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.

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.

We're keeping this open for now. But I'm posting some guidance from the FAQ regarding rumors and leaks.
Rumors and Leaks: Posting rumors and leaks from external websites is allowed but we ask users to use common sense when doing so. Do not post rumors and leaks from random blogs with no track record. If you believe the rumor you're reading couldn't possibly be true then it is best not to post it here.
*Thanks to ERA Tim Aza for the awesome thread graphics! And thanks to everyone that has contributed to the thread.If you wish to post a leak or rumor yourself on ResetEra you should contact an Administrator so that we can review the information first. Please note that we will not officially endorse leaks posted on the forum and users who knowingly post incorrect information will be banned.
