With the Nintendo Switch just a few months from release and the presentation with details coming next week; it would seem people anticipating Nintendo’s new console may have just got some new details if the following rumor is to be believed.
The insider known as Geno; who revealed details on the Nintendo Switch almost a year before it was released (when it was still under the codename NX) has dropped a load of new information on Reddit which if true contains some very interesting information regarding the Nintendo Switch, it’s launch line-up and some other games which as of this time have not currently been revealed. There is a lot of information so I’ll just dive straight into it but please remember that until anything official is confirmed by Nintendo or their third party support, all of this has to be taken with a grain of salt.
So he starts off his Reddit post by stating:
“Hello, I’ve been meaning to write this for awhile. I had two things that have been keeping me busy. One is that I’ve been transitioning between two marketing jobs and thus a lot of things I was originally going to post were already announced by Nintendo or leaked by my other friends (I’m still sad Laura got axed. We share similar sources, seriously, do French people know what an NDA is?) so some of this stuff may sound on repeat. I have a ton of info, not all I will post here but I will condense it down (unlike my huge lists on the r/NX which were deleted by mods. I’m still salty about that since it had a lot of good info about Super Nintendo World and Switch that was posted by news sites later.)
I posted on here because I was sad how Dual Pixels handled my previous information. If you have any questions or clarification about any of this let me know and I will attempt to verify as much as I can while keeping me and my contacts safe.”
He then starts to break down the details as follows:
Nintendo’s New Philosophy:
- Nintendo sees the Switch and their new dealings in iOS, Amiibo and promotions as their rebirth for the entire company after the missteps of Wii U and 3DS.
- The Nintendo “Triforce” of heads Kimishima, Miyamoto and Takeda were put in place by Iwata before is passing as part of the company restructure so instead of one President there would be an expert in each major division of Nintendo so Iwata could focus on overall management and other ventures such as mobile, brands and QoL initiatives.
- Nintendo has two philosophies for the Nintendo Switch. One is called “No Excuses”. They felt that part of the failing of the Wii U and 3DS was they allowed to many gaps in criticism of their products for consumers to avoid them. For example, too many gaps between game releases caused Wii U to fall off the cliff and 3DS’s 3D feature being a optional feature means it was underused. The goal of the Switch is to make sure it is a well designed both structure and aesthetics for consumers and developers with constant content of surefire hits and wide game types to avoid this mistake.
- The second philosophy is to go after the “New Casual”. To paraphrase was Iwata conceptualized, the Wii was the “Old Era of Casuals”. In that era, few people were playing games due to the complexity and thus the Wii was designed hardware and software to bring people in. The “New Casual” are players who love both simple games like Tetris and deep games like Call of Duty and Final Fantasy. Their issue is the lack of convenience, most of them are adult millennials and between work, kids and school they have no time to play. Console games take forever to load and install and you have to be at home to fully enjoy them, which is bad if you have to go somewhere. This is why he felt people were going to 3DS, Vita and mobile, but the issue there is that the games are “gotcha” styled casino experiences that don’t engage someone like a home title would. The “New Casual” desire is not to be bound by anything, (s)he wants the controls both simple and complex, to play at home and on the go, to have cake and eat it too with ZERO hassles. No switching devices, software, installations or connections. Turn on. Play. Whenever. Wherever. This is how the Switch was born.
Marketing:
- The Tokyo show will be huge. Developers first party and third will talk about their games, show off feature in a live demo and some will have a exit trailer for future Switch games.
- You will find out a lot about NintendOS, which looks like a modern phone interface but with Nintendo visual language (ie. Rounded Square icons, Animal Helpers, ect.)
- Speaking of NintendOS, a wide number of utility and entertainment apps will be supported. Currently known deals are Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Amazon Kindle, Sling TV, HBO Now, Crunchyroll, LINE, Google Maps, Comixology, Miitomo, Spotify, BBCiPlayer (UK), LoveFilm (UK), N-Sports and GrubHub. Nintendo will also announce partnerships with YouTube, Twitch and NicoNico to allow apps that will allow users to watch dedicated content as well as upload video of supported games to those services.
- The names of all the accessories are JoyCon L and JoyCon R, JoyCon Shell, JoyCon Pro, JoyCon Shoot (similar to the unused Wii U Zapper Concept), JoyCon Wheel (an advance version of the Wii Wheel Concept), JoyCon Arcade (an Arcade fight stick where the Switch Core can also plug into it Independence of the TV) and the JoyView (cheap VR helmet similar in function and low price to the Google Daydream).
- Get ready for not only a ton of Virtual Console games from Nintendo Systems but for Gamecube Virtual Console Games. The first three at launch will be:
- Luigi’s Mansion
- Super Mario Sunshine
- Super Smash Bros Melee.
Future games being looked into by NERD are: - FZero GX

