Ahead of a slate of upcoming Nintendo Direct presentations, a string of claims attributed to an online insider known as Malo932 has circulated through leak-tracking outlets and social channels.
Nintendo Direct broadcasts have been Nintendo’s primary channel for first-party announcements since the series began in 2011, and the Nintendo Switch platform (released March 3, 2017) remains the focal point for many fans and developers — which is why unverified lists of potential reveals draw so much attention.
What was reported
Multiple sources aggregating industry rumors have highlighted a list of projects attributed to the account Malo932.
According to those compilations, the items alleged to be in development or planned for announcement include:
- A new Super Smash Bros. game
- A new Nintendogs title
- Mario Kart World DLC planned for 2027, reportedly featuring Fox McCloud
- A new Star Fox game described as similar in tone to Star Fox Adventures
- A new 3D Mario project
- A new Wario Land entry
- A new 2D Metroid
- A pixel-art remake of Super Metroid
These claims have been circulated by leak aggregators and discussed on YouTube channels that cover Nintendo news.
GameXplain, for example, is a long-running channel that analyzes Nintendo announcements and community rumors; other aggregator accounts collect and repeat such tip lists for readers to evaluate.
Rewriting key statements
Industry reporting has summarized the situation this way: an insider operating under the handle Malo932 posted a series of early claims about Nintendo’s Direct plans and potential projects prior to the presentation cycle.
Some outlets credit Malo932 with early tips that aligned with later official reveals in the past, but many of the current claims remain unproven and unconfirmed by Nintendo.
How to read these lists
Journalists and industry observers advise caution: these are unverified rumors, not company announcements.
Nintendo traditionally debuts first-party titles and DLC details during Nintendo Direct broadcasts and via the Nintendo eShop, but until Nintendo provides official confirmation — through its Direct, press release, or eShop listing — these items should be treated as speculative.
We will update coverage as Nintendo publishes official information during its Direct presentations.
Readers should watch the scheduled broadcasts and official Nintendo channels for confirmed release dates, platforms, and developer details.
