Switch Rumor Archive Redux (Read posting rules in OP)

[ReyVGM]

Admin Edit: This is a general Nintendo rumor discussion thread. Do not turn this thread into an indefinite Nintendo Direct countdown thread or a Pokemon rumor thread, or we'll be forced to lock it. Furthermore, do NOT post new rumors in this thread. Anyone that wants to post new rumors can create their own threads.

Here are some ground rules for posting in the thread:

-Refrain from posting new leaks/rumors here. This is an archive. Please post new leaks on their own threads like it has always been done. After they have been posted on their relevant thread and a moderator has allowed it, then it can be archived here. This is done to avoid cluttering the thread with a bunch of unreliable rumors.
-Absolutely do not post any Nintendo Direct rumor, or ask for updates about them, or hype, or "reset the clock" posts. If you have a credible Direct rumor, then make a new thread for it.
-Avoid posting Pokemon rumors, specially Pokemon starter rumors. Most are usually fake, and if you have a credible Pokemon rumor, then make a new thread.
-Do not post Smash Bros rumors. If you have a credible Smash Bros rumor, then make a new thread.
-When contributing current or old leaks, please provide a SOURCE.
-Only Switch leaks will be accepted so far. It might spill into 3DS too if the rumors are related.
-Only leaks from credible people/websites will be posted. In the case of unknown/regular users or sites, the leak will be added after a moderator has verified the user is in a position to get insider knowledge, or after the general community has vetted if it's plausible.
-No 4chan rumor will be posted until it has been verified after-the-fact.
-For old leaks, I will also accept the ones that are now known to be incorrect or fake, as long as the source is someone that has/had a good reputation or from a credible website. So yes, any Emily Rogers, Laura Dale, 10k, Supermetaldave, Liam rumor that turned out to be incorrect will be posted.

Link to old thread: https://www.resetera.com/threads/switch-rumor-archive-read-posting-rules-in-op.16589/

I've always been fascinated with how some unlikely games can be rumored for months, then be totally forgotten, only for the game to be eventually announced. So, I've always wanted to have a central place where you can keep up with the current accepted leaks/rumors, and also look back at when/who/where leaked something, and when or if it came true.

I would also like to see gyro controls. The COD games on Wii U still supported Wii Remotes so I have no reason to doubt that Treyarch would overlook the feature.

If any COD game would land on switch it would probably be this one so I guess we'll see how that goes.
Hopefully Nintendo doesn't Nintendo it barring Activision from talking about it till later

Payday 2 has co-op offline wireless, which works really well from what I've played so far. Obviously no voice chat yet/if ever, but I'd imagine COD working just as well!

Notably he's not yet confident enough to say it's BO4 (or whatever COD 18 is gonna be). That's probably still the most likely option, but they could surprise us with a Modern Warfare 2 remaster or something as well even if his sources are good.

I hope Treyarch are back on the Switch port as they've had a 100% perfect attendance record for Nintendo console CODs. Only N-Space was the odd one out but only because they did the DS ports.

Also, here's a question, what the hell happened to our Nintendo Treyarch bud A_Trey_U? His twitter's been inactive since Ghosts came out in 2014 and we don't even know if he's still at Treyarch. He was like one of the main faces of Treyarch's Nintendo team.

Hey ReyVGM, spanish journalist here. I can confirm that Jose_Strife is not a reliable source. Also, he is not a journo. He creates fake posts or obvious predictions based in interviews and reliable leakers like Emily Rogers. F.e. he "predicted" that at the past E3 Square-Enix would announce release date for KHIII. When a "prediction" is proved to be fake he then deletes the post.

Another example, the Animal Crossing thing. He "leakes" it when EVERYONE in the press media was talking about it because Nintendo told that the phone app will interact with the Switch version.

This post in KH13 resumes everything:

Nolan north confirmed that the last of us sequel was in development 2 years ago at a con. Jose made a "leak" like a month or two before e3 last year. I wouldn't trust anything that this douchebag posts.

Si, yo lei sus comentarios originales tambien. My entry doesn't say he's a journalist. The problem here with him not being reliable is that he 'leaked' a Prime style Metroid at a time where people thought the franchise was dead, 6 months before the E3 announcement even, and days before Reggie's comments about Metroid. The Switch wasn't even out and we didn't even know what games were coming to the system. He also "leaked" a Fire Emblem game and gave a time frame, and one already released. So it's really hard to determine when someone is speculating or leaking when they themselves throw it out there as a leak and then it also turns out to be right.

Unfortunately, if someone leaks something claiming to have gotten it from a source (even if it's a lie), then I'll add it to the thread if the rumor seems credible. I don't know about the KH3 rumors, but the Nintendo stuff was very close, even if he was internally just speculating. Unless he comes out and says he was speculating and just got lucky, then it stays on the OP. I really can't be playing favorites. I got "called out" on the old thread for only putting confirmed rumors because people also wanted the ones that turned out to be fake, but people also get angry when people like Marcus Sellars get added. So I'll just add what I consider to be worthy, even if they are llenos de mierda.

So he's kind of like the Mexican version of Marcus Sellars.

I don't know if he's Mexican. There are over 20 countries with Spanish as their language, he could be from any of them.