- Nintendo is going to announce a HUGE eSports initiative called Nintendo Arena with ESL. This is Nintendo’s own eSports league where after the Switch launch worldwide people can compete in select multiplayer and speed running games to then compete in a National in their own country and then a WORLD event every January. Nintendo Arena/ESL will also assist in other tournaments such as EVO and Pokemon World Championships.
- Nintendo is also resurrecting the N-Sports brand to highlight sports games both first and third party, all bound together by one utility app with ESPN.
- There will be a HUGE Super Bowl trailer done by the same people who made the Pokemon 20th Anniversary advert last year. Was told it is really catchy and will be the big first marketing hurrah in the US.
- They will also be targeting commercials with the 59th Annual Grammy Awards, 89th Academy Awards, the second half of The Walking Dead Season 6, the entire run of LEGION on FX, Disney XD programming, Teen Wolf on MTV, Lip Sync Battle on Spike, Empire on FOX, Big Little Lies/Crashing/Sesame Street on HBO, RuPaul’s Drag Race on Logo, Crunchyroll programming and the entire NBA March Madness games on various channels. They will also try to demo the device on Good Morning America and Late Night with Steven Colbert.
- They also will announce during or around this time that Nintendo is going to be a full partner for the South Korean Winter Olympics in 2018 and the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, loaning their mascots and other aspects of Nintendo in exchange for marketing opportunities.
- All the Mario McDonalds Toys in Japan will come to the USA in March for the Nintendo Switch launch in NA. They will also have a sweepstakes at McDonalds where you can win a Nintendo Switch and select games.
- Nintendo also plans on doing a giant tour of collages and sports stadiums leading up to and during Spring Break in the USA.
- Various YouTube celebrities both from the video game world and other fields will have Nintendo Switch mailed to them a week before launch to talk about it on their channels and social media.
- Nintendo will be deploying kiosks at GameStop, Best Buy, Toy’s R Us, Target and Walmart the last week of February into the first week of March. The Dock is rooted into the kiosk and the Core and Joycons are going to be tethered, allowing one to either play on the TV or on the handheld. When taken out of it’s Dock a video and screenshot montage of the game you are playing will air on the TV.
- There will be a special service Nintendo will launch in March for an undisclosed amount of time for Southwest Airlines. A specially made kiosk with multiple Nintendo Switch will be loaded in. Passengers can chose what games they like on the TV, then they can take the Nintendo Switch with Joycons with that game on board to play and watch content on, then return it at their destination. The Switches are specially modified to have one game, Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Kindle, Twitch and Spotify. They are GPS and NFC tracked and can be rented for a flat fee.
- Nintendo will use Mitomo, Pokemon Go, Super Mario Run and the Apple App Store to vigorously promote their products. Their existing mobile titles and future ones will be cross compatible with the Nintendo Switch games of the same IPs.
- Also, a quick note on that Nickelodeon show. Me and others in marketing have heard about this show idea floating around two years ago. It’s a 3D animated showed staring Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach and Captain Toad. Globally it will be called Super Mario TV World but in the US it will be called The NEW Super Mario Bros Super Show and will have a remixed version of the classic cartoon song.

I don’t know what that is but if I had to guess, a huge fan favorite that everyone has been begging for might come back.

This ends the long rumor details that he leaked through Reddit and if what he has said is true; then there is many interesting things to note in this rumor such as Dissidia Versus: Final Fantasy which hasn’t had a port announced yet, SoulCalibur VI, Ninja Gaiden & MegaMan not having even been announced as of yet, Kingdom Hearts III getting a Holiday 2017 release and of course, Batman: Arkham Apocalypse which could be the official name of the long rumored Damian Wayne title. Another interesting thing to take into account is the mention of Virtual Console titles from Gamecube & Dreamcast which in all previous rumors and reports of the Switch have never been brought up.
As previously mentioned, all of the things listed above should be considered rumor until confirmed true by either Nintendo or any of the companies listed above but at least we won’t have much longer to wait until we find out some more information.
The Nintendo Switch will be released in March and will have a presentation next week which you can find the dates and times for by clicking the link below.
