Nintendo has announced, in a new social media post, that Rhythm Heaven Groove will release for Nintendo Switch on July 2. A new trailer has also released, showcasing one of its many minigames: “Slice ‘N’ Dice Kitchen.”
The new minigame will prompt players to catch food while cooking, in time with humming. The game features music produced by the Japanese musician Tsunku♂. Currently, it is unknown whether the game will have an upgraded version for Nintendo Switch 2. Groove marks the first entry in the Rhythm Heaven franchise since 2015, with Rhythm Heaven Megamix. Check out the new trailer for Rhythm Heaven Groove below:
Recent reports from Video Games Chronicle and credible leaker Natethehate have revealed that a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will release in 2026. Additionally, a new Star Fox game will release in the “very near future.” Natethehate states that the new Star Fox will be “classic style,” with great visuals and online multiplayer. Further, a new 3D Mario won’t release until 2027.
Instead, we will get a full remake of Ocarina of Time to commemorate The Legend of Zelda franchise’s 40th anniversary. He also reveals that we may not get a general direct until June 2026, though we may get social media updates for Splatoon Raiders, Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, and Nintendo Switch 2 Editions of both Pikmin 4 and Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
While the validity of these rumors haven’t been confirmed and may not be verified for several months, it would fall in line with Nintendo’s recent behavior. Over the past few months, it has revealed new details for major games such as Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream and Yoshi and the Mysterious Book via shadow-dropped trailers and dedicated directs.
Lastly, Rhythm Heaven Groove will release on July 2 for Nintendo Switch.
