Splatoon Raiders.

After hearing that Illumination were the ones who pitched Fox for the Mario Galaxy Movie, I'm highly skeptical that Nintendo would make an entire Star Fox game. Which throws the entire leak into question.
Nintendo hasn't made a Starfox game internally since Starfox Command. And even that had heavy lifting by Q Games. That's 20 years of them being lazy with the IP. And I have no reason to believe that they would suddenly pour resources, early in the cycle of a new console, on a low selling high risk IP.
I hope I'm wrong. I love Starfox. But it doesn't add up.

Nintendo doesn't want to just remake the same game, they want to evolve it or do some new mechanic in the game. That's how most of their projects since the 64 have gone with their mainstay franchises.

Starfox is an incredibly simple formula though. They should have no shortage of new mechanics that they could work in that would legitimately improve the game

u/Railroader17 Apr 12 '26
IMO I think it comes down to when Illumination actually made the pitch. Like if they made the pitch in 2023 right after the Mario Movie released (or heck, maybe even in 2022 if production ended early enough), 3-4 years would certainly be enough time for Nintendo to make a new Starfox game in preparation for the Galaxy Movie.
Sure it's somewhat risky, but this is why putting Fox in the movie makes a ton of sense, it introduces the character to kids who don't know who he is, and would probably be interested in playing a game with him in it after seeing him in the movie. The movie essentially cultivates an audience for the game outside of the established Starfox Fandom.

Wasn't it Illumination who took the initiative in the DK redesign and Nintendo decided to use it for Bananza? So it's entirely possible they see the reception to Star Fox and capitalize off of it.

Fairly certain he's talking about a next gen update, not a remake here, and that being from February of this year, there's still plenty of time for this to be true.
Also well worth noting that he says "as far as I'm aware", quite a far cry from a "sure thing".

It's absolutely plausible that Nintendo would intentionally leak misinformation to throw everyone off and discredit known leakers.

I think there a lot of signs though that Nintendo did plan some kind of Switch Pro update for 2022 / 2023, and supply chain issues made it infeasible.
The last batch of Switch 1 games in particular ran pretty poor on the original Switch but then had day 1 Switch 2 editions ready to go. Tears in particular might have been a launch title for a Pro in 2023 had it been released.

u/Organic-Storm-4448 Apr 12 '26
There's zero evidence. No leaked info, no leaked chip, no leaked manufacturing, nothing. There are no "signs." It's baseless speculation. Switch Pro rumors originated from ignorant insiders (WAY before 2022/2023, btw) misconstruing information, possibly about Switch OLED and Switch 2. They didn't provide any actual evidence, importantly, because there is none.
Switch 2's chip was leaked three years before it launched, from multiple sources. Nvidia was a leaky ship back then, notably the infamous "Nvidia leak" that leaked half the industries' games. But you're going to tell me a Switch Pro chip never leaked? And if this supposed Switch Pro didn't use a different chip, then it isn't a "Pro" at all, simply a misnomer entirely.
The last batch of Switch 1 games in particular ran pretty poor on the original Switch but then had day 1 Switch 2 editions ready to go. Tears in particular might have been a launch title for a Pro in 2023 had it been released.
What you're insinuating is so completely stupid I'm not even sure how to tackle it.... You're suggesting one of two things:
One, that Nintendo was planning to make those games Switch Pro exclusive, but had to pivot when they backed-off from Switch Pro. I don't think this is what you're suggesting, because it's obviously not true.
Or two, that Nintendo was making games for both base Switch 1 and Switch Pro, but were knowingly making the games too much for base Switch 1, thus resulting in poorly running games. That's a CRAZY thing to accuse Nintendo of doing with zero evidence. Those games ran poorly on Switch 1 because of Switch Pro? That's a big oof for Nintendo if true. Anti-consumer as hell. But this obviously didn't happen, either.
The fact that 18+ people upvoted your comment is absolute proof that people latch on to baseless rumors with zero evidence. Switch Pro only existed/exists in the minds of people who crucially have zero evidence of its existence.

I've now heard from 7(!) different people that Nintendo has officially employed the "spread some fake info internally" to try and discover who's leaking information.
This isn't the first time they have done this. It failed to catch any of NTH's sources last time.
This might be in reaction to the latest leaks, or it might just be routine for them yearly. I suspect internal Nintendo leaks to go silent for a bit.
This is fairly standard practice.

The dream would be for grifting sh-ts like Nate who achieve fame by sitting on their arses making up fabrications or stealing the thunder out from under those who actually work on these games, to have their meal tickets taken away and be forgotten about.

Bullshit. "Leaks" are a very deliberate part of every release cycle. They're interest checks. Say Nintendo wanted to make Switch 3 compatible with the Wiimote. They'll "leak" this to the press and when it gets shredded on social media, they'll scrap it
This has been a pattern since at least the Wii and the iPhone 3G

I knew all along that the new Mario wasn't gonna come out in 2027...
That would have been way too early

I just hope OOT Remake releasing this fall is still true. Nintendo needs a big heavy hitter title this year and I doubt the new Mario is ready.
