The concept of a trilogy remaster for Switch is pretty much old hat now - it's been a long-standing rumor, and it's been suggested to VG247 that this has been sitting on the shelf completed, awaiting a release date, its limbo status in part down to problems with Metroid Prime 4's development. That release was also digitally re-released on Wii U. The Metroid Prime trilogy originally released as two titles on GameCube then one on Wii, but was then remastered as one package for Wii, with the GameCube titles getting motion controls added into the mix. Prior to that it had allegedly been in development at Bandai Namco, but we'll likely never know the full truth now. The game was in development for years but obviously wasn't going the way Nintendo had hoped, as in February the company announced that it was starting development over, shifting it back to Prime trilogy creator Retro Studios. While it's now clear you don't actually need a game on a Nintendo platform to be considered for Smash, Joker's inclusion might be eased if there were a port on the way.Īs we all know Metroid Prime 4 is coming, but not for a while. Could the same be about to happen with Persona 5? It's of course also important to remember that Persona 5's Joker is joining Super Smash Bros Ultimate as DLC in a matter of weeks. With Catherine: Full Body, Atlus and the P-Studio development team decided to release an updated director's cut of the game for some platforms while simply re-releasing the original version on other platforms, like PC. The format of that name lines up with Persona spin-offs - the Persona 4 fighter was known as 'P4A', for instance - but that S could equally stand for Switch. A few days later, Atlus teased 'P5S' on a separate website, promising more news on April 25. We still don't fully know what Royale is, but signs point to it being an expanded version of the game as with Persona 4 The Golden. This is an interesting one, as fans were hoping Persona 5 Royale would involve a Switch version of the game, but that was instead announced just for PS4. The listing leak that kicked things off was one for Persona 5 for Switch. The apparent 'leak' focuses around three games, each with slightly different circumstances that makes their inclusion interesting. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. For what it's worth, I can confirm it is in Best Buy's system Persona 5 (Switch) is leaked via Best Buy's employee terminal. With that said, it's also true that retailers are often pre-briefed by publishers and sometimes mistakes happen - like a little under a year ago when Wal Mart Canada listed Rage 2, Gears of War 5, Just Cause 4 and others before they were announced. Retail leaks of this nature always have to be taken with a pinch of salt, as ultimately these databases are filled out by employees who will often use guesswork to fill out placeholder slots. The suggestion is that all three of these games are coming to Switch. The listings on Best Buy's internal staff-only database were first leaked to twitter a few hours ago, and have since been corroborated and confirmed by other users. But is this a leak or a guesswork placeholder? US retailer Best Buy has sent Switch fans into meltdown by quietly posting retail listings for Persona 5, Metroid Prime Trilogy and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for Switch.
