Might be good to clarify in the OP that this is for general Nintendo Rumor Speculation, not an indefinite countdown party until the next direct.

I love LOVE how his subtle tease did fly under people's radar haha
I only see one source in the OP? Hopefully it's coming tho lol. Maybe it'll be at the next Nintendo Direct?
Laura Kate Dale rumoured that Xenoblade Chronicles X was coming to Switch and IIRC the producer hinted that it could happen.
I hope she's right although I hate her leaking of ND details, ruining the surprise.
e.g. the Dark Souls reveal.

What about Konami? Man..I was hopeful they would get a nice "Igavania" for us... but it's almost impossible since Igarashi is the only one who can do that job properly.

Thx for this Thread, i think this is a great idea.
In most cases context makes a big difference (lauras rumors as an example),
maybe this way people will realize that they were not total fabricated,
just that sometimes you have a bad source or things change. (same with most prominent leakers)
In the end, its all for fun and speculation, so i don't get why people become so hostile.

I would hope so, when was the last actual full direct we had that wasn't themed on one game? It's been awhile I think
Besides the Mini one, the last major Direct was September 13th.

I really don't want that. I just wanted to have an archive of leaks/rumors, when they started and when they were confirmed real/fake.
For that reason, I will only post stuff that can derail this thread only when there's already a thread about it. So I'll be deleting the "nintendo direct this week" posts until a thread for those are made.
Liam Robertson said on his podcast that he was hearing that Square Enix was thinking about porting FF13 to the Switch.
If you're trying to dream up a less hype announcement than Tomb Raider, you have to dream darker (And, yes, FF13 is less hype than Tomb Raider).

Hopefully it comes with XIII-2 and XIII-3. I haven't played those :/
I was thinking the FFX and FFXII remasters could be cool on Switch... XIII never even crossed my mind.
Dragon Quest Builders runs on the same engine as FFX and XII if I'm correct? Don't think we've seen that on a Nintendo platform before.
Could we think up a less hype announcement than FF13 though... That is the question.
It would have to.. those games are like 9.99 every where. Honestly, I miss FF XIII. It wasnt perfect and it was a corridor but it had a amazing music, graphics and the story was confusing but I fucked with it. I'm just nostalgic for it although I never really beat it or liked it like that.
I was under the impression that those games were PS console exclusives. VII-XII haven't been on any console except PS.
Some deal with Square before the merge or something. I'll have to find a source
The battle system saved the game for me. It was so damn fun. Might be my favorite in the series from what I've played honestly.
The music, art and environments were all great too
I mean, what's nuts about it? It's a collection of fairly solid rumors.
We aren't posting countdown gifs or anything.

Imran very strongly implied a few months ago that Konami is developing a new Castlevania for Switch.
I'm actually pretty hype for XIII. lol Looks fun and interests me more than most FF.
Sony exclusivity.
It's probably best to run under that impression to avoid any port begging but I would be interested in seeing a source. I honestly have no idea what the deal is for FFX and XII or how the PC versions came to be.
the problem I see with that is that those 3 games together are too much content for a 59.99 price tag,
I am not sure SE will want to sell all that content for such a low price.
they can always remaster each game individually and price each one 59.99, just like Dark Souls, why should they leave that money on the table?
Sony owned part of SE at the time. These games never had releases for other system (Nintendo or Xbox) besides PC, which we know Sony doesn't care too much about (just look at SFV, a game they funded). You don't even see Square Enix talking about the possibility of porting these games, I feel like it's clear they're exclusive and had Sony tech/money involved.
Of course he is.
Is that a quote from one of the castlevanias or something? I don't remember it, there's only a few a I haven't played though
Liam is, ehhhh levels of good at rumors.
His podcast is Patreon only.
And he didn't sound 100% confident in this or anything, it was just something he heard Square was thinking of doing. I wouldn't include it in the rumor list, I'm just throwing it out there if we want to speculate about Square games and the Switch.
Liam definitely has his sources. Don't count him out
I was going to mention Imran. Not to mention it makes sense with Konami going in a bit on Castlevania with the anime and the NES being prominently featured in the ad for the anime, not to mention there's a Castlevania game on both the NES and SNES Classic.
Anyway, I doubt people are going to be that interested in an FF13 rumor.
I'm just trying to think darker about SE game speculation, lol.

Well, if the rumor is true, Activision/Blizzard has Overwatch Switch in the works.
Personally, I'd be less interested in FFXV. Game still isn't complete, would run worse and would be more expensive.
Aditionally, Tomb Raider reboot is viewed as mediocre, no?
Go through the list of games they have brought to mobile (like Romancing Saga 2) and go from there. Because they certainly like mobile ports.
We're still getting Bloodstained regardless. Me, I'm happy to see Konami take a different approach to the series, as long as it turns out better than Lords of Shadow 2 apparently did (and I'm one of those weirdos who liked Mirror of Fate - come at me!).
