On October 20, 2016, Nintendo revealed their next big console, the Switch. To some fans the announcement was no doubt a surprise. But to those of us who have kept a close eye on gaming websites over the past year, it was simply confirmation of rumors that were all already out there.
Tonight, Nintendo will hold a far bigger event, this time to reveal the price, launch lineup, and release date of their handheld-console hybrid. And yet again, hardcore Nintendo fans have to wonder: How much of this information will be new? How much do we already know? How many of the leaks that we’ve seen floating around over the past few months were actually true? How much was misinformation?
In other words, it’s rumor reckoning time.
