  • Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream
    • Developer: Nintendo EPD Production Group 7
    • Release: Spring 2026, Switch 1
    • Notes: Definitely an inhouse game since it is modulesystem engine. Only question is whether it is EPD7 (or if it's been reorganized) and if there is a familiar or unfamiliar assist developer.
    • Star Fox
      • Developer: ????
      • Release: Summer 2026, Switch 2
      • Notes: A couple of different possibilities. Could be EPD/SRD and another assist developer. Could be mainly developed outside at Velan Studios. I'm leaning towards EPD lead with examples like Donkey Kong and Pikmin.
    • Rhythm Heaven Groove
      • Developer: Nintendo EPD Production Group No.04 / Indies Zero
      • Release: Summer 2026, Switch 1
      • Notes: Most likely the same combination team EPD/Indies Zero we saw on Big Brain Academy / NES Remix.
    • Switch Sports for Nintendo Switch 2
      • Developer: Nintendo EPD Production Group No.04
      • Release: Summer 2026, Switch 2
      • Notes: Definitely an EPD game since the patents already show EPD programmers behind some of the new mini games. Could Eighting assist on some of the mini games?
    • The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 2026
      • Developer: Nintendo EPD Production Group No.03 / ??
      • Release: Fall 2026, Switch 2
      • Notes: Could resemble the structure of the Champion of Ballads DLC where still EPD/SRD/Monolith but more Monolith heavy. Also probably more art outsourcing to outside devs. Something tells me that EPD/SRD programmers will be involved on maybe using some of the initial engine that the next Zelda will use — ala Wind Waker HD. Or it could just resemble the way EPD produced and directed the Grezzo Zelda games.
