Nintendo Everything reports that leaker malo932 claims a brand-new Super Smash Bros. game is in development and suggests Nintendogs may return. Nintendo had not announced either project when the article was published.

DNA Brief

Signal Summary

The report says the rumored Super Smash Bros. project would be a new game rather than a port or similar release, and would very likely target Nintendo Switch 2. malo932 previously predicted upcoming Zelda and general Nintendo presentations that were later confirmed as two Nintendo Directs, but that track record does not confirm these new claims. The article also cites DanielRPK’s separate claim that a trailer for the live-action Zelda film will arrive the following week.

Why It Matters

If confirmed, the claim would point to a new Super Smash Bros. release for Nintendo Switch 2 rather than another port, while a Nintendogs return would revive a series that has not had a newly announced project in this report. For now, neither rumor has been announced by Nintendo.
