Nintendo leaker: New ‘classic style’ Star Fox game, Zelda Ocarina of Time remakes are coming this year

Fox McCloud will follow up his appearance in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie this year with a new game of his own, according to a prominent leaker’s new report.

Noted Nintendo insider NateTheHate said on a new podcast episode today that a “classic style” Star Fox game will be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 this summer, and it will also include online multiplayer. This would mark the first new game in the Star Fox franchise since 2016’s Star Fox Zero for the Wii U, so it’s been a long time coming.

But the excitement doesn’t end there. The insider also said The Legend of Zelda franchise will be celebrating its 40th anniversary in a massive way: with an “Ocarina of Time remake for Switch 2.” The extent of the remake is unclear, but it appears to be a bigger undertaking than 2011’s 3DS remake of one of the most beloved games ever made.

Zelda’s 40th anniversary passed last month, but the festivities will be ongoing over the next year, as is the same for Super Mario and his own anniversary since last year. But NateTheHate says that fans should not expect a 3D Mario title this year, unfortunately, but it will be coming some time in 2027.

NateTheHate says the new Star Fox may be revealed soon, and that “the visuals are supposed to be very good.” With the Switch 2’s hardware, the expectations for graphics and framerate are higher than ever, and with a potential multiplayer spaceship combat game, we may be seeing some of the best the console has to offer yet.

Fox McCloud making an appearance in the new Super Mario movie and then having his own game follow soon after sounds similar to what happened in the original film, when Nintendo revealed a controversial redesign for Donkey Kong and then eventually launched Donkey Kong Bananza a few years later.

Are you excited for an Ocarina of Time remake or a new Star Fox game? If true, I feel like they will both yet again be system-sellers for the Switch 2, so make sure you grab one while you can before they fall victim to a price hike like the PS5.

Crimson Desert is a single-player game but you don’t have to enjoy your adventures alone. While you can complete all the quests and content on your own, you can do so with your beloved pet. Obtaining your animal companion takes a bit of time when you begin your adventures, and there are two choices to consider.

But first, let’s find out how pets work in Crimson Desert.

Update: Added a table for all types of pets and their favorite food items (offers biggest boost to trust).

How pets work in Crimson Desert

Crimson Desert has a trust system that works between your character and animals. The trust mechanic begins at zero and goes up to 100. This system is universal for all pettable animals, which are two in the current version of the game.

• Cats
• Dogs

The process of getting a pet varies slightly based on your choice.

• If you want to pet a dog, walk up to the animal, and press the applicable button for the interaction prompt.
• If you want to pet a cat, pick it up by getting close to it. Then, select the carry prompt to pet the creature.

When you pet a creature, you gain +5 trust. You can gain up to 25 trust with an animal companion in a single day from this method.

Pets are immensely helpful when they’re active, as they help bring back the loot you get from defeated enemies. However, they will loot everything they can as there’s no filter available in the current build of Crimson Desert. However, it’s still beneficial to have them active; otherwise, you’ll be spending a lot more time getting different loot.

All pets and their favorite foods in Crimson Desert

The table below has a list of all the pettable animals I have found, along with their favorite food items.

Name	Type	Favorite Meat
Cat	Cat	Squid
Short-Haired Kitten	Cat	Small Gudgeon
Fat Cat	Cat	Sockeye Salmon
Long-Haired Cat	Cat	Mackerel
Kitten	Cat	Fish Fillet
Desert Cat	Cat	Egg
Slim Cat	Cat	Pond Loach
Short-Haired Cat	Cat	Egg
Saluki	Dog	Fine Meat
Pointy-Eared Bulldog	Dog	Egg
Shepherd	Dog	Bird Meat
Floppy-Eared Bulldog	Dog	Cheese
Boarhound Puppy	Dog	Lean Bird Meat
Husky	Dog	Bird Meat
Jindo	Dog	Sweet Potato
Greyhound	Dog	Fine Meat
Boarhound	Dog	Lean Bird Meat
Beagle	Dog	Sweet Potato

How to add more pets in Crimson Desert

The key to gaining a pet is to take your trust to 100. Once that’s achieved, hold the selection button and press the Claim option. This will register the dog/cat as your pet. You can have up to 30 pets for your adventure, but only one can be active at any given moment.

How to use food to gain trust in Crimson Desert

While playing with cats/dogs helps to gain trust, there’s a daily cap on that. A better way is to use food items. Feeding also helps to improve your trust with them, but there’s a daily cap as well.

• Tough Meat (Feed to a Dog for 10 trust)
• Fine Meat (Feed to a Dog for 35 trust)
• Bird Meat (Feed to a Cat for 10 trust)
• Fish (Feed to a Cat for 10 trust)
• Milk (Feed to a Cat for 10 trust)

Food items have a cap of three per day. In simple words, you can feed a creature at most three times in a given day. If you max out the daily caps, you’ll be able to gain a new pet every two days. The only exception to this is Fine Meat, which allows you to gain a new pet in a single day. However, you’ll have to spend coins at a vendor to get the item.
