Now what’s interesting to note is that all three leaked titles were initially launched on the GameCube. And the Mario maker going for a ‘re-release route’ of its iconic games is nothing new. Previously, the developer has done it with the 3DS titles as well. Furthermore, there’s also a Metroid: Prime remaster, rumored to be coming later this year.

Thus, going by what Zach has mentioned in the video, as per the leaks, all these games might be revealed in a brand new Nintendo Direct. Not just that, but the event may take place next month itself. To be precise, a massive Direct showcase might be unveiled in the first week of September or maybe later in the month.
