NateTheHate, writing separately, confirmed the Direct &#8220;will take place next week, the second week of June \u2014 that is the week of the 8th.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Crucially, NateTheHate has already proved his Nintendo credentials: he accurately predicted the Star Fox announcement weeks before it was officially revealed at the Star Fox Direct on 5 June 2026. That track record makes this particular leak harder to dismiss.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Important caveat:<\/strong> Nintendo has made no official announcement. If the company confirms (or reschedules) the event between now and Tuesday, we will update this post.<\/p>\n<h2>When to Watch \u2014 Singapore Time<\/h2>\n<p>Nintendo Directs traditionally air at <strong>6:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time<\/strong>, which converts to <strong>9:00 PM SGT on Tuesday, 9 June<\/strong>. That is an excellent evening slot \u2014 you can watch it live from the sofa rather than dragging yourself out of bed at dawn.<\/p>\n<p>The stream will go out on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/Nintendo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nintendo&#8217;s official YouTube channel<\/a>. There is no registration required; just open YouTube at 9 PM and search for the Nintendo Direct broadcast.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/nintendo-switch-2-star-fox-game.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Star Fox on Nintendo Switch 2\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Nintendo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cWJR_d9gBZ4\" title=\"Star Fox \u2014 Overview Trailer \u2014 Nintendo Switch 2\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>Star Fox \u2014 Overview Trailer \u2014 Nintendo Switch 2 via Nintendo of America on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>The Headline Rumour \u2014 Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake<\/h2>\n<p>The announcement that fans are most loudly hoping for is a remake of <em>The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time<\/em> for Nintendo Switch 2. NateTheHate has said the title is coming in 2026, with a holiday window being most commonly cited by the community.<\/p>\n<p>The timing has a neat logic to it: 2026 marks the <strong>40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda<\/strong>, which first launched in Japan in February 1986. A rebuilt Ocarina of Time \u2014 widely considered one of the greatest games ever made \u2014 would be a fitting anniversary centrepiece, and Switch 2&#8217;s hardware has no trouble doing the original justice.<\/p>\n<p>Again, <strong>Nintendo has not confirmed this title<\/strong>. But with NateTheHate&#8217;s credibility freshly validated by the Star Fox call, the Zelda community is treating this as a near-certainty rather than idle wish-listing.<\/p>\n<h2>Other Switch 2 Reveals to Watch For<\/h2>\n<p>A full Nintendo Direct rarely hangs on a single announcement. Based on what is known about Nintendo&#8217;s 2026 roadmap, here are the other segments Singapore gamers should pay attention to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fire Emblem: Fortune&#8217;s Weave<\/strong> \u2014 Announced for 2026 but still without a firm release date. A tactical JRPG with serious Singapore fandom; a date reveal here would be huge.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Splatoon Raiders<\/strong> \u2014 Launching 23 July, so a deep-dive trailer and potentially a Splatfest announcement are on the cards.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Third-party ports<\/strong> \u2014 Elden Ring and Red Dead Redemption 2 have been named in community speculation circles as Switch 2 candidates. Neither is confirmed; treat these as hopeful noise rather than expectation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A new 3D Mario<\/strong> \u2014 NateTheHate has said this is a 2027 title, so a first-look teaser is possible but not guaranteed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Switch 2 Games Already Confirmed for 2026<\/h2>\n<p>To put the Direct in context, here is where the Switch 2 slate currently stands:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Final Fantasy VII Rebirth<\/strong> \u2014 Already out (launched 3 June 2026)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Star Fox<\/strong> \u2014 25 June 2026<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rhythm Heaven Groove<\/strong> \u2014 2 July 2026<\/li>\n<li><strong>Splatoon Raiders<\/strong> \u2014 23 July 2026<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pok\u00e9mon Winds &amp; Waves<\/strong> \u2014 2027 (no firm date yet)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A strong Direct on 9 June would fill in the gaps in that calendar and carry the Switch 2&#8217;s momentum well into the second half of the year.<\/p>\n<h2>Last Words<\/h2>\n<p>Singapore gamers, set your alarms for <strong>9 PM on Tuesday, 9 June<\/strong>. If Jeff Grubb and NateTheHate have it right, this could be the most packed Nintendo showcase since the Switch 2 launch last year \u2014 and a Zelda: Ocarina of Time reveal would make it an all-timer.
