During the June 18 Nintendo Direct, a number of big games were revealed that would conclude the Nintendo Switch's life cycle, but one leaker tried to spoil the fun, and no one paid attention.
Switch 2 CONFIRMED; Reveal March 2025!!! + Nintendo Direct in June
A user on the ResetERA forums appeared out of nowhere and brazenly stated that they were “betting on a top-down LoZ game starring Zelda and a new Mario and Luigi title… their Brothership is too iconic, you know,” which happened to be two games revealed during the 40-minute show: Mario & Luigi: Brothership and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
Fans didn’t notice the leak until after the direct, because no one took the post seriously. Why would they? Everyone before a Nintendo Direct is just throwing speculation out into the world, so it’s hard to tell what’s real and what’s not.
In addition to the two games mentioned, the Nintendo Direct also treated us to a slew of big titles coming out in the coming year, including a new Mario Party with an online battle royale-style mode for 20 players and the re-reveal of Metroid Prime 4, due out in 2025.
