Rumor: Nintendo Switch launch game details + more Zelda delays


Another day another Nintendo Switch rumor...or a few. According to Laura dale,who leaked the NX correctly back in August,has now come forward with more details on what games will launch with the Nintendo Switch and the status of Zelda Breath of the Wild.

On Zelda: it seems that the Breath of the Wild is indeed missing the launch of the Switch and won't release until Summer of 2017. Nintendo still plans to release a Wii U version but both Wii U and Switch versions will release simultaneously.

On Mario: The Mario game they briefly showed off in the Switch reveal trailer will be a launch title and the game has been in development for a while.The game will also follow closely to the style of Super Mario 64 and Galaxy series instead of the 3D land/World series. "Mario Switch" will also feature co-op but it'll have a tether method to keep other players advancing too far from the other player. Nintendo will also have a playable demo for the press in the January event. finally Laura knows the name of the new Mario title but refuses to share it as she's unclear if the name is real or not.

On Splatoon: the port of Splatoon will have a new 1 VS 1 mode where players can switch weapons at will during the match. Nintendo also plans to add additional single player content and will release free content thru updates,similar how Splatoon was handled on the Wii U.

On Switch units/bundles: There will be two units for the Nintendo Switch. One will be the basic unit and the other will be more expensive that includes more memory and will include Splatoon as a pack-in game.

On Skyrim: Skyrim port is real despite Bethesda denying it earlier. The port will include modding but only from pre existing models and textures found in game. Finally the Skyrim port will also be a launch title for the Nintendo Switch.

So what do you think about these rumors? Does any of these excite you? Also keep in mind that these a re rumors and nothing is confirmed until Nintendo says otherwise!
