A new round of Nintendo speculation claims that another Super Smash Bros. project and a new Nintendogs are in development. The claims come from a leaker credited by some Nintendo-focused outlets with previously circulating accurate information regarding hardware feature sets.
Neither Nintendo nor the alleged developers have confirmed either project. With two Nintendo broadcasts taking place on September 8 and 9—the Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct and a general 45-minute showcase—the timing naturally amplifies speculation, leading community discussion forums into intense debates over release windows and gameplay mechanics.
These games should be treated strictly as rumors unless Nintendo announces them through an official presentation or press release. Unverified reports frequently surface prior to major broadcast showcases, and only direct publisher confirmation provides authoritative verification.
