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.

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.

Saber Interactive and Wired Productions have announced that the physical retail version of Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn will contain “super-secret day one additional DLC content”. Those who buy the product at launch will receive “more Fu than they could have possibly imagined”.
Unfortunately, most of the specifics are currently being kept a secret. The “Bonus Fu” DLC will apparently “not only raise a few eyebrows on launch day when it’s revealed but will extend the gaming experience with new levels and a bonus famous main character.”
