Leaker NateTheHate has renewed claims that a new Star Fox entry will be revealed in June for a next-generation Nintendo platform that leakers commonly call the "Nintendo Switch 2." NateTheHate made the statements on ResetEra, reiterating his confidence in the project's legitimacy while attributing additional reporting to other outlets and commentators.
In journalistic terms, NateTheHate said he has no doubt the Star Fox project exists and indicated that if an official reveal does not occur in June, the delay would likely be a marketing decision rather than evidence the project is untrue.
He also referenced coverage reportedly coming from outlets such as VGC and comments from a French journalist, framing those mentions as corroboration from other sources.
Separately, he pushed back on skepticism about other recent Nintendo titles, noting that early doubts had proven incorrect in past cases.
Verified context: Star Fox is a long-running Nintendo franchise that began on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1993.
The series’ most famous entry, Star Fox 64, launched in 1997 on the Nintendo 64.
Over the years, development duties have rotated among studios: Rare developed Star Fox Adventures for GameCube (2002), Namco contributed to Star Fox Assault on GameCube (2005), Q-Games developed Star Fox Command for Nintendo DS (2006), and PlatinumGames collaborated with Nintendo on Star Fox Zero for Wii U, released in April 2016.
The IP is managed by Nintendo, with Nintendo EPD and various external partners stewarding different entries.
Nintendo has historically used platforms such as Nintendo Direct to announce major first-party releases and the Nintendo eShop as a primary digital distribution channel on the Switch family of systems.
Reporting about future projects commonly emerges from a mix of official presentations, publisher statements, and independent leaks; credible confirmation typically comes from Nintendo’s own communications.
