Nintendo’s Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is expected to cost $59.99 digitally and $69.99 physically in the US, based on leaked Australian pricing. A 30-minute Nintendo Direct on September 8 will reveal the official release date and gameplay details.
A leak of gameplay for Ubisoft’s Just Dance: Decades of Hits prompted an official statement confirming details will be shared on September 10, 2026. This date aligns with historical patterns for Nintendo Directs preceding the Tokyo Game Show, leading to widespread speculation that a major Nintendo presentation will occur on that day. While Nintendo has not confirmed the event, the timing coincides with expected reveals for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake and From Software’s The Duskbloods.
Nintendo’s upcoming Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for Switch 2 is expected to launch in late 2026, potentially aligning with a November 12 release date suggested by amiibo trends.

Nintendo aired a 20-minute Direct on August 4, 2026, dedicated exclusively to Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. The showcase detailed the game's setting in the Dagdan Empire capital, Dagsion, where fighters compete in the Heroic Games for a single wish. Four key heroes are tied to the world's fate, and the presentation likely clarified gameplay mechanics and the four distinct storylines. This targeted release strategy mirrors Nintendo's recent approach, focusing on one title per showcase. Consequently, fans of the upcoming Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake received no new information, as that title is expected to have its own dedicated showcase later in the year, potentially in late October.

The Morning Checkpoint also covers whispers of a Knights of the Old Republic remake by 2028 and Square Enix ending Final Fantasy XIV Mobile in China, all amid expectations for a Nintendo Direct.
