I was hoping we would get both on Switch, where are we at now with rumoured 3rd party games that have yet to be officially announced?

South Partk: TSoT
South Park: TFBW
Overwatch
Fortnite
COD
GTA5
Diablo 3

We also have Ridge Racer, and it's by far my most anticipated rumor. I've been starving for some quality arcade racer and a brand new RR game is all I need. My play time for 3DS and Vita versions of RR games are more than 70 hours each.

Related to the rumor that Fortnite is coming to Switch,

Armature is working on something Fortnite-related :

They worked on ports before so they might be behind the rumoured Switch port.

this isnt new, Armature already works on Fortnite. it's even on their website
http://armature.com/fwp_portfolio/fortnite

as for Call of Duty Switch, I think it's the oft-rumored Modern Warfare 2 remaster than BLOPS4. any lower hanging fruit sounds par for the course for a Switch game

Ridge Racer is not a rumor, that's a leak based on hard info discoverable by anyone first hand. The difference between those is quite important here.

It bugs me that the Vandel leak saids the Mario DLC will have 43 stars to collect.

Stars...

They are Moons now, at least get that right.

But Burnout Paradise was a "leak" too, as it appeared on Brazilian rating boards. And it turned out to be false, anyway.
The Brazilian ratings board has a history of blanket listing several platforms that games do not appear on eventually. I believe we had Earthbound rated for Wii VC many many moons ago form that same place. RR is coming from the horse's mouth, not some third party agency database that can just as easily screw up just like random retail listings.

Seriously!

Yeah. A Twitter account called "Vandal_Leaks", presumably affiliated with the Spanish website Vandal, is piggybacking off of Sellars' claim that we're getting a Direct on Thursday. If they're wrong, that's another source you can blacklist.

For what it's worth, the Vandal_Leaks post of a direct on March 8th happened more than 24 hours before the Sellars tweet, so if anyone is piggybacking off of anyone else, it's the other way around.

The problem is that this twitter account was made and started with this leak, which means basically zero credibility at all. They claim three independent sources were checked (none of which were Sellars), but didn't provide evidence.

I feel like this rumor has a little more weight than the average unreliable "direct rumor", only because it's so specific and soon that anyone who isn't sure would be an idiot to put so much of their credibility on the line (I'm speaking of Sellars, not Vandal, who is essentially anonymous at this point). I know several unreliable sources don't match one reliable source, but several unreliable sources are better than just one unreliable source.

So Marcus is a insider after all? Diablo 3 and now the Direct. Hopefully COD pans out too.

Edit: And Fortnite.

jfc please read

Let's clear something up about Marcus Sellars.
He is not an insider. He is not reliable. His 'rumors' should not be posted here or in new threads here.

What Marcus Sellars does is 'rumormongering'. He goes out of his way to find 'rumors' on the internet and passes them off as his own. He doesn't care if the rumors are by some random person, if they were sent to him by someone unverified, or if they were even posted on sites like era or reddit first. He will read them, post them on his twitter, and pretend he was the first one to start that rumor.

The Dark Souls stuff was being rumored on Era by vern originally, then Marcus Sellars passed it off as his own leak. All of his 3DS leaks (which are false) are taken straight from 4chan. All of his other leaks are just taken from other people.

Even his most recent tweet about a Nintendo Direct on March 8th. He doesn't have a source, he just saw this tweet and copied it.

https://twitter.com/vandal_leaks/status/970637710384947201

To sum up. Don't bother listening to Marcus Sellars. Even if something he posts does turn out right. He just got it from somewhere else and is pretending he has access to 'inside info'.

So if Vandel Leaks was right, these could be true too:

Vandal Leaks could easily just be confusing stars and moons and have general info about the number of macguffins. Not counting on that being legit though, guessing Direct dates isn't exactly the hardest thing to do.

I do wonder why everyone knew about the January direct but everything was so quiet this time.

According to Odyssey Stars are just weirdly shaped moons anyway.

The Vandal tweet at least goes for very specific things. Hard dates, new titles, DLC concepts... I can appreciate that at least, it'll be very easy to disprove if he's full of it.

Exactly. I think this person somehow got access to info about this specific Direct so I am inclined to believe their leaks. Not to mention that the Twitter account is quite erratic but the leaks are all sensible and logical.

I can't believe people are giving credit to Vandal_leaks which is CLEARLY a fake account. Are you insane? Just look at the top of the twitter page for goodness sake.

They just got lucky with the date, that's all.

1. Set up fake twitter account
2. tweet stuff like "Direct on March 8th"
3. If nothing happens delete the account and set up a new one for next week.
4. If it happens...PROFIT

This isn't a crazy idea. I've seen some white papers on doing this sort of thing for Apple announcements.

I would be excited for a DLC in Odyssey, with a new kingdom.

This game have potential to be supported for years if they choose to

I've always thought that leaks that never talk about new stuff (mostly IPs) are too easy to fake, people love the attention and this only helps that.

LOL at the people in this thread telling Nintendo to let the 3DS die. Didn't they just sell like a million 3Ds over the holidays?
