Amiibo listings point to possible mid‑November Ocarina of Time remake ahead of GTA 6

Nintendo UK briefly listed two Kirby Air Riders Amiibo with a November 11 date (displayed as November 12 with regional clock) before removing the listings, prompting speculation that Nintendo could schedule a major release in mid‑November. Nintendo has repeatedly released Amiibo on the same day as first‑party game launches, and the Ocarina of Time remake is already slated for a 2026 release window. A mid‑November launch would place Ocarina roughly a week before Grand Theft Auto 6’s November 19 release, creating a rare head‑to‑head in a period most publishers avoided.

• Nintendo UK store showed Sword Kirby and Noir Dedede Kirby Air Riders Amiibo with a November 11 date (adjusted to November 12 with regional clock) and later removed those listings.
• Nintendo often times Amiibo releases to coincide with first‑party game launches, including Mineru’s Construct Amiibo on Sept 17 with Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave (Switch 2), King Dedede & Tank Star Amiibo on July 2 with Rhythm Heaven Groove, and Meta Knight & Shadow Star Amiibo on March 5 with Pokemon Pokopia.
• The Ocarina of Time remake currently has a 2026 release window, making a mid‑November launch calendar‑feasible for Nintendo.
• Grand Theft Auto 6 is scheduled for November 19, and a mid‑November Ocarina release would put it about a week before GTA 6 — notable because most other publishers have avoided releasing near GTA 6’s launch.
