A new rumor is making the rounds about potential Switch titles that will be featured at E3 2018 in June. Fortnite, Dragon Ball FighterZ, and Overcooked 2 are just a few of the games highlighted.
The image above was posted on 4chan, which is where most are referencing as the rumor’s origin. However, a PR printing company and LA print shop employee may be involved here. The document could very well be a part of E3 showroom display planning.

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors | 0 comments
Atlus announced Persona Q2 for 3DS last August. Little information was shared at the time, and that still holds true today. Atlus’ Kazuhisa Wada did at least say this week that the team is still “hard at work” on the game.
As Atlus continues to remain quiet, some Persona Q2-related assets may have been uncovered from the PlayStation dancing music / rhythm games Persona 3: Dancing Moon Night and Persona 5: Dancing Star Night. Images were datamined, possibly showing what Persona 5 characters may look like in the 3DS game.

That wasn’t the only recent datamine for Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Moosehunter, who has datamined the RPG previously, also apparently uncovered extra tidbits.

Rumor: Pokemon Switch reveal happening soon, unconfirmed details
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
It’s been a busy start to the week for Nintendo rumors. In the latest round of speculation, Pokemon is the focus.
Nintendo and The Pokemon Company are supposedly gearing up for a reveal very soon. Emily Rogers, who has been both correct and somewhat off with past rumors in the past, claims that an announcement will be happening by the end of the month. Rogers brings up Pokemon GO as she suggests fans consider what that mobile game could mean for the future of the series. The name and branding may also “raise a few eyebrows.”
Rumor: Retro had a project other than Star Fox: Grand Prix in the pipeline, but might be cancelled

The rumor mill has been swirling today with speculation about Star Fox: Grand Prix. Supposedly, Retro Studios is working on this new project for Switch, which is drawing comparisons to Diddy Kong Racing. Among what’s speculated to be included in the game is a story mode and boss battles.
Star Fox: Grand Prix apparently wasn’t the only title Retro had been working on since Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, though it may never see the light of day. Kotaku reports that “Retro had a separate project that went through a rocky development cycle and may in fact be canceled.”

Rumor: Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Switch case appears at GameStop
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
When Activision unveiled Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 in March, Switch was not included among the confirmed platforms. But a new discovery at GameStop is giving hope that the shooter will make its way to the system after all. Today, Twitter user AUGMC snapped a photo showing a Switch case for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 at the retailer.
Activision will be blowing out Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 at an event later this week. If a Switch version is happening, perhaps we’ll hear about it then. Activision could also choose to announce it even further down the road – something that has happened with other Nintendo platforms in the past. Of course, nothing is confirmed, so take this with a grain of salt for now.
Thanks to Jes T for the tip.
Rumor: Even more evidence of plans to put Paladins on Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
On two separate occasions, signs have pointed to a possible Switch version of Paladins. The rumor cycle started at the end of November when updated engine config files referenced Nintendo’s console. Then just last month, an “Oasis” codename was discovered that pointed to a Nintendo account.
Dataminers have gone to work once again. In the latest update, it’s been found that Joy-Con images are included next to the Xbox One and PS4 controllers pictures. They are intended to appear in the options menu, likely to remap controls.

Rumor: Retro Studios working on a Star Fox racing game
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
We don’t need to point out how quiet Retro Studios has been since 2014. That was when the company’s last game, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, first appeared on Wii U.
Retro Studios is back in the news with some new speculation that has surfaced over the past couple of days. Alleged leaks claim that they’re working on the new Switch game Star Fox Grand Prix.
