Best Buy Switch Leaks (Zelda: A Link to the Past, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Persona 5) [Update: Listings removed]

With the multi year delay, there's no need to position Trilogy so close to 4 IMO. It can kinda stand as its own release, kinda like the lengthy gap between the Bayonetta ports and Bayonetta 3.
That said, it should be saved for 2020 though. It would be really good filler for gaps between releases, and 2019 truly doesn't need anything else added to it lol. From Mario Maker onwards Nintendo has a lot scheduled.
Ugh, is it time to get hyped for Metroid Prime Trilogy HD again? I've just got over it last time, finally finishing the first one on the Wii U.
Although I missed a scan on the Frigate so come to think of it that copy can go to hell.
Bring it on!
(LttP is interesting, too. Maybe a surprise LA bundle? Or, even more surprising given how Nintendo are still porting things to the 3DS rather than from it, a LBW port bundle?)

I mean, you say this but Bayonetta Switch came out over a year ago and Bayonetta 3 is going to be 2020 most likely. I don't think Nintendo care too much about the "momentum" part, they'll release it whenever their schedule needs to be filled.
This year? We got Yoshi's Crafted World just last week.
April and May are kinda dry though.
for new major games, yeah. but it's pretty packed otherwise.

boxboy+boxgirl
ace attorney trilogy
and some indie games
That had announcement momentum as Bayonetta 3 was announced 2 months prior to the release of the ports, I don't think we have that here
Yeah, there's a lot of smaller releases. Just no major first-party one. The Switch doesn't have "true droughts".
I am so tired of this endless speculation about persona on switch.
I'd like this to end by a confirmation of wether or not the port is real.
ATLUS way of marketing sucks.

Watch as MPT Switch outsells the previous Prime saga releases (original releases, Japanese NPC, and physical/digital MPT) combined because of dat Switch boost.
It's more or less been confirmed to be real by actual Best Buy employees on this site and a few others. Benji and Wario64 are also sure of it.
Pretty much guaranteed but their timeframe doesn't have to be soon. ALTTP for instance could be a 2020 remake and not be announced until after Link's Awakening releases (or it could be something else entirely). They previously listed Smash for Switch 7 months before its announcement
it's real, that's more than safe to say at this point. it's just a matter of when it's going to get officially announced.
Switch's droughts up to now have hurt, but there have always been some new games to play. Before there wasn't as much third party support to fill the gaps. Now there's plenty and I'm more than satisfied.
Yeah, I've always been in the "persona is coming" camp.
But if these listings don't imply a "soon" release, it means we'd have to watch the end of the months events without getting any confirmation again.
If that's the case, I swear i'll put all the threads on ignore cause this mess has been lasting for far too long lol
Thank you, so since there is this Pikmin World unannounced, we cannot still consider this leak as 100% true. Of course, it is another hint which sums up to the others anyway.
the end of the month event is going to reveal it for japan. just like any other atlus game, it's going to be announced for the west later, and come out later than it does in japan.
"Remember how back in April 2019 there was that supposed Best Buy leak with MPT, Persona 5, and A Link to the Past that fooled everyone?
There's no way Walmart leaking Mother 3 Switch is legit."
... is what we'll be saying a year from now.

I see, thanks you two!
Honestly, i don't care when these are announced / released, if the listing basically confirms these to be the real deal, that's fine and enough for me.
Well, save for Persona. I'm in the camp that's fed up with Atlus' teases, announce the port / re-release / whatever already, and do it with all important information. Same for P5 The Royal.
Yeah, this time last year was a bit problematic with just Wii U ports and indies. Now we have a lot of third-parties releasing older titles and endless indies so no month is going to be completely blank.
The thing is there are 2 Persona 5 rumours. Actually no, we know Persona 5 Royal exists and it will be on the ps4, then there's Persona 5 S (like you said KojiKnight),where I agree that it's the Switch version. Why name them differently? Why not Persona 5 Royal (Switch/ps4)? I swear, if Switch gets a spin-off and ps4 an upgrade what is unlikely imo, Era will melt. I don't think both consoles will get the same version tho. At the end I'm wrong most of the time anyway and I'll be happy to eat crow.
Thinking about Reggies words about Nintendo evaluation the best way to bring the rich content of historic games.
We still haven't seen anything else for the NOS than NES games.
Maybe they've decided to remaster all the SNES/GBA classics. That would generate far more money. Add online functionality and you also ensure the NOS stays alive/generates revenues.
Bloody genious.

What I fear is the event won't even reveal the switch port but some dumb Wtf thing like "persona 5 Stage" which will be an on-stage musical or whatever, and we'll have to wait TGS to get the first official reveal of P5 switch.
Imagine the shitshow here.
I'm half joking cause I really expect the reveal this month, but ATLUS has such shitty marketing that I'm prepared for the worst... :)
i think it's because S isn't the same thing as royal. my guess is that royal is a new additional scenario, S is the compilation of 5 and 5R.

Yup, sounds more and more like The Royal is just the P5 version of The Answer.
LTTP has to be a mistake for links awakening , right? There's no way they're releasing them out of order of announcements
Metroid prime 1/2 in GameCube control like garbage. A FPS where you can't even control the camera directly without stopping in place, lol.
Prime trilogy is the best way to play by far, at the moment, and there's absolutely no chance they release a version without motion controls, because those are way more popular for shooters than not on switch (see:Splatoon)

Link's Awakening has a separate listing, so that can't be the case.
I wonder what form A Link to the Past will release. I assumed they'd eventually as SNES games to online. I doubt it's an eShop port either as Best Buy wouldn't be selling that.
If the Links Awakening remake hadn't been announced, I'd have thought it was a similar style remake.

Not really the same situation, this info isn't meant to be public and the stuff that gets put into the database is supposedly not that easy to tamper with. It doesn't seem very likely that it's a simple mistake.
Best Buy sells digital codes for games as well.
You can buy the digital 3DS version of LttP for example
