Nintendo published an updated release schedule in its latest financial report, providing new launch windows for several marquee franchises on Nintendo Switch.

The report reiterates previously announced slots and adds a handful of new entries to the company’s roadmap for 2026 and 2027.

Paraphrasing the report’s headline items: Nintendo confirmed that Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is planned for a September release window, while Nintendo Switch Sports is slated for October.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time appears on the schedule with a 2026 launch window.

Looking further ahead, Xenoblade Genesis and Pokémon Winds/Waves are listed with 2027 target windows.

The company also included a graphic showing the full release schedule for August 2026 in the report.

The report does not assign firm calendar dates for titles outside those windows, nor does it expand the slate for 2027 beyond the entries noted.

In journalistic terms: Nintendo provided specific month targets for some titles, a 2026 window for a newly listed Zelda entry, and designated certain franchise projects for 2027, while leaving other future releases unspecified.

These scheduling updates were embedded in Nintendo’s broader financial disclosure, alongside the company’s latest fiscal results and its regularly updated million-sellers list.

The financial report functioned as the publisher of record for the release windows, and Nintendo included a visual schedule graphic as part of the filing.

What this means for players and retailers: concrete months are now available for select titles, which helps platform holders, eShop planners and retail partners prepare marketing and distribution timelines.

For games listed with only a year window, Nintendo’s report preserves flexibility while signaling active development.

Nintendo has not announced additional specific release dates beyond what is contained in the financial report.

Fans and industry watchers can expect any further scheduling detail to come through Nintendo’s official channels, including future financial filings and company presentations.

Stay tuned for updates to Nintendo’s release calendar as the company publishes more information through its official reports, announcements and Nintendo Direct presentations.
