The Snack World is Level-5’s latest attempt at building a multi-media franchise. The Snack World: Trejarers was released for 3DS in Japan last August. Today, the latest issue of CoroCoro Comic has revealed that a port of Trejarers will be released on Switch. Unfortunately, that’s all the info we have on it right now – we don’t know a release date yet or any details on how the port is being handled. We will keep you updated should further information be released.

Leaked video of Switch version 5.0.0 confirmed fake
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 75 Comments
Update 2 (1/10): At this point it’s hardly a surprise, but the person behind the video has come forward, confirming that it’s fake:
Well guys, I'm sorry.
The Switch 5.0 Leak is OFFICIALLY fake! I'm proud to announce that I was behind the mock-up that so many of us wish that @NintendoAmerica learns from.
Thank you to everyone for your kind words, and lets all pray for a direct soon! pic.twitter.com/T17qu3FIpx— NintenFanart (@NintenFanart) January 11, 2018
Update: A couple of red flags have been pointed out since the video first made the rounds. First, the YouTube icon pictured isn’t the latest logo. Secondly, while Mario Kart 8 Deluxe seems to be shown on the console as a digital download, that would take up 6.8GB of memory – yet it only shows that 2GB is used in the video. For now we unfortunately have to lean much closer to this being fake.
Original (1/5): A new video has made its way online that claims to offer a look at Switch version 5.0.0. It shows a few significant features, including folders, the ability to create an online lounge, cloud storage, themes, and more.
Here’s the video in question:
The video does an admirable job of coming off as legitimate, but in this day and age, you can never be too certain. We’ve definitely seen realistic “leaks” in the past that ultimately turned out to be fake. In any case, we should know if this is the real deal fairly soon, as the person who uploaded the video claims the firmware launches in early February. For now, take this with a big grain of salt.
GameStop’s internal system adds six new SKUs for unknown Switch games
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Random, Switch | 61 Comments
Listings for a ton of unknown Switch titles popped up on Amazon about two weeks ago. Shortly after they were discovered, each one was removed. All of the listings had generic names and an image stating that they were announced at a Switch event.
Now we’re seeing something similar with GameStop. This week, six new SKUs were located within the retailer’s internal system. They’re all labeled “Available SKU”. It doesn’t seem that any of these games can be pre-ordered at the moment.

Scribblenauts Showdown listing shows Switch version
Posted on 6 years ago by Joshua in News, Switch | 0 comments
As you may remember, we posted a leak in regards to a mysterious new game: Scribblenauts Showdown.
The game now appears to have a Switch listing on Play Asia, a chief gaming import site. It lists a European version launching on March 9.
This listing, combined with the previous leak, makes things look quite promising. And with the rumored Direct this month, maybe we’ll hear from Maxwell sooner rather than later.
