Switch Rumor Archive Redux (Read posting rules in OP)

Could it also be plans just change? The game wasn't running up to Activisions standards or the focus went elsewhere?
No worries -- just keep posting those 20-minute first looks of new games and we're all good. :-)
There was a rumor about the single player mode from this year's CoD being cut and a lot of other stuff with it, possibly including the Switch version. I have no idea where this rumor came from but I've seen people discuss it here.
That's the plan. Got a lot of Switch stuff coming next week -- Battle Princess Madelyn, Everlast, some cat game Hunter something, and currently trying to solve the first stage of Hello Neighbor - Hide & Seek.
I genuinely think that this is likely what happened. I'm not the tin-foil hat type, but it's in the organizers' best interest to maximize viewership. No one is more rabid than the Nintendo fanbase, and they hype trains for Nintendo-related products are unmatched.
They knew this, exploited this by putting information here or there into the ether - and it resulted in the huge disappointment yesterday.
There's NO way, Geoff and his Doritos loving brethren were not aware of Metroid tease after tease throughout the years at events like this, and at this event in the past. They just likely exploited it.
Nah, just a case of a rumour getting a life of its own, and a good reminder to always keep lots of salt pinches handy when dealing with leaks and rumours.
That's a very nice and responsible thing for you to say. In the end, even though people are rightly disappointed by what happened, nothing horrible went down, it's just a game reveal.
That said, you guys should revise your policies about leaks and "insiders". Look what happened with Smash Ultimate and look what happened with MP4. It's only going to get worse. Please, stop hinting at stuff and let people be hyped or disappointed by themselves when reveals happen or don't happen. The current insider culture is very toxic, with honest people getting attacked and wannabe famous making up stuff and playing with fans' wishes. No matter how sure you're of something happening, you can never be 100% sure. Unless you have seen firsthand physical proof of something you should just be quiet.
That and also finally listen to people trying to remind them of things like this and keep hype in check...

oh wow finally a release date rumor that is actually not a placeholder
That sounds adequate.https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_8?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=yoshi+crafted+world+nintendo+switch&sprefix=yoshi+cr,aps,424&crid=26N28XONDIVUT

Can nobody take over this topic? I liked it so much to follow the rumors that could all be found in the topic in a well-organized way ....
Did OP offer to let someone take it over? It couldn't be that bad of a job to take over.

You sweet summer child.
Thanks to everyone who contributed too. But good luck shifting through all the users wanting you to add every BS 4chan/reddit rumor. And good luck navigating all those pokemon/smash rumors once their new games start to get rumored. And good luck deciphering if a leaker is actually hinting at something, or if they are just giving an opinion.
It's going to be your thread now, so you can follow your own rules and add whatever you want. But I would personally avoid adding every single rumor you come across, or else you'll fill out the OP pretty fast. Also, I would always add the original source if possible. For example, if GoNintendo lists a rumor, don't link to GN, but to where they got the info in the first place. However, if GN has a good summary of the rumor, then you could add their link along with the source. In my case I usually add a forum thread, because the thread will always be there and it usually has the original source link, pics and a decent summary of the rumor.
Let me know if you have any other Qs.

Good luck, this will be a tough job. And thanks for taking up the responsibility.
And thanks to ReyVGM for trying this out in the first place, it really was a great idea.

It's still a great idea ( K Samedi ) , I just don't have the time anymore (for now) and all those pokemon/smash rumors and dubious leakers like stealth and marcus sellars really disillusioned me because I didn't know if I should add them or not.
It's really tough to spend time of your day updating an OP with rumors you just know are fake.
It always felt like one of the great things about this thread is it gave evidence as to who had a bad track record. So my take would simply be, put any leaks on here that come from a named source (at least at first), and if any user proves unreliable through this thread, then their future leaks stop getting added.

Lelouch0612 is a perfect fit for this job, thanks for taking over and thanks for all the work in the past ReyVGM
Great work dude and yeah sorry for not getting things done faster. Its been a busy time but I will update you when I have more to say.
DQB2 is 3rd party and multiplatform. Is Switch even lead platform?
Yeah, it will but it will be my way to give something back to the community.
Yep. It could even be improved by introducing a treshold of accuracy. If you are below it, you are no longer referenced. Even the best leakers can be wrong sometimes.
Thanks ! :D
Anyway this is the best thread so thank you so much ReyVGM for starting it and thank you Lelouch0612 for taking it on!
Really appreciated your work in this thread, ReyVGM
Thanks for creating the new thread and taking up this responsibility, Lelouch0612 :)

Based on what some insiders have said I assumed COD fell prey to Switch card costs delaying, halting or cancelling development. Same for GTAV and Spyro. Bethesda wanted to port ESO to Switch but media costs also apparently prevented that.
