It’s no secret that a Nintendo Direct will be held in just a few hours from now. We don’t have to tell you that there’s a high probability that these SKUs are related. Once the presentation ends, it’s possible that GameStop will begin taking pre-orders for whatever these products are soon after.

Posted on 6 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News, Switch | 0 comments
In addition to Mario Tennis Aces, Rakuten Books also leaked something else: Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido, a 3DS game that was announced at last year’s E3 and hasn’t been heard from since, seems to be coming to Nintendo Switch as well, as you can see by the game’s boxart. Rakuten Books listed the game as releasing on June 8th this year. The 3DS version is also supposedly launching on the same day.
We will likely hear something official about this, including a Western release, in today’s Nintendo Direct.
