Rumors

LEGO Zelda rumor

Bricktastic claims to have new details about the first LEGO set based on The Legend of Zelda, which will be the previously-rumored Great Deku Tree.

According to the site, the product launches this September. Once again, you’ll apparently be able to choose between looks inspired by Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild – the latter features green leaves while the latter has pink leaves.

Breath of the Wild Port Leak

Midori, a leaker known for correctly predicting numerous tidbits of information regarding Atlus and SEGA games, has come forward with a new claim that Nintendo is working on a project with the codename U-King-O – which could possibly be a port of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s codename is U-King, which means it can be reasonably assumed that this project refers to a port for Nintendo’s next console. It’s also safe to assume that this port would come with improvements; a higher resolution and frame rate would be nearly guaranteed if this were the case.

Switch 2 rumored tech specs

Some fans believe that they’ve uncovered new tech specs for Switch 2, and have apparently done so in a bit of a bizarre way.

Believe it or not, the information seems to have originated from customs and shipping data. Fans have keep keeping an eye on shipments being sent between Nintendo, NVIDIA, and other parts manufacturers. March shipping information only just became viewable this week, and references to a number of new shipments with new codenames have been found that many believe are components for the next Nintendo console.

Donkey Kong cancelled game Vicarious Visions

Vicarious Visions, the studio now known as Blizzard Albany that previously developed projects such as Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2, and some Skylanders titles, was apparently working on a 3D Donkey Kong game at one point. Given the timing here, it should have ended up on Switch had it come to fruition. 

DK Vine previously published a report about the situation this year. While some of the specific details have come into question, Did You Know Gaming today followed up with its own findings.

Yet another round of rumored Switch 2 details have come to light, this time from accessory manufacturer Mobapad who has made products for Nintendo’s current system.

Mobapad first posted the information on its Facebook page. That has since been added to its Bilibili page as well.


Spanish outlet Vandal published the latest report on Switch 2 today and claims to have a few more details about the device. The site’s information was apparently shared by accessory manufacturers.

Valdal first claims that the controllers will be attached magnetically. That’s in contrast to the current Switch which uses a rail system. As of now, it’s unclear if Joy-Con controllers will be compatible with the new system.


Sonic Heroes remake rumor

March 25: A report from Universo Nintendo claims that a remake of the GameCube title Sonic Heroes is on the way, and it will be released on the Switch’s successor.

Little information is known outside of that. The game is apparently being made with Unreal Engine, and could launch in 2025 – though that’s up in the air.

Persona 6 Switch 2 rumor

According to Persona leaker MbKKssTBhz5, Persona 6 will be appearing on Nintendo’s next console. No further details were provided other than it’s happening – apparently.

Atlus hasn’t announced the RPG but it’s only a matter of when, not if. The company has been various entries in the series since Persona 5’s original launch, and considering how long ago that was – 2016 originally and 2017 in the west – there’s no question that it’s deep in development.

Paper Mario Thousand Year Door Luigi's Mansion 2 HD MAR10 Day

If you’ve been waiting to find out when Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door and Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD will be releasing on Switch, the good news is that it may not be much longer. X user Pyoro, who has a habit of leaking Nintendo announcements such as content from Nintendo Directs, now indicates that news about both titles will be shared on MAR10 Day. Presumably that will include updated launch timing.

MAR10 Day, of course, is March 10. That’s Nintendo’s way of recognizing the Super Mario franchise. Most MAR10 Days come and go without much news, with the company focusing on things like bundles and sales. However, we did get the release date for the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 4 last year, so release dates aren’t out of the question.

Switch 2 2025 rumor

Original: Brazilian journalist Pedro Henrique Lutti Lippe has claimed that Switch 2 will be launching in 2025. That was shared during the latest OX do Controle podcast, which is based on what he’s heard from five sources.

If true, that would fly in the face of other rumors reported last year. It was previously claimed by other outlets that Nintendo’s next system would be launching in 2024.
