A mysterious YouTube account known as malo932 has leaked plans for a brand-new Super Smash Bros. game and a returning Nintendogs title on the Nintendo Switch 2. The leak surfaced ahead of two Nintendo Direct presentations scheduled for September 8 and 9, building on previous accurate predictions by the same commenter.
Gaming forums and enthusiast circles are scouring YouTube comments for clues following a string of accurate predictions from an unexpected source. Flying under the radar, malo932 is not a well-known insider, but in March 2026, they made surprisingly accurate predictions. Operating under the username malo932, the commenter has quietly established a track record for forecasting Nintendo hardware and software reveals before major industry insiders publish their own reports. In a YouTube comment, the individual posted a list of upcoming projects that included the Ocarina of Time remake. Additionally, they disclosed a “classic” Star Fox entry before the reputable NateTheHate and the publisher announced it. Most recently, the account indicated that presentations for The Legend of Zelda and general Nintendo updates were coming days before two Directs were officially confirmed for September 8 and 9. Malo also leaked the two Nintendo Directs taking place on September 8 and 9 a week before they were officially announced. It’s unclear where malo932 gets their information. However, the YouTube commenter has seemingly leaked more than five major Nintendo titles over the last six months. What makes the account even more compelling is that some of the user’s information was posted before NateTheHate, who is considered one of the industry’s most reliable insiders.
The Super Smash Bros. Switch 2 Development Rumor
Among the account’s most notable claims is that Nintendo is actively developing an entirely new entry in its crossover fighting franchise rather than simply porting existing software. According to the source who leaked the timing of the events and the modernized Zelda, a follow-up to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is on the way. When another user asked about a potential upgraded port of the previous system’s title, the commenter responded directly.
“No, a new Smash is in the works.”

Many fighting enthusiasts believe that an upgrade for the popular original Switch release is inevitable. Although it’s backward compatible with the new console, developers can enhance the visuals or add characters. Yet, Nintendo could opt to add a new chapter to the Masahiro Sakurai franchise instead. While earlier speculation in May 2026 by insider Reece “Kiwi Talkz” Reilly reported that a fresh Super Smash Bros. game was planned, he later cautioned that it may not be a new title. The malo932 leak challenges that assumption, indicating a dedicated project. What’s a realistic release date? Unfortunately, without an upgrade in the meantime, players will likely need patience for a Super Smash Bros. Switch 2 game. After Kirby Air Riders shipped in November 2025, Sakurai is free to return to the party brawler. Still, such an endeavor would take years, making even a Nintendo Direct debut questionable.
Nintendogs and Other Upcoming Nintendo Titles Teased Online
Beyond the fighting franchise, the same account left cryptic hints regarding the return of a simulation property. Referring to Nintendo’s affinity for distinctive titles, the commenter posted a distinctively playful message.

“Cozy weird games are strong in Nintendo, and maybe another ‘forgotten’ cozy weird Nintendo series is coming back, barking. Wink wink, woof woof.”

Although the pet simulation series was not named outright, observers immediately linked the canine references to the Nintendogs lineup originally popularized on the Nintendo DS. The pet simulator would complement the latest handheld’s touchscreen, internal mic, and Joy-Cons.
Comparing Insider Tracks and 2027 Roadmap Claims
The credibility of the malo932 account rests on its overlap with established figures like NateTheHate. Earlier this year, popular insiders gained credit for leaking remakes such as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, yet eagle-eyed fans later noticed the YouTube account had posted matching details days ahead of those reports. This person also said that a new Switch Sports game was on the way – which turned out to be Nintendo Switch Sports Resort.
Smash Ultimate Sequel LEAKED?!?
The account’s broader list of leaked projects outlines a busy window:
A new 3D Mario experience targeting 2027.
A new Wario Land game possibly launching in 2027.
A Super Metroid remake that is reportedly “close” to being finished.
Star Fox “adventure” game coming.
Mario Kart DLC probably releasing in 2027, may feature Star Fox.
Since we’re already on the topic of rumors, DanielRPK says that the first trailer for The Legend of Zelda’s live action movie will be released next week. That’s not much of a surprise though given the series’ upcoming presentation on Tuesday. As gaming enthusiasts look toward the September 8 and 9 presentations, these unverified leaks remain subject to change until Nintendo makes formal announcements.
